 DiagnosticsPreferred by national dressage and 3DE event champions, national level show jump champions, leading race horse trainers, young export stock vendors, PC champs teams and international destination horse treks.These are amongst many who are now using ERMT (Equine Remedial Muscle Therapy) to maintain top efficiency and soundness. ERMT is available nationwide and is administered by international trainer, rider, clinician and therapist, Geoff Culverwell. Geoff is constantly in touch with many other international practitioners on a regular basis, consulting, assisting and gathering any available new information and research data. Group discounts, soundness and suitability assessments, saddle assessments, lectures in horse physio-care and prep, coaching in dressage and jumping preparation (private and group), racehorse and jockey re-education in balancing the galloper etc. Please select a topic from the list below: Symptoms List
All of these symptoms have their own causes, treatments and therapeutic recovery exercises. They have been successfully treated using ERMT to the relief of the owner, not to mention pain relief and the wellbeing of the horse. There are many problems often put down to a poor mental disposition; in many cases temperament has changed dramatically following treatment. Cases of intermittent lameness with no specific diagnosis have also been successfully treated. Every horse needs three good natural paces, only then can schooling for individual disciplines start from a solid base. CONTACT FOR ASSESSMENT  DRESSAGE
CONTACT FOR ASSESSMENT  Visual ObservationsBelow are some visual diagnostic observations of very common problems that can be made without touching the horse. Horses exhibiting these symptoms are unnecessarily working in pain. Generally the causes can be successfully treated. For over ten years in New Zealand and Australia equinePHYSIOcare has been eliminating pain, enhancing movement and gymnastic ability and has assisted in the build-up of many champions. A horse in pain is a dangerous ride. It is therefore prudent to take on board the above information as part of your personal survival kit if you are the rider. For jumping and galloping horses it’s a must. All these symptoms are listed and researched by Geoff Culverwell of equinePHYSIOcare and there are many more, not to mention how they are treated. QUICK WAYS TO IDENTIFY PHYSICAL PROBLEMS IN THE HORSE The contents of a lecture demo given at the Macedon Ranges Dressage Club, dressage with stars and horse rush expo Australia were observed at a distance.
