ABOUT EQUIK9 OSTEOPATHY
EquiK9 Osteopathy offers holistic Equine and Canine Osteopathic care in Mallorca, with regular travel across the Balearic Islands and the Spanish Peninsula. Treatments are designed to support horses and dogs of all disciplines, ages, and activity levels—whether managing acute or chronic dysfunction or discomfort, improving performance, aiding rehabilitation, or maintaining long-term physical and mental soundness.
Using an integrative osteopathic approach, each session considers the whole animal: musculoskeletal structure, nervous system regulation, movement patterns, behaviour, workload, nutrition, and environment. By addressing the underlying causes of restriction rather than only symptoms, osteopathic treatment supports the animal's natural ability to rebalance, adapt, and heal.
EquiK9 Osteopathy is particularly well suited to:
Performance and sport horses and dogs
Horses and dogs in rehabilitation or post-injury recovery
Horses and dogs transitioning from high-demand careers
Preventative maintenance, regular bodywork care
And even holistic massage's to pamper your beloved animal in appreciation for all they give and do for you
Alongside Osteopathy for your horse and dog, EquiK9 Osteopathy offers complementary therapies including myofascial release, trigger point therapy, photobiomodulation (needle-free acupuncture), equine kinesiology taping, and nebuliser/inhaler therapy for respiratory support, performance optimisation, or to simply clean your horse's airways for optimal oxygen delivery. This combination allows treatments to be both varied and technically precise while benefitting the animal’s mental and emotional state.
The goal of every treatment is to restore balance, support homeostasis, and promote relaxed, efficient movement—helping horses and dogs feel more comfortable in their bodies and minds, and better able to perform to their required level, find connection to enhance learning, and enjoy their work, or their life as a beloved family pet.
My professional training includes Animal Osteopathy (Equine and Canine) through the London College of Animal Osteopathy (LCAO), Equine Anatomy and Equine Bodywork through Equinology Inc. with Debranne Pattillo (MEEBW), Equine Fascia and Trauma Release Therapy with Liza Kimble, Equine Trigger Point Therapy, Photobiomodulation (Acupuncture without needles), Equine Ethology (Horse Behaviour), and Tellington Touch.
Every single horse and dog that I work with takes up a space in my heart, so a heartfelt thank you for trusting your animal's well-being with me.

ABOUT EQUIK9 OSTEOPATHY
and OLIVIA HAMILTON
Equik9 Osteopathy is built on the foundational passion for improving the body and mind of every horse I am blessed to work with, whether it be a horse that has chronic or acute conditions that cause dysfunction, distress or discomfort to the horse, or if the horse is enjoying the benefits of a monthly preventative maintenance session or simply being treated with a "pamper session".
I have been a horse owner and rider my whole life, after being put on the back of a horse at 13 months old, and with my dad rescuing our first 17hh OTTB, Kaizer, for my sister and I off the back of the slaughterhouse truck, when I was just 4 years old and had been riding at the local club for a few months on recently retired OTTB's (with my feet in the stirrup wrapped up leathers as my little legs were still too short!). These nutty little thoroughbreds became a part of my blood and I continued to take on retired racehorses throughout my teenage and adult life to retrain them for showjumping if suitable or as general riding horses if they weren't keen on the pressures of competing or couldn't physically compete anymore, sometimes I'd be offered a horse, as its last resort, that was deemed too dangerous it was going to be PTS.
Of course most thoroughbreds come out of racing with a list of issues in their body and mind, their nutrition, environment, and type of training leaves one with a horse not for the novice, or faint-hearted (typically... but there are exceptions to the rule). * Side note: I have nothing against racehorse trainers and racing yards, they typically do a phenomenal job and take great care of their athletes within the scope of the sports demands, but when an owner is not making money out of their horse (investment) anymore, trainers hands are tied in how much they can do for these horses.
I noticed how much quicker these special, quirky, horses rebalanced mentally and physically with regular Bodywork sessions (Osteopathy, Physiotherapy, and Massage) allowing them to come down from their previous high pressured life, work through and release their pain and start enjoying the training and environment of their new life. Once again I was bitten by a bug, not the horse bug this time, but by the Bodywork bug. I had already studied Equine Ethology (Horse Behaviour), and now started delving deep into the world of Equine Anatomy and Bodywork while learning under the master Debranne Pattillo (MEEBW) through Equinology Inc. with strict standards and high pass requirements this organisation ensures every horse under our care will always be in the best hands. I continued my education studying Myofascial Release Therapy with Liza Kimble, Trigger Point Therapy, and Photobiomodulation (Acupuncture without the needles), and dove head first into my Equine and Canine Osteopathy studies through the London College of Animal Osteopathy (LCAO).
EquiK9 Osteopathy also offers Equine Kinesio Taping, and Nebuliser / Inhaler Therapy to horses with respiratory conditions, or in high demand sport requiring clear airways for optimal performance, and for horses that need liquid medication that works more effectively and efficiently when inhaled to allow the horse to find relief or heal at a quicker rate.
On a final note, every single horse that I work with takes up a space in my heart, so my goal is to leave every horse healthier and more balanced physically and mentally, as a more relaxed body and mind has the ability to learn and move more correctly and with ease, and the horse can re-establish homeostasis allowing the body to do what it is designed to do... take good care of itself, with a little help from me... and you!
Thank you for trusting your horse's well-being with me.
