Dr Andrew Taylor
Still (1828-1912) of Missouri, was the founder of Osteopathy.
He believed that the body was self - healing and that
the tissues of the body needed a healthy, continuous
nerve and blood supply if it were to function correctly.
The system of manipulation he devised was intended to
realign the body of any abnormalities. This has now been
adapted for use on horses. The treatment includes soft
tissue massage, and manual techniques of adjustment on
the horse. Equine Osteopaths have had lots of success
treating a wide range of musculoskeletal problems of
the horse.
