G Coates Animal Physiotherapy

Gemma has been taking care of Ralphie’s mobility for over a year . She is professional and kind. Although Ralphie can’t be cured she is definitely helping us improve his quality of life and as a bonus he adores her.

I asked Gemma to come out to see my boy after he had some very negative reactions to both a bridle and saddle. I informed Gemma that he had his teeth done prior to the visit and that the dentist had said there were a few sharp teeth but all was okay. Gemma found some clicking in his jaw and knew there was something else going on that was dental and she advised a 2nd opinion to check his teeth and jaw again.I arranged this and Gemma was correct, the previous dentist had over filed some teeth and not filed others. His jaw wasn't rotating properly and he needed correction work from what the previous dentist had done. I'm so pleased I asked Gemma to come to my boy, had she not then I likely would've trusted the opinion of the first dentist and would still have no idea what was wrong with my horse or why he was so bad around his face. He is having a little time to allow him to adjust and let the sensitivity of the overfilled tooth to calm down and then Gemma is going to come back out to release the tension around his poll that was created by the dental problem. Can not reccoment Gemma highly enough, she is a very friendly, professional and knowleagble woman that has really changed things for us! Thanks again Gemma x
