Dotty

Dotty – Exercise Prescription and Notes 4/3/25 Subjective: Dotty now has her shoes back on and is ready to step up into more work. Been on fun rides and is settling better now bit and saddle have been altered. Looks more developed over her neck and posture is looking more balanced and uphill. Gait: Straight moving but a little close moving with all limbs. Left hindlimb is externally rotated (toe out, hock in, stifle out and hip in). Right hip hike and stiffer right hindlimb. Stilted and extended lower back in walk and lack of gluteal muscle. Marginally more muscle on the right hindlimb. Trot evens up well. Owner noticed canter is improving, still occasionally takes the wrong lead in canter. Main palpation findings Hypertonicity base of the neck more on the right hand side. Bracing triceps and back with reactive pecs on the right side. Lower back in spasm and into hip flexors which is limiting pelvic motion. Once loosened the pelvic tilts were done easily with good range of motion. 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
