Oisin

Oisin– Exercise Prescription13/8/24 Oisin was seen for his initial consult 13/8/24. Posture assessment showed tension in the head and neck, heavy on the forehand, good square stance and extended pelvis. Some swelling left forelimb was seen (due to splint and being stood in all day). Gait assessment: In walk, increased pelvic drop right hand side, reduced flexion with left hindlimb. Tracks up and reguilarly overtracks, heel first landing with hindlimbs and good ground clearance, reduced forelimb protraction and elevation. Toe-in right fore. Head tilted nose right, poll left. Reluctant in trot, hindlimb movement is stilted on tight turns and reduced neck lateral flexion. Palpation: Temporalis muscle on forehead bulding slightly indicating jaw tension and restrictions felt in the jaw, sensitive over TMJ left hand side. Reduced neck mobility around poll, vertebrae seem okay. Nuchal ligament restrictive and “pings” from one side to another. Restricted forelimb protraction esp left forelimb. Lower back tension. Back range of movement is good. Other: saddle slips right, flocking feels deflated and saddle balance is tipping the rider back. Bridle buckles pressing on TMJ. Goals:  Strengthen hindimbs to improve flexion  Mobilise the neck/poll  Stretch shoulders and lighten forehand horsestohoundsphysio@gmail.com www.horsestohoundsphysio.co.uk 07729002162 horsestohoundsphysio@gmail.com www.horsestohoundsphysio.co.uk 07729002162 horsestohoundsphysio@gmail.com www.horsestohoundsphysio.co.uk 07729002162 horsestohoundsphysio@gmail.com www.horsestohoundsphysio.co.uk 07729002162 horsestohoundsphysio@gmail.com www.horsestohoundsphysio.co.uk 07729002162 horsestohoundsphysio@gmail.com www.horsestohoundsphysio.co.uk 07729002162
