Therapy can help horses in a number of ways, including:

Recovering from injuries: Physical therapy can help horses to recover from a variety of injuries, such as fractures, muscle strains, and tendon tears. Physical therapy can help to improve range of motion, reduce pain, and strengthen muscles.
Improving performance: Physical therapy can also be used to improve a horse's performance. For example, physical therapy can help to improve a horse's cardiovascular health, muscle strength, and flexibility.
Preventing injuries: Physical therapy can also be used to help prevent injuries in horses. For example, physical therapy can help to strengthen muscles and improve balance, which can help to reduce the risk of falls and other injuries.

Here are some specific examples of how physical therapy can be used to help horses:

A horse with a fractured leg may use physical therapy to improve range of motion in the leg and strengthen the muscles around the joint.
A horse with a muscle strain may use physical therapy to reduce pain and inflammation in the muscle.
A horse with a tendon tear may use physical therapy to strengthen the tendon and prevent further injury.
A racehorse may use physical therapy to improve its cardiovascular health and muscle strength.
A horse that is prone to falling may use physical therapy to strengthen its muscles and improve its balance.

Physical therapy can be performed by a qualified equine physical therapist. Equine physical therapists use a variety of techniques, such as massage, therapeutic exercise, and electrotherapy, to help horses recover from injuries, improve their performance, and prevent future injuries.

If you are considering physical therapy for your horse, be sure to talk to your veterinarian. They can help you to determine if physical therapy is right for your horse and can recommend a qualified equine therapist.
