has helped them recover.
Chewie was diagnosed with a pulled shoulder muscle. After an initial period of rest and medication the injury reoccurred as soon as she chased a squirrel. Physio was recommended by our vet and we saw Sarah over a period of 5 months. She was fantastic with Chewie, taking time to explain the benefits of her treatment and what we could do to help her throughout her treatment. Being careful not to push her too fast Chewie had massage and sessions on the aqua treadmill, building up her strength gradually. She is now fully recovered, although she still has exercises to do to help her maintain her flexibilty and strength. She is back chasing squirrels, rabbits, foxes and her brother!

We were recommended to take our 7 year old German Shepherd bitch Skye to Sarah the physio after she hurt her back leaping out of her bed. The vets told us it was arthritis and she would have to be on painkillers for the rest of her life. She was in such a bad way she couldn't get down the steps into the back garden, which was sad to see as she has always been an active dog.
She has now had 3 sessions of physio and the difference is amazing. After the second session she was running out in the garden, up and down steps and over little jumps. We have been able to reduce the dose of her painkillers by over half and Sarah tells us that after a couple more sessions we will be able to stop the painkillers completely.
Skye has now had a couple more physio sessions with Sarah and she is off the painkillers completely, she is back to how she was before the injury, she is even jumping in and out of the car which is something I never thought I would see again. Our other German Shepherd is so grateful that his playmate is back to full strength (which she needs to be to keep up with him).
If it wasn't for Sarah, Skye would be on painkillers for the rest of her life and not leading the kind of life she deserves.
Once again Thank You

Boozer
Boozer is a 12 year old Labrador who was referred to Sarah Dalton following the diagnosis of lumbo-sacral disease and a compressed disc of the spine. He already had advanced osteoarthritis and was undoubtedly in a great deal of pain and discomfort.
“I feel that Sarah took a great deal of interest in Boozer from the start. She assessed him at the beginning of each session to establish where the problems were before working to relieve any tension.
Sarah is extremely thorough and competent in her approach to her work. She led Boozer’s rehabilitation and very quickly gained my trust and respect. She coached me to enable me to undertake the exercises and massage with Boozer in between her visits to aid his rehabilitation.
I am in no doubt that Sarah’s interactions, total commitment and professionalism played a huge part in ensuring that Boozer avoided major spinal surgery and gave him the stability and freedom of movement he now enjoys”

Billie
The lame but lovely chestnut arab.
I fell in love and bought a lame Arab 3 years ago. I bought him as he was due to be put down. Billy has had many problems, he was bought and sold several times before he was 3 and then I came along. I bought him with a view of him being a pet. Billy did very well in hand as a youngster and has even qualified for the UKIAHS. Unfortunately he has had terrible feet problems and has always been extremely choppy on his left front to the point where he didn't walk or trot properly and always looked lame.
I did the best that I could and had some very beneficial help from my instructor as I began to ride him. However everytime I took him to a show or dressage test the judges would always comment on his stride, how unbalanced he was and that he didn't look comfortable. Sometimes he would get a little better but this would only last a little while and then he would get a lot worse, to the point where I decided there was no point trying to ride him anymore and he could just stay with me for the rest of his years as my friend and a very expensive pet.
My instructor recommended that I try Sarah as a last resort and I AM SO GLAD THAT I DID. Billy is now a different boy, happy, supple, not choppy and always getting placed when I take him to dressage. I never have any comments about him being unbalanced or choppy and everyone puts what a promising horse he is. We would not be where we are without Sarah and my instructor. Sarah has worked miracles and Billy is now doing Novice Level Dressage and learning how to jump. Most of his problems are down to all the in-hand showing and being continuously pulled to the left - that and the fact that his feet were so poorly shaped.
Sarah has given us lots of exercises and every time she comes there is a real improvement. Billy loves his time with Sarah and will stand for hours being pulled and massaged. I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO THANK SARAH FOR WHAT SHE HAS DONE FOR US - BUT I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER AND OFTEN DO. This hopefully will show people that there are always options available when there is someone like Sarah there to help.
