About me ​ My passion for animals made me decide to become an animal physiotherapist. I grew up mainly with cats, later also with the first family dog, the golden retriever Rusty. Riding has been my favorite hobby since I was allowed to start at the age of 11. I started as a show jumper and after a few years I mutated into a dressage freak. In the meantime, I particularly enjoy working with young horses or correction horses. Since 2020, the shepherd lady May has enriched my life and together we venture into the world of dog sports, from agility to canicross. In April 2022 a little surprise tumbled into my life and Cody the Cocker Spaniel moved in. Due to a growth disorder that led to a luxating patella, several veterinarians wanted to euthanize him. I was convinced that he could be helped and I took him in without further ado. Together, the two ensure that I never get bored. ​ Primary and Further Education ​ The knowledge I have learned and the manual techniques enable me to increase the well-being of the animal and give it more joy in movement. I always enjoy seeing positive changes in my patients. That's why I'm always trying to acquire new knowledge, whether through specialist literature or attending seminars. ​ 2016 - 2018: Studies in animal physiotherapy for horses and dogs at the Academy for Animal Naturopathy (ATM) 2017-2018: Studies chiropractic for horses and dogs at the ATM 2019-2021: Qualification course to become a horse specialist at the European Horse Academy 2020- : Studies in acupuncture and naturopathy for horses, dogs and cats at the ATM 2020- : Studies in dog sport sciences at the ATM ​ 06/09/2018: The Tellington TTouch method basic course with Skara Günther 05/30/2019: Seminar on leech therapy with Georg Moser (animal therapy center) 26.10.-27.10.2019: Dry needling for horses with Dr. re. of course Jeanette Rudolph (Vetwissen) August 2nd, 2020: Kinesio taping for horses with Esther Weber-Voigt 08/27/2020: Kinesio taping for dogs with Dr. Sabine Mai (Dogtisch Academy) January 2021: Webinar "Active Training in Physiotherapy" with Carmen Heritier March 18th, 2021: Webinar "Little moppel - overweight animals" with veterinarian Nina Blaschke 03/30/2021 and 04/06/2021: Webinar "Understanding X-ray images" with veterinarian Kim Übermuth 13.11.-14.11.2021: VetScreen laboratory basic seminar 01/13/2022: "Athletes as lifesavers - rescue dogs in prevention and therapy" with veterinarian Dr Juliane Waas February 12-13, 2022: VetScreen laboratory advanced seminar April 2022: Naturopathy consultant for dogs with Paulina Adamczyk (Dogtisch Akademie) November 14, 2020: Participation in the 3rd Animal Physiotherapists Conference with specialist lectures on mycotherapy, cupping therapy, trigger point treatment, physio-riding and orthopedic acupuncture German Riding Badge of the KL.

Laboratory Testing Diarrhea, itching and hair loss. Sometimes proven home remedies or the emergency medication from the last vet visit help with these symptoms. But sometimes, especially in chronic conditions, nothing seems to help anymore. The laboratory diagnostic examination can shed light on this. ​ ​ ​ Blood Tests Most pet owners are familiar with the large or small blood panel. These provide an overview of the current status. It is important to note that this is a snapshot and the results can change very quickly at any time. Furthermore, specific tests such as the ACTH levels in horses with Cushing's disease or certain hormones can be checked using a blood sample. Allergy tests are also possible. ​ ​ Fecal Examinations The stool sample is an important tool in the parasitological examination (worms, giardia). It is also necessary to monitor the intestinal flora. Are there enough "good" bacteria, or are there already too many "bad" ones? The pH value, fungi, viruses and bacteria can also be detected. In horses, you can also check the sand content in the horse's intestines to prevent sand colic. In dogs, on the other hand, pancreatic elastase can be examined to determine pancreatic insufficiency. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Skin and Hair examinations With the help of mucous membrane swabs, various bacteria and fungi as well as viruses can be detected. Hair and skin scrapings and swabs help identify external bacterial, fungal or parasitic infestations. A coat mineral analysis shows whether there are deficiencies over a longer period of time or whether there has been a prolonged exposure to toxins. Urinalysis The urine can also be tested for pH and bacteria. A urine sample can help diagnose diabetes or kidney or liver failure, but can also provide evidence of kidney tumors. ​ ​ Here is the current price list from Vetscreen: ​ There is also a processing fee of 10-15€ and shipping costs. If an appointment is only made to collect samples, there are additional costs for time and travel.

Naturopathic consultation - Healing with nature's help At the moment I am still partly in training! Naturopathy has been with us for a very long time. As early as the Middle Ages, people knew that certain plants could help against diseases or inflammation. Today we have a huge variety of products that we can use to support our animals. Please consider that naturopathy does not replace modern medicine! Phytotherapy Or also: healing with herbs. It is probably the most common natural healing method. Who hasn't had chamomile tea for a stomach ache? I would be happy to consult you on the herbs you can use for your horse or dog. ​ Mycotherapy A very special branch of naturopathy is that of medicinal mushrooms. Due to their ingredients, they are able to have a supportive effect on a wide variety of diseases. Medicinal mushrooms are also used in traditional Chinese medicine. ​ ​ Aromatherapy Essential oils not only smell good, they also have a firm position in naturopathy. The oils can already be absorbed through the skin, even better through the nasal mucosa. From here they can influence the entire organism. The effects range from anti-inflammatory to antipruritic to calming. Homeopathy Homeopathy is a very complex science in itself and is not my area of expertise. In addition, it is restricted by the new Veterinary Drugs Act in its application to animals. That's why I limit myself accordingly to the heel ad. us. vet products at a homeopathic consultation.

