 Veterinarians play a crucial role in equine health, but with limited time and a strong focus on evidence-based treatment, their approach is often symptom-driven. With a growing vet shortage in Australia, there’s a need for better collaboration between vets and skilled bodyworkers. However, many vets hesitate to recommend due to a lack of regulations and familiarity with the benefits of bodywork.

This episode explores how bodywork can enhance veterinary care, the importance of industry standards for bodyworkers, and why an integrated approach offers the best outcome for equine well-being.

Key points: 

• Veterinarians knowledge & scope
• Vets are limited with time
• How is bodywork complimentary
• Industry needs better bodyworker regulations
