Physio

Today Carats had my fantastic physiotherapist Christine out to treat him, we trotted him up and although he wasn't stepping under himself that well, he looked really quite well. His lower back held a little soreness but nothing bad and in fact less back pain than he had the previous times. 

Christine worked on him for quite a while including using the muscle stim unit on him. His behaviour while being treated was fabulous, much better manners than when she last treated him so that was great news too.

Forwards from this point is a balance of hacking under saddle, being led (using roller and bungee that goes round his bum), and rest days too.

He is very weak at the moment and really lacks muscle so the biggest thing is trying to build him up without pushing things, it's time and patience with my boy.

Generally though all good- onwards and upwards!
