Why vet physio isn’t just for injured or sick dogs and horse's but for the fit and healthy ones too!

Ergh why is my horse lame?! It’s the age old question isn’t it. You know the saying “if you look at it long enough you’ll find a lameness” well it’s kinda the same with trying to find out why right?
