Rocco

Rocco – Exercise Prescription and Notes 06/8/25 Subjective: Rocco was seen for initial physiotherapy consult. He has been XC jumping since june with no issues, looks to have scope and ability over fences. Recently this has declined and he is refusing fences – looks through lack of impulsion. Shoes are due and a little overgrown, conformation is good with straight legs and good amount of mobility in fetlocks. Gait: Elevated limbs and short stride, accounting for some welsh breeding. Walk is straight overall on 2 tracks. His left forelimb was toe in in walk and trot. Lateral hip movement in trot, could benefit from more flexion and extension of the pelvis, right hand side hip drop indicating left hindlimb restrictions. Improved after session. Main palpation findings: Increased tension shoulders and extensors in forelimbs from increased load bearing. Hypertrophic thoracic epaxials and reactive trigger points and spasming into lumbar region on the left. Gluteals hypertonic and similarly hamstrings hypertonic. Hindlimb retraction limited bilaterally in retraction, restricted left hip on adduction, bilaterally gracilis was over developed and hypertonic. Protraction restricted bilaterally. Range of motion: Spinal range of motion attempted but uncomfortable, pelvic extensions and tucks are resented. 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
