Equine Osteopathy · Gloucestershire
Holistic, root-cause osteopathy for your horse. Over 15 years of experience treating performance horses, family ponies, and everything in between.
Our Approach
When a horse stays lame, keeps compensating, or simply never quite returns to their best — the reason is rarely a single injury. More often, there are constraints: accumulated physical restrictions in the body that prevent healing, perpetuate abnormal movement, and keep the problem cycling.
A constraint might be a stiff joint, a tight fascial chain, a postural asymmetry, or a compensation pattern that formed weeks or months ago — long before you noticed anything wrong. Left unaddressed, these restrictions mean that even the right veterinary treatment can't fully take hold, because the body keeps loading the same structures in the same way.
Our work begins by finding those constraints — systematically, through a full postural and movement assessment — and releasing them, so that your horse's body can finally do what it's trying to do: heal.

What We Do
A full postural and movement analysis to identify restrictions, asymmetries, and the root cause of any discomfort — before treatment begins.
Non-invasive, hands-on osteopathy that restores mobility, reduces pain, and returns your horse to their natural, balanced movement.
Specialising in unexplained lameness and subtle gait changes that other practitioners may miss. From hoof to neck — we assess the full picture.
As both an equine and human osteopath, Alexis can identify and treat the unique interplay between rider asymmetries and horse performance issues.

"The first session my horse had with Alexis was incredible — I felt an instant difference and I've never had anyone else treat my horses since. I now help 'problem horses' through their issues, and Alexis is always my first point of call with any horse that feels uncomfortable."
"Our pony went lame for months. After X-rays and several vet inspections — even three different chiropractors — nothing helped. Then a well respected vet suggested Alexis. To my shock and amazement, after one treatment the pony was sound."
"I've been given Alexis's number from friends in racing. That was nearly ten years ago and we've never looked back. He is one of the most knowledgeable practitioners we've ever come across — this is the person you want treating your horse."
"He has in-depth knowledge of the horse and picks up any issues in an instant. Ranging from race horses in full work to the family pony. I always recommend Alexis to anyone asking for a horse therapist."
"He treats both my horses and myself. It's very helpful as he can link the way my body is to how the horses move — and the issues they have. Incredibly professional, wonderful manner, and I would not use anyone else."
"He was able to identify areas of discomfort rapidly, explained everything throughout, and the pony was much at ease. He also had very accurate words of wisdom for me when I casually mentioned my neck. Truly remarkable."
