I’ve been working with Ciara for nearly a year helping to rehab my TB from Kissing Spines surgery. Being a Human soft tissue Therapist myself, I was looking for someone who shared my holistic view of what had happened to my horse and didn’t someone who only wanted to concentrate on my horses back every time and Ciara is that person. She takes a movement centred approach understanding that just because an injury occurred in one place the repercussions can be seen (and felt!) throughout the whole horses body.
It was important to me to choose an ACPAT qualified therapist as it shows the level not only of training and professionalism they have had to undertake but also that they have to keep their knowledge updated via required continuous learning. Remaining curious and open to alternative ideas is refreshing. Treatments shouldn’t be one size fits all!
Ciara takes a caring, understanding approach to both the horse and the owner and has an initiative touch. I would highly recommend her.

I highly recommend Ciara as an animal physio. She has been very professional, thorough and proactive for my dog with back pain. She has communicated effectively with the vet to help me support my dog through the issue and potential solutions - always with my dog at the heart of decisions.

I’ve know Ciara Glaisher for couple months now! She started doing my back who has done brilliantly with regular sessions. I then showed her by showjumper Ozzie who has couple issues after couple sessions he started feeling more elastic and jumping much easier. I wouldn’t change physio I love her approach to people and horses ( yes even is Ozzie eats you and can have attitude) only thing I would say probably like everyone when your having your back done DONT STOP keep going 😂 I like the exercises she gives me even if I can’t do it 😂. Your the best keep up good work xx

We cannot praise Ciara enough for the difference she has made to our standard poodle Alfie. After several visits to vets for x-ray's and scans that provided no conclusive answer to his rear leg and spine problems we contacted Ciara. Ciara visited us ( three times in total) and her professional, knowledgeable experience is clear, coupled with her incredible calming influence had Alfie so chilled while she worked her magic on him. He is now back to the happy energetic dog that he used to be. Thank you so very much.

Fantastic and reliable physio who worked with our vet to rehabilitate our horse back to full fitness following injury. Now works to sustain optimal fitness as part of a routine program. Ciara shows a real interest in her work and her clients. Thoroughly recommend.

Ciara has been amazing with our 12 year old dog who was suffering from sporadic incontinence and weak hips. She worked with our vet to make sure it was safe first. First treatment had instant results, no accidents since! She has also given us exercises to do at home and didn't push to book extra appointments if they are not needed. Cant recommend her highly enough, wish she did people too! Will definitely use her again. Big thank you from Tia and all of us.

Ciara was recommended by my vets after I found out my 9 month old puppy Mabel was diagnosed with hip dysplasia. They suggested to start physio to help build up her muscles. Ciara has been fantastic! Mabel has improved so much - with Ciara’s help she’s built up some really good muscle - you can really see the difference. Mabel is always relaxed and happy during physio and loves seeing Ciara. Mabel is coming on really well with Ciara’s guidance and help - it’s made such a difference!

Ciara came to help me and my horses recently and I cannot recommend her enough! Really interesting analysis of all of us and helped us massively! Also gave us exercises to do (for the humans and horses) to keep us running smoothly in between treatments. Can’t recommend her enough ☺️ -Imogen W
My dog had problems with unexplained, intermittent hind leg lameness, the vet suggested x-rays but I opted to try physiotherapy first. Ciara was amazing, doing a very detailed consultation and identifying that has problem was his back and muscle stiffness. Her treatments and the physio homework have made a massive difference to his life and, when he's not climbing on his wobble cushions to demand treats, he's bouncing around like a puppy again.
Ciara came out on an emergency appointment to treat my horse after some stiffness and muscle pain, she was brilliant! Really helpful, friendly and thorough and my normally quite cross horse seemed very settled and relaxed with her whilst being treated. I definitely recommended and we look forward to seeing her again soon. Thanks Ciara!

My dog Alfie has had a few episodes of lameness/back pain.Since the vet recommended Ciara for physio he greatly improved after a couple of treatments so anytime he gets stiff or lame he has a treatment and it helps, often for a few months. Alfie has recently had a cruciate ligament op and again has had a few treatments to help his leg to recover. Alfie looks forward to his treatments and gets on his rug ready for Ciara to work on him and soon relaxes.

Ciara Glaisher has been working with Henry for a few weeks now and the difference is amazing! Henry has regained mobility and strength in her back legs. Can highly recommend.
