Rachel works closely with vets in the area and undertakes referal work for several equine practises. Please note an owner must always consult their veterinary surgeon before seeking McTimoney treatment, it is illegal for anyone to treat an animal without veterinary approval. This can usually be done very quickly over the telephone. Most vets are aware of the benefits of complementary therapy and will readily give permission for treatment by a qualified professional. Full, written treatment reports can be provided to your vet as required.

Protect your animals, please ensure you always use a qualified practitioner. Those qualified in McTimoney will hold either a MSc or PGdip in Animal Manipulation.
