Osteopath
Laura Lieknina
Hi, I am Laura
From a young age, my passion for horses and nature has guided my journey towards a holistic approach to horse well-being. My veterinary studies in Latvia, combined with extensive training abroad in Portugal, Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands, have shaped my comprehensive approach to horse care. I continually expand my knowledge in other related fields such as holistic nutrition, Chinese medicine, barefoot trimming, kinetaping, soft tissue techniques and so on. With a focus on osteopathy, I emphasize natural and preventative care, reflecting my commitment to lifelong learning and ensuring the ongoing growth and excellence in equine well-being.

Why Osteopathy ?
It can help with
Pain Relief
By releasing tension and improving joint mobility, osteopathic treatment can alleviate pain associated with musculoskeletal conditions such as arthritis, back pain, and soft tissue injuries.
Performance Enhancement
Optimal biomechanics are essential for peak performance in athletic horses. Osteopathy can help enhance flexibility, coordination, and efficiency of movement, leading to improved agility, responsiveness, and stamina.
Preventive Care
Regular osteopathic sessions can help identify and address minor imbalances or asymmetries before they escalate into more significant problems, thereby reducing the risk of injuries and maintaining overall wellness.
A Holistic Approach
Equine osteopathy is a manual technique that goes beyond conventional chiropractic care. Its aim is to restore homeostasis in the horse’s body by addressing restrictions in joints, muscles, ligaments, and organs.
Behavioral issues
In the event of behavioral problems, in order to release tension and also to verify that these issues aren’t related to a particular health problem.
Rehabilitation
Following injury or surgery, osteopathic therapy can support the horse’s recovery process by promoting tissue healing, reducing scar tissue formation, and preventing compensatory issues.
Happy clients
“I always believe that little things can help solve big issues.
My friend recommended me to try Laura when I was at the show in Sharjah. I love to try out new things so we made an appointment. My horses loved the process and I’m grateful we did it because there are small things that made my horses happier. We changed the bridle for one horse because he had reaction on a cheekbone, and he got so much better to ride and so much happier! Also some “easy to get” natural products that are so affordable and better than lots of supplements, that makes horses look and feel amazing! I right away invited Laura home for some other horses we have, it’s very interesting to see how I can help them in the daily life without any effort and just playing. I love it and I wish for more people to find out about their horses some ways to make them happy !”
