Storm

Re: Storm – Physiotherapy Notes - 30/12/25 Subjective Storm was seen for an initial assessment. She enjoys pole-work clinics and flatwork lessons regularly and in kept in regular work. Shod on all 4 feet, well balanced- up to date. Static & Dynamic Observations: • • • • • Static conformation is good, straight forelimbs and hindlimbs. Stands square majority of the time, off-loads the left hindlimb. Walks with asymmetric pelvic movement Close with the hindlimbs and reduced hindlimb protraction Toe drag occasionally in trot with the hindlimbs – drops the back in trot and lacks some impulsion from the hindlimbs Palpation Findings: • • • • • Restricted right hindlimb when stepping/stretching forward – more so the left hindlimb as this is the support limb and dislikes being lifted. Lumbar tension and spasming (mild) and into ribs. Reluctance to lift back – thoracic is good but restricted thoracic Right neck bend is restricted C2-5 – naturally holds head in elevation and restricts mobility. Limited right forelimb extension
