AJS Veterinary Physiotherapy, Cambridge (2026)

23/06/2026

It’s about time I introduced AJS Veterinary Physiotherapy’s sponsored rider and his pony- Finley and Misty🩵

Some of you may have already seen Misty on my page as I have been treating her, along with some of the family’s other horses, for some time. This gorgeous pair have been absolutely flying recently, at their last show they came home with a 1st in hand A Section lead rein and a Reserve Champion in hand… amazing! Huge congratulations🤩

I’m very much looking forward to keeping up with Fin and Misty and following them on their showing journey! Look at them modelling their AJS branded gilet and numnah, they look awesome😄 More updates to follow!!

A little Gavin update🐴🩵

Gavin has settled in really well, we’re one week into our 6 week rehab plan, the heat put a short halt on things so we’ve been catching up the last two days. I have completed two full physio sessions with Gavin now and have been using my modalities in between to keep him comfortable.

During our session last Friday I really worked through his middle gluteal, which was hypertonic and dysfunctional given the issues with his SI. He had active fasciculations through into his lumbar but appreciated the releases and even yawned!🤩 The TENS machine was used to provide pain relief in the lumbar region and therefore assist with better function. I finished by taping over his SI with 40% stretch in my tape to assist with muscle and joint function, this will stay on until it falls off.

I also noticed some puffiness in his fetlocks. Some of you may know this as windgalls or wind puffs, which means Gavin has some fluid filling in his tendon sheath. More often than not this condition is simply cosmetic and can be managed through LASER, cold hosing and being mindful of ground conditions, hard ground will exacerbate the condition which I believe is the case with Gav. I have included pre and post LASER and cold hosing pictures with arrows to highlight the affected areas, there is slight improvement with more localised filling rather than global puffiness of the lateral aspect of the fetlocks.

Yesterday was the first day of us trying dynamic core exercises which involved habituating Gavin to foam blocks. Over the next few weeks we’re going to work on getting both front feet to step onto the blocks for a short period of time. This activates the core and is fantastic for improving proprioception and balance, the hind limbs are also placed under slightly more strain- assisting with global muscle activation and development. I wanted to keep the footage of us practicing real and raw for you all!! Just to show how rehabilitating and teaching horses isn’t all sunshine and rainbows and it’s takes a lot of patience and understanding from both sides😆

Third physio session tomorrow. Stay tuned for another update soon! 💪🏼🐴

🚨There’s a new kid on the block!!!🚨

I’d like you to meet the newest member of the AJS team… Gavin🤎

I was incredibly lucky to have been offered this wonderful little horse on loan from a friend. He arrived yesterday so this morning was our first chance to spend some quality time together! He’s been kept in incredible shape and so well looked after, he looks well and has a show stopping shiny coat!

As most horses do, Gavin has a few things going on medically and we’re hoping to manage him with physio and rehab alongside medicating when we need. He has a few sore bits that are notoriously tricky like his girth region (a lot of reactions through Serratus Ventralis- Thoracis), tension/ adhesion where I was getting a bit stuck in his triceps and his hamstrings! I spend quite some time working slowly and deeply through his caudal shoulder and girth area this morning followed by a good few forelimbs stretches- triceps, protraction and an abduction each side, just to try and open him up a bit and stretch out where we had worked.

I think Gavin is going to be a tougher one to crack than others! He’s very good at telling you what is sore (crinkles his nostrils, swishes his tail and lifts legs) but he won’t tell you how to fix it… that’s all on me😅 He doesn’t give much away at the minute in terms of relaxing and enjoying a massage…I got a few licks and chews, gulps and softened eyes so I’ll take it! We’re yet to unlock a yawn🥱

I’m hoping to give him a spin on the lunge tomorrow and then get on board later in the week and just go for an easy walk around the village! Check back soon, there’ll be plenty more Gavin updates👀

Love Amy & Gavin🩵 Xx

RAMP Registration 2026/27

I am super pleased to say that I have renewed my membership with RAMP for another year and made the decision to leave IRVAP, despite their incredible core values and the fantastic annual conference which I attended back in October, I will remain ONLY registered with RAMP for now. I am still fully insured and ready to treat all of your lovely animals!🐴🐶🐱

RAMP remain strict with their values and ethics, and recently released a blog post outlining the importance of continued registration with themselves and the influence this has on musculoskeletal practitioners as a whole. The register relies on consistency and engagement to maintain industry standards.

RAMP ensure the highest standards and levels of care. Members follow strict codes of conduct, only work within their scope of practice and keep up to date with the world of veterinary medicine through CPD📚. The RAMP register continues to assist all of us by defining our place in the veterinary world. It is a community working hard to build trust, provide confidence, communication, development, support and reflection all while ensuring we hold ourselves accountable. RAMP are shaping the future for animal MSK practitioners and by being registered I am part of the group creating clarity for vets, insurers, owners and other practitioners in what physiotherapy encompasses.

Thank you for your ongoing support!! Here’s to another year filled with helping your furry friends stay in tip top shape🩵

🩵Patient progress, Poppet update🩵

A few months ago I posted a progress post about little Poppet and here’s another update!

Unfortunately back in December, around 12 months post right cranial cruciate ligament rupture, Poppet ruptured the cruciate ligament in her left hindlimb😔 This was devastating news, Pops owner was unsure what this would mean going forward. After discussions with her vet and then myself, it was agreed we would throw everything at this little dog to get her comfortable enough to potter round the house and sunbathe in the garden☀️ Obviously her quality of life was at the forefront but there was no reason we couldn’t try! So we had conservative management of bilateral cranial cruciate ligament rupture on our hands…

There was a lot of debate as to whether Poppets right hindlimb would be up to the task of taking a majority of her weight and supporting her throughout rehabilitation round 2! I was confident we had done enough! So it was back to crate rest for 2 weeks and then crack on with physiotherapy. We’ve come such a long way in the last 4 months, Pops is much happier weight bearing, only very occasionally will she lift the left hindlimb (usually when she’s trying to zoom around) but a quick reminder to get her to use it and she’s back on 4 legs, she has more freedom around the house and garden and still loves the beach!🏖️ Her owner is happy for her to join in on all the fun in her own little backpack too😆

Poppet has resumed hydrotherapy and has been taught to use a set of steps to get on and off of the sofa. Who says you can’t teach an old(er) dog new tricks! I’m so unbelievably proud of this little dog and the resilience of her owner, a super team! Well done lil Pop!🐶🩵

Don’t forget to give A Piece of Cake Dog Training a follow to see what Caitlin, Poppet and the rest of the crew are up to! 🍰💜
