Comprehensive care for your horse
The foundation of our work is built on therapy, equine nutrition consulting and digital support, individually tailored to your horse and extending well beyond the on-site consultation. In our seminars on equine health, we combine sound expertise with practical experience and share knowledge in a clear, accessible and practical way.
Therapy
-
We use proven methods such as manual therapy, muscle and fascial treatments, Matrix Rhythm Therapy, acupressure, and equine taping (additional cost) to release blockages, improve mobility, and relieve pain.
-

Subtle impulses for better balance: Craniosacral Therapy taps into the natural sensitivity of our horses. Instead of mechanical pressure, this osteopathic method relies on minimal, mindful touch. It releases deep-seated blockages between the cranium and sacrum, bringing peace to the nervous system.
The perfect support for jaw alignment issues, headshaking, back pain, or ongoing stress in your horse's daily life.
Nutrition
-
We provide individually tailored nutrition for your horse. The consultation includes an initial meeting, a feeding questionnaire, photo and video analyses, and the creation of a customized feeding plan with ration calculation.
-
Our time-limited, problem-focused feeding programs support your horse’s metabolism. Possible focus areas include gastric support, gut microbiome, and liver and kidney function. The programs are individually tailored and integrated into the existing feeding routine.
-
If your existing feeding plan is no longer up to date - due to health changes, new blood results, or shifting requirements - we review and adjust it accordingly.
-
Not sure whether a feed or supplement really suits your horse? We assess selected products, review their composition in relation to your goals, and provide clear, honest feedback.

Seminars for Horse Owners
We address relevant topics from everyday horse care and explain complex aspects of equine health and nutrition in a clear and practical way. The individual horse and its natural needs are always at the heart of our approach.
Our courses are available for horse owners, stable communities and equestrian clubs, with content tailored to your specific interests.

Examples of when treatment may benefit your horse (this list is not exhaustive):
Stiffness in specific body areas
Pain associated with the musculoskeletal system
Gait irregularities

Behavioral issues
Resistance to work or training
A veterinary evaluation is required for lameness, traumatic injuries, or underlying health conditions before therapy can begin.

You are welcome to exercise your horse prior to the treatment; however, we recommend a cool-down period of 30–45 minutes. Additionally, please present your horse clean, dry, and with its hooves cleaned out for the examination.

Medical History and Consultation with the Owner
Acquisition of the horse's medical history
Definition of treatment objectives

Following the medical history, gait analysis, and physiotherapeutic assessment, the results will be discussed, and appropriate treatment methods will be selected.
Feel free to express any preferences, questions, or concerns!
-
After the treatment, you may walk your horse for a few minutes and then allow it to rest. For the following two days, ample turnout and only light work, such as pasture time or gentle lunging, are recommended.

Equi-Rehab operates in various cantons across German-speaking Switzerland.
-
Yes! As we serve clients in, for example, the cantons of Thurgau and Graubünden, where authorization is required, the respective veterinary offices of both cantons have issued professional practice permits.
Therapy
-
Every horse benefits from comprehensive nutritional consulting, as even healthy horses can develop health imbalances over time due to an unsuitable or unbalanced diet. A feeding plan should always be individually tailored to the horse’s specific needs. It is particularly advisable in cases of:
Weight issues or metabolic disorders
Digestive, hoof, or coat problems
Decreased performance, muscle issues, or in senior horses
Important:
Nutritional therapy does not replace veterinary diagnosis or treatment. -
For the consultation, the most detailed information possible about your horse is helpful. This includes, in particular:
The current feeding plan, including quantities and any supplements
Information on age, housing, workload, and overall health status
Recent photos of your horse
If available, blood work results, veterinary reports, or hay analyses can be useful.
-
We create an individually tailored nutrition plan for your horse. The consultation includes:
An initial consultation and a detailed health and feeding questionnaire
Photo and video analysis of your horse
A customised feeding plan, including ration calculation
-
In general, you will receive your personalised feeding plan within 7 to 14 days after all required information has been received and payment has been completed.
-
Nutritional consulting is not tied to a specific location and is conducted entirely online. This makes consultations possible regardless of location.
