  A McTimoney Animal Practitioner treats musculoskeletal conditions by gently manipulating misaligned joints throughout the whole body, paying particular attention to the spine and pelvis, aiming to restore and maintain health, soundness and performance. Any animal can be treated, but horses and dogs tend to make up the majority of a practitioner's caseload.
