Ziggy

Re: Ziggy– Physiotherapy Notes - 9/12/25 Subjective Ziggy was seen 9/12/25 for a check up appointment. He is in full work and is ridden 5x a week with a variety of jumping and hacking. Static & Dynamic Observations: • • • Static conformation is good, straight forelimbs and hindlimbs, wide hindlimbs with good foot balance. When walking the left hindlimb laterally circumducts around to the side more so than the right. Reduced hindlimb flexion bilaterally in walk and trot Palpation Findings: • • • • • Right serratus muscle around shoulder restricted around girth area Lumbar pain with spasming and trigger points Hindlimb retraction restricted with some loss of balance Very good back mobility when doing sternal rounding and pelvic tilts Base of the neck shortened and tight on the right side with fascial restrictions Overall: Some stiffness in the lower back caused by restricted hindlimbs, more needs to be done to get the hindlimbs across and under the body and the flex them to increase impulsion
