Equine physiotherapy specialist

**Ella Ditchfield BSc (Hons) Veterinary Physiotherapist and FEI Permitted Equine Therapist, based in the North West of England.**
I’m a vet physio who specialises in veterinary physiotherapy for horses. I treat to aid rehabilitation following injury/illness, reducing pain and improving movement. I also treat horses at the very top of their athletic career to maintain peak condition.
I have previous experience working in an equine orthopaedic veterinary surgery and I have also worked with some top level dressage horses and riders, as well as in a multitude of other disciplines including polo.
I am governed by the National Association of Veterinary Physiotherapists (NAVP) and fully insured too for your peace of mind. To find my name listed on the NAVP website, click here. I am also a Permitted Equine Therapist for the FEI after being examined on the FEI code of conduct, FEI regulations and FEI anti-doping regulations which means that I am able to attend and treat at official FEI functions as a carded professional.
Primarily I am based in the North West of England. My core working areas cover: Cheshire, Lancashire, Cumbria, West Yorkshire and the wider Greater Manchester area. I am, however, happy to travel further afield for group bookings or travel cost coverage.
