Review of Manual Therapy Techniques
in Equine Practice
Kevin K. Haussler, DVM, DC, PhD

Journal of Equine Veterinary Science Vol 29, No 12 (2009)

The realm of manual therapy includes diverse techniques
such as chiropractic, osteopathy, physical therapy,
massage therapy, and touch therapies, which have
been developed for use in human beings and the techniques
transferred to horses. All forms of manual therapy
have reported levels of effectiveness for treating
musculoskeletal issues in human beings, but mostly
only anecdotally evidence exists in horses. The purpose
of this review is to explore the scientific literature for potential
common mechanisms of action and evidence of
efficacy and safety for different forms of manual therapies,
with a specific focus on joint mobilization and manipulation
techniques.
