Megan Uren Equine Therapy

Megan Uren is not only an accomplished young open show jumper but also studied with Beth Shaw Equine Therapy in 2011.

Her personal riding and horse management experience coupled with being mentored by this highly in demand KwaZulu Natal therapist allows Megan to now offer treatments for a variety of equine ailments.

Working in unison with your vet and other role players – Megan utilises a variety of tools (which she is specially trained to use) to offer lame and injured horses non evasive rehabilitation treatments as well as offer conditioning treatments to the equine athlete.

Some of these tools include:

The Equi-Librium blanket : Great to warm up muscles and loosen muscles of stiff competition horses.

Winks Greene Transeva (also known as a faradic machine): The Transeva is a fantastic machine which is able to pinpoint the location of an injury and then work around it. Once the problem area is identified it sends low-voltage electrical impulses through a set of electrodes to the damaged area, increasing the blood flow to the injured muscles and neighbouring area. Waste tissue products are rapidly cleared away, muscle tone is restored and the swelling decreases. Benefits of this treatment include the prevention of scar tissue forming while restoring elasticity and contractibility. It also aids in enhancing flexibility, suppleness and performance.

Equi-Librium Laser: This can be utilised for a variety of problems including chronic pain management, severe wound management and healing, to reduce swellings, assist in the healing of tendons and ligaments as well as reducing pain in joints. The laser is also remarkable in aiding healing post operations.

A brand new laser tool: Used for chronic injuries and is extremely specific. Utilising this laser one is able to pinpoint and target a small area. It has shown remarkable results with wound healing and tendon healing.

Megan’s treatments benefit all equestrian disciplines, whether you compete at the highest level or simply want to help aid in the rehabilitation of your trusty hacking companion.

Her specialties include sporting injuries, cardiovascular and orthopaedic trauma.

Preventative treatments as well as Equi-Librium before and after competition sessions are also available. Megan is at all the major shows and able to treat on the grounds.
