A must read for anyone with an injured horse. This book will expose you
to the whole world of physical therapy treatments utilized by physical therapist,
sports medicine doctors, body workers, and others in the human world which
therapists like Mimi Porter are applying to equines. History of these treatments,
covering over two decades, validates their effectiveness by the thousands of horses
successfully returned to pre-injured condition. It's important to note most of the
therapies discussed are not offered by standard veterinarian care. I particularly
like the incorporation for bodywork techniques, such as, cranialsacral and
myofascial release which offer more effective healing than traditional massage.
And if you want an alternative to injecting your horse with medication there is an
excellent section covering iontophoresis. Even though it is not a protocol book,
and finding someone that is trained in many of these methods can be difficult, it's the
individual awareness and knowledge that will create a demand for much needed equine therapists. Well written with many excellent photos make this an enlightening and enjoyable read.

I found Ms Porter's book to be indispensably useful regarding Equine Sports Therapy, and also interesting to read. Each chapter focuses on a major theraputic modality, and discusses its basic scientific theory, techniques for proper use, and pros and cons. Ms Porter's holistic approach to Equine Therapy was much appreciated. Throughout her book she supports the horse as an individual, and stresses that each plan of treatment must be centered on that horse's individual needs, rather than just based on a manufacture's recommendation.
I would recommend this book to any Equine Vet, Therapist or Care-giver. It's a valued addition to my library.
