Since 2006, I have graduated from the European School of Animal Osteopathy (ESAO) and the veterinary assistant training institute (IFSA).

Certified by the Order of Veterinarians (CNOV OA588) and based in Aix en Provence, in the south-east of France, I also work abroad.

I work daily in horse racing and equestrian centers in collaboration with veterinarians and other animal health professionals.

Also practicing on our canine friends, I follow, among others, several agility centers in the south-east of France.

Animal Osteopathy

It is a manual and natural therapy which takes place when the animal shows osteo-articular and muscular dysfunctions.

The osteopath carries out manipulations on the musculoskeletal structure in order to resolve the lesions, by releasing contractures and softening the joints.

Having your animal handled regularly ensures that all its joints are mobile and that no compensation has taken place.

When to consult ?

Consultation

A diagnostic assessment is established by taking the animal's anamnesis with the trainer, the rider, the owner, the healthcare team (veterinarian, blacksmith, etc.)

We observe it dynamically at different paces, ending with a palpatory approach and testing of the different joints.

The entire processing will be carried out using manual handling techniques in order to deal with any installed compensations.

At the end of the session, we will give a rest time with a rehabilitation program adapted to the discipline of each animal.