Today there is a wide variety of dog sports that dog owners can choose between. But no matter what sport is to be practiced, the dog must not be harmed. To ensure this, the dog must be suitable for its sport and it must be physically prepared. As part of the sports dog care, the actual condition of the dog is evaluated, including an exterior assessment (is my dog built for the respective sport?) and willingness to perform, as well as the training supervised. A training plan is created to match this, with exercises for muscle building and / or conditioning training and / or coordination training, adapted to the sporting requirements. Sports dog care (from mid-2022)

Acupuncture is part of ancient Chinese medicine. It is based on the principle that there are different channels in the body through which the life energy Qi flows. If the flow of energy is disturbed, the body can no longer work properly. The patient gets sick. By placing thin needles, acupressure (with the hands), lasers or similar tools, the flow of energy can be improved again. Although the musculoskeletal system can also be supported, other illnesses can also be treated in this way, often also those where Western medicine reaches its limits. The goal is to treat the body as a whole and bring it back into balance. The animals enjoy it and sometimes relax as well. To play, press and hold the enter key. To stop, release the enter key. Acupuncture (from the end of 2022)

Treatment Here I give you an overview of the typical course of a treatment. However, this list is not a recipe that can be applied to every animal. The procedure is adapted to the patient and therefore no two treatments are the same. ​ Anamnesis At the beginning of a treatment there is an anamnesis interview. This includes questions about the keeping and usage of the animal. The animal's medical history is also needed. Medical reports and x-rays from the vet are important for the successful treatment of certain health conditions. ​ Inspection After the conversation, I look at your animal in a standing position. How is the general condition? The muscling? Does the animal have conformational errors? ​ Gait analysis Next I look at your animal while walking. Usually I look at the sequence of movements in walk and trot. Variations in the nature of the ground, tight turns and walking backwards contribute to a more detailed analysis. ​ Palpation and joint testing Now I'll palpate your animal. I feel for warm spots, swelling, tension, changes in and under the skin, as well as pain. Then I test the joints of the limbs as well as the head and spine for mobility. ​ Therapy As soon as I have an overview of the problem areas of your animal, I can start the treatment. The focus is on the patient's well-being. A calm atmosphere helps the animal to focus on the treatment and to tell me what feels good. Depending on the patient, I combine techniques from physiotherapy and chiropractic. ​ Further measures Finally, I will summarize my findings for you and will be happy to give you advice on how to continue working with your animal. If necessary, I recommend that you consult other experts (veterinarian, trainer, hoof trimmer, etc.). Special with the horse Especially when horse owners tell me that certain problems occur only or mainly while riding, it is worth looking at the equipment and the horse under the rider.

Leech therapy These little bloodsuckers are now also part of my therapy toolbox. Leeches have been used for therapeutic purposes for hundreds of years. The reason: the many active substances in the leech's saliva, including hirudin and calin. Blood clotting is inhibited and the blood vessels expand. The blood circulation is stimulated, there is a gentle bloodletting, the lymph flow is improved. Leech treatment takes an average of 30 minutes, but bleeding can last up to 12 hours. ​ Important for treatment: leeches are a bit fussy and sensitive and don't just bite everyone. Shampoos, fly sprays, tick remedies, but also antibiotics and other drugs in the patient's blood can interfere with the treatment. Therefore, such agents or medications should not be used for at least 48 hours before treatment. ​ Leeches can be used for many issues, including tendon injuries, hip dysplasia, laminitis, nerve inflammation, spondylosis, osteoarthritis and patellar dislocations.

Chiropractic Chiropractic deals primarily with dysfunctions or subluxations of the joints, especially the spine. Horses and dogs each have over 50 vertebrae. Between each of these vertebrae there are not only joints, but also exit points for nerves. A spinal subluxation can affect the nervous system and consequently also internal organs. In addition, joint dysfunctions lead to a restriction in mobility. In chiropractic I treat functional disorders of the joints. This means that the full range of motion is limited or not present at all. As a chiropractor, I give a targeted thrust to the dysfunctional unit in order to restore mobility.

Physical Therapy In physiotherapy, the entire musculoskeletal system with muscles, tendons, ligaments, connective tissue and joints is considered. All of these individual units are networked with one another and form a complex mechanism. Even the smallest tension or joint issue can lead to major dysfunctions. Affected animals often show a limited range of motion and ability to perform and/or a reduced general well-being. I work almost exclusively with my hands and use various massage and mobilization techniques. But every animal is different and every disease requires different therapeutic approaches and so different devices are included. Physiotherapy offer classic massage active and passive mobilization Muscle building and active exercise therapy Gait training and proprioception training Magnetic field therapy Electro therapy Laser therapy Dry needling for horses Kinesio taping Moor wraps Novafon Treatment of neurological failures Tellington TTouches and body straps

The goal of every rider should be to have a supple horse that enjoys working with the rider. And preferably for many years. In order to achieve this goal, the horse must move freely under the rider and be ridden without force or coercion. Today's strong focus on a beautiful head posture and extravagant gaits unfortunately wrecks the horses too early. When a horse really carries itself, it lifts its chest between the shoulder blades and seeks connection on its own. For this to happen, the horse must have time to build up its muscles, it must not be hindered by excessive hand pressure and it must develop a good body feeling. In my riding lessons and horse training (from the saddle or ground) I introduce you to the biomechanical background of riding and help you develop more feeling for your horse, as well as teaching the horse to carry itself healthily under the rider.
