Hi, I’m Raquel an integrative biomechanical veterinarian with a passion for education. As a dedicated body worker, I've learned the importance of correct static and dynamic posture for a horses health and wellbeing. Join me for fun and exciting virtual classes in biomechanical assessment and management as well as online assessment and rehabilitation consultations.
MORE ABOUT ME“Dr Raquel Butler of Integrated Veterinary Therapeutics treating our beautiful girl Celeste. In addition to the treatment, Raquel showed Celeste (& me) a better way for her to move her body; postural awareness exercises and stretches.
At the end of the 90 minute session Celeste was moving markedly better, with more freedom and integrity in the way she held herself.
Sometimes what we think is a horse saying no, is really a horse saying "I physically can’t”. Learning to recognize the difference is an essential horsemanship skill.”
