Equine appointments are held at your own stables. Emma’s area is within a 15 mile radius of Smarden, near Ashford, Kent. She tries to book area days to keep the mileage costs down as low as possible for clients, as she splits the mileage costs between everyone seen in that yard/ area on that day.
EQUINE OSTEOPATHY
As an equine osteopath I take the time to try to understand my equine patients, and their unique combination of symptoms, medical history and their particular equine sports demands. This helps to make an accurate diagnosis of the causes of the pain or lack of function (rather than just addressing the site of the condition), and from that, to formulate a treatment plan that will aim to achieve the best outcome.
Human Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a system of assessing, diagnosing, treating and preventing a wide range of health problems. Osteopaths are commonly known for helping to treat neck pain, back pain, general aches and pains and postural problems in patients from a variety of ages and causes. For example: driving, work strain, minor musculoskeletal sports injuries etc.
Canine Osteopathy
Canine specialist osteopaths are commonly known for helping to treat neck pain, back pain, general aches and pains, postural and performance problems in dogs from a variety of ages and causes. For example: age associated stiffness, conformation related problems, canine sports performance issues and minor canine musculoskeletal sports injuries from agility/ working trials/ gun dog work etc
"Emma has been treating both myself and the horses at Sparrow Oast for many years. As a producer of dressage horses and fanatical about posture and balance of both horse and rider it is imperative that we work with like minded people. Emma has been called upon many times both for routine check ups and in emergency situations
and every time she has been very professional and knowledgeable in her treatment of each individual case, be it equine, dog or human.
As a keen horsewoman herself, Emma has an excellent understanding of how a horse should move whether it be an all round family pony to a top class competition horse. I would highly recommend Emma to anyone requiring Osteopathic treatment."
- Nicola Bell, Dressage Rider/Trainer at Sparrow Oast Livery & Training
FREQUENT
Questions
Still wondering about something?
What is osteopathy?
'Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of medical conditions. It works with the structure and function of the body, and is based on the principle that the well-being of an individual depends on the skeleton, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues functioning smoothly together.' [Reference: www.osteopathy.org.uk 2014]
Do I need my vet’s permission for you to treat my animal?
If your animal requires treatment for maintenance support or for competition enhancement, then you do not need to get your vets permission. However, if your animal is under veterinary treatment, then you do need to discuss with your vet, and myself, before booking for a treatment with myself can be completed. If I assess your animal and believe it needs veterinary assistance I will advise you to contact your vet for their expertise.
Do you go group appointments?
Yes I do group treatments at yards. By booking in with others at your yard you split the mileage charge amongst everyone seen in that yard/ area on that day, therefore, lowering the costs of your treatment
Do you do evening weekend appointments?
I can offer some evening appointments for humans and dogs at my clinic on request and I also work in my clinic on Sundays from 7am - 2pm for humans and dogs. Unfortunately I cannot offer any weekend appointments for Equine patients.
How long is the appointment?
Human and canine osteopathic treatments at my clinic are 30 mins per session. If needed, eg if a patient has multiple areas that need treatment, then a 1 hour treatment session can be booked by previous arrangement.
Equine appointments are approximately 30-45 mins depending on how complex the case and if extra testing is required eg flexion tests/ lunging etc. Horses are not commonly needed to be seen ridden, unless symptoms can only be seen and diagnosed whilst ridden.

ABOUT
Emma
Emma Boyd (married name; Emma van den Boomen) was born and raised in to a farming family, working closely with a variety of animals since childhood.
Her grandfather (former UK sheepdog trials champion) and her father first developed her knowledge of dogs as a young child when she observed them breeding and training working sheepdogs and working gun dogs.
Having ridden within the pony club since childhood, Emma went on as a teenager to compete in showjumping, working for and training with professional showjumpers.
After graduating she then focused on dressage, training and competing, with the help of professional dressage trainers, her own youngster through to Advanced Medium.
She has gone onto use this canine and equine training and experience to aid in her osteopathic treatment of dogs and horses from a variety of canine and equine disciplines.
It was after having osteopathic treatment herself as an early teenager for back problems caused by a severe fall from a horse whilst showjumping, and the horse later being diagnosed by an equine osteopath as suffering from a back problem which created the reason for the fall, that her interest in osteopathy began, realising the benefit for not only humans but animals too.
Having gained a BSc (Hons) Ost in 2003 at the European School of Osteopathy. She went on to complete a Post Graduate Certificate in Animal Osteopathy at the end of 2003 from the world renowned Osteopathic Centre for Animals, training with one of the world’s leading equine and canine osteopaths - Stuart McGregor.
