Henry 07/08/23 Henry was seen for his initial physiotherapy consult todayas a return back into work following owner spinal injury. Henry has been roughed off and has been back into work 2 months. Shod infront. Henry can struggle to remain straight when out hacking and can buck when excited. Gait assessment –Lateral landing pattern bilaterally in the forelimbs, straight moving otherwise with marginal hip drop on he right hand side. Narrow base forelimbs and high stepping gait. Overtracks in walk, in trot the forelimbs have a bilaterally reduced cranial phase of the stride with an abrupt flight arc. Good neck and spinal flexion on tight circles. Foot placement was a little intermittent, foot flight was good and rhythm overall was acceptable on the circles. Palpation –Released tension along facial crest, poll and narrow tongue space under mandible. Right base of brachiocephalicus tense and reactive, low tone in nuchal ligament and over crest. Fascial adhesions left shoulder and trapezius. Serratus ventralis showing tension drawing shoulders towards to the body on the right. Spinal range of motion good (hypermobile?) . Hindlimbs overall good symmetry gluteals, hamstrings hypotrophic. Main aim to improve global musculature and work on straightness and support. [] Exercises [] [] []
