Thomas

Thomas – Exercise Prescription 02/1/24 Thomas was seen following a fall with his rider in which he sustained superficial grazing and some swelling to his left hand side. Advised 2 weeks of in-hand, lunging or rest to allow for swelling to subside. In walk Thomas moved on 3 tracks with intermittent lateral and medial placement of the left hindlimb. Minor pelvic asymmetry was seen indicating the left hind was his weaker limb. The foot landed mostly on the lateral hoof wall creating a base narrow and unstable appearance – intermittently the limb would be placed in the sagittal plane and following treatment looked more often back on 2 tracks. The left forelimb also landed on the lateral hoof wall which may be due to tension on the left triceps and serratus muscles holding the limb to the body. The thoracic sling was low and the pectorals take alot of strain and place the spine into extension. Leading to weaker topline and less engagement from the hindlimbs. Swelling and tenderness on left rib heads T14-18 and into lumbar region. Swelling left intercarpal joint – Range of movement resented but no abnormality palpated. 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
