About Helen Three things to ask your practitioner
|
Helen's lifelong desire to improve the health and welfare of horses and other animals led her to become a sports therapist. Before setting up in practice, Helen studied a four-year BSc (Hons) Equine Science degree at the University of the West of England, Hartpury College. Helen graduated with first class honours. Helen's training included placements with various equine and small animal vets, which has provided her with the hands-on knowledge and experience to widen her practice to small animals, such as goats, sheep, dogs and even cats. Helen's dissertation, which studied the effect of road nails on equine hoof balance, was selected as the Eqvalan Thesis of the Year after she gave a presentation at the Royal Agricultural Society. She went on to present her research at the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. This was followed by a two-year Postgraduate Diploma in Animal Manipulation (PGDipAM) from McTimoney College, validated by the University of Wales. Helen is also qualified in equine sports massage after obtaining Equine Body Worker (EBW) certification from Equinenergy. This popular, effective therapy can be used separately or alongside McTimoney animal manipulation. In 2005, Helen was asked to return to McTimoney College to tutor students in the animal manipulation technique and is currently enjoying helping the next generation of McTimoney students develop their skills.
