Sophie Foxwell Veterinary Physiotherapy

Serious injury changes more than just the way an animal moves. ❤️‍🩹

It can change their confidence, their independence, their routine. As an owner it can be incredibly difficult for you too.

Recovery isn’t always a straight line. There can be progress, setbacks, frustration and days where it feels like you’re not getting anywhere.

But sometimes progress looks like one extra step, standing a little more confidently, or simply being able to enjoy something they love again.

Those little moments matter.

As veterinary physiotherapists, we’re there for the whole journey. Supporting the animal, guiding their rehabilitation and helping their owners through the highs and lows along the way.

26, Veterinary Physiotherapist, AHPR Registered, dog mum, and lifelong horse lover. 💫

From helping horses and dogs move, perform and feel their best, to obsessing over sport horse performance — this is a little glimpse into the person behind the passion. 🤍

I’ve always believed that the best results come from understanding the whole animal, not just the problem. That’s where my love for veterinary physiotherapy really comes in.

Here’s to enhancing movement, comfort, performance, and a whole lot of muddy boots along the way.

Healthy movement starts with daily habits.

Whether your horse is a happy hacker, competition horse or even a retired companion, the everyday things you do
can make a big difference to their comfort, mobility and performance.

Follow these 4 daily habits:

✨ Movement before work.
✨ Get hands on, everyday.
✨ Train for longevity.
✨ Don’t ignore the signs.

Horses rarely tell us they’re uncomfortable with obvious signs at the very beginning. Often, it’s a subtle change in behaviour, performance or way of going that is the first little hint.

As a veterinary physiotherapist, I love helping owners spot changes early and keep their horses feeling and performing at their best.

People often ask what keeps me going on the daily, so let’s take a 👀

From coffee to keep me going ☕, treats to win over all of my four-legged patients 🦴🐴, kinesiology tape and electrotherapy equipment essential to any client, to plenty of hydration.

Every single item has its own important purpose, but the best part of the job is always seeing my patients feel and move better. 💜

Healthy dogs aren’t born that way, it comes from daily support.

The little things you do consistently can have a massive impact on your dog’s overall mobility and day to day comfort.

Follow these 4 daily habits:

✨ Walk smarter, not longer.
✨ Build strength, every day.
✨ Recovery is part of fitness.
✨ Spot the signs early.

Dogs are often brilliant at hiding their discomfort, so the first signs of pain are often subtle. The earlier we identify the signs, the more effectively we can help.
