About Calli

QUALIFIED - INSURED - REGULATED

BSc (Hons) Veterinary Physiotherapist, MIRVAP (VP), Advanced Certified INDIBA Practitioner, Accredited Kinesiology Tape and Fascial Edge Tool Practitioner

With over 20 years of equine experience, Calli has been passionate about equine health and wellbeing from a young age. Her riding career began at the age of 6 with Pony Club, and continues on with the same passion she held as a child, training a number of horses up to PSG to fulfil her dressage passion. Calli currently competes her imported PRE gelding called Meji at BD Medium level and MCI competitions.

Prior to graduating from her Veterinary Physiotherapy degree, Calli began Vet Physio Phyle as an Instagram page in order to document her journey to becoming a qualified veterinary physiotherapist. Following rapid growth, Vet Physio Phyle is now an established social media and blog platform which aims to provide accessible information about equine musculoskeletal health and compassionate training to horse owners.

Above all, Calli’s main aim of practice is to simply make horses happy; through providing premium treatment modalities and approaches in addition to targeting the psychological aspect of rehabilitation. Utterly inspired by her horse Meji who required intensive rehabilitation following his importation from Spain in 2019.

“I am passionate about promoting musculoskeletal health through a multimodal approach to treatment. I believe that owner communication, animal mentality and working as part of a wider professional team is fundamental for the most effective rehabilitation.”
