Since 2015, I've worked in Moscow, Russia, with horses of all levels and disciplines, primarily with professional riders, including the Russian national dressage, eventing and endurance teams, trotting racers, working alongside riders and coaches on training programmes built to develop muscle and stamina, prevent injury and support steady progress.

Being the first internationally certified equine massage therapist in Russia, I've spoken at numerous industry events on topics including musculoskeletal therapy and ridden-horse pain behaviour evaluation, and created an interactive online equine anatomy course for owners that's built a strong reputation among clients, colleagues and vets. I am a member of Internationl Association of Animal Massage Therapists since 2016 and FEI Permitted Equine Therapist since 2020.

Since relocating to England, I've expanded into canine physiotherapy and have completed my postgraduate studies in Veterinary Physiotherapy at Anglia Ruskin University, which qualifies me to practise fully across both species in the UK. I'm currently in my Master's research year, working towards the full MSc. I am fully insured and a member of the National Association of Veterinary Physiotherapists and I am on the Animal Health Professions' Register.

I'm straightforward and I keep things clear: I'll tell you what I find and all the options around it, not just what's easy to hear. I work flexibly around what each case needs, plans can be adjusted as we go, but I only do what's necessary to get the right outcome. I don't waste my time or yours on anything beyond that, and I hold myself to a high standard on every visit.

Veterinary physiotherapy is not a substitute for veterinary diagnosis or treatment. It is a complementary, evidence-based therapy that supports recovery alongside veterinary care — most commonly following surgery, injury, or diagnosis of an orthopaedic or neurological condition. Physiotherapy input requires veterinary referral/consent and works in partnership with your vet's treatment plan.

Below are examples of veterinary conditions where physiotherapy can be used as part of the rehabilitation pathway
