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. Right poll tension, jaw restricted when moving right to left 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. Tension in hamstrings Limited right forelimb extension
