About Me

A little bit about me,

I achieved my MSc in Veterinary Physiotherapy at Writtle University (part of Anglia Ruskin University). 

For my undergraduate degree I achieved a first class BSc (hons) in Equine Science with Therapy at Hartpury University and I am a member of the NAVP (National Association of Veterinary Physiotherapists).  

I have always had a passion for helping animals and through my experiences over the years with my own animals keeping them strong and rehabilitating them post injury is essential for keeping them comfortable and able to do what they love. I compete my own horses out eventing and have trained my own spaniel as a working gun dog, with the goal of doing some trials as she grows up.

My aim as a physiotherapist is to provide top quality treatments and rehabilitation with the individual animal at the heart focusing on reducing pain, improving mobility, building strength and condition to improve overall performance and well-being of the animal.

As a physiotherapist I use a mixture of up to date manual techniques, electrotherapy's and specialist therapeutic exercises to help each animal recover, reduce their pain, stiffness, increase relaxation and build strength.

Testimonials

Esther has been treating my 12 year old Working Cocker Spaniel, Taupo, for several months with great success. Taupo has a multitude of issues including lumbosacral spondylosis, arthritis, spinal tension and muscle atrophy. The sessions with Esther involve laser therapy, PEMFT, heat treatment, muscle effleurage, and physiotherapy.
After each session Taupo is much more comfortable and her movement is noticeably easier and more fluid.
Esther's approach is calm, professional and reassuring. Taupo often falls asleep during her sessions, showing how relaxed she is whilst having treatment.
I highly recommend Esther.

Jane (March 2024)

After noticing my 8 year old Springer Spaniel Bonnie was jumping awkwardly at agility, not using her back end fully to stretch over the jumps, I took her to Esther for a check-over and treatment. After just one session of PEMF therapy and some deep tissue massage with Esther, Bonnie was jumping completely differently, more freely and was obviously a lot happier. Esther's wonderfully patient and calm approach meant Bonnie was very relaxed and accepting of treatment. The session was completely stress free. I would highly recommend Esther and will certainly be seeking further treatments for Bonnie when needed.

Suzette (October 2023)

A great session today for my horse with Esther - PEMF Therapy Treatment, Laser & Heat Therapy as well as manual techniques and stretches.

He was totally chilled throughout due to Esther’s calm and sympathetic approach.


She also recommended some useful polework exercises to help with rehab.

Nicky (September 2023)

Thank you Esther for doing such a fab job schooling my boy. The difference in him today was unreal.

Highly recommend Esthers schooling services, extremely knowledgeable and professional. Skylark has had the best care these last 3 weeks.
