But what actually IS Winback TECAR therapy? ⚡️🐴

Winback is the brand name, the technology behind “TECAR” uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate a biological response within the tissues, helping to support circulation, tissue recovery, pain modulation and muscle relaxation.

One of the benefits of TECAR is its ability to target deeper tissues, rather than simply working at the surface.

I use both CET (capacitive) and RET (resistive) modes depending on the tissues and the individual horse, with treatment tailored to what I find during assessment.

It can be incorporated into rehabilitation and performance programmes to support:
✨ Muscles & fascia
✨ Tendons & ligaments
✨ Joint and periarticular tissues
✨ Recovery after exercise
✨ Relaxation and mobility

I’ve had so many good results with this machine! If you think this technology would benefit your horse too please message me.

It’s like a reward 🥰🐴✨

Did you know? 🐴

Yawning, licking and chewing can be signs of release and relaxation in horses.

You may notice these behaviours during or after bodywork as the horse begins to let go of tension and settle into a more relaxed state.

They’re subtle signs, but they can tell us a lot about how a horse is responding!

What I do in my spare time 🇬🇧 🐎 🐑

💫 Assessment of the SI region should always be performed with a gentle, controlled approach.✨

My technique is gentle and controlled. I’m looking at how the pelvis and surrounding structures feel, how the horse responds to palpation, and whether there are areas of tension, asymmetry, restriction or pain that may be affecting pelvic and hindlimb function.

It’s about putting all those little pieces together rather than focusing on one structure in isolation. 🐴.

🐴 Why I won’t keep clients on my books who constantly speak badly about other equine therapists behind their backs.🐴

In this industry, bad mouthing is a major red flag.

If you’re comfortable criticising, undermining or gossiping about another professional when they’re not there, I have to assume you could do exactly the same to me.

Equine therapy is a small industry. We work alongside local vets, physios, farriers, saddlers and trainers — and professional respect matters.

I’m not interested in being part of drama, competition or “he said, she said”.

I want clients who value professionalism, collaboration and doing what’s best for the horse!
