Pferdeosteopathie

DIPO Pferdeosteopathie – Birgit Rasch is a horse osteopathy practice in Lantershofen, Germany, offering holistic, hands-on care for horses. Birgit Rasch is a physiotherapist and naturopath with more than 22 years of professional experience, trained in equine osteopathy at the German Institute for Equine Osteopathy (DIPO) and in craniosacral therapy for horses. Her approach uses gentle manual techniques to identify and address restrictions in joints, muscles, fascia, tendons and the craniosacral system, and includes indirect treatment of internal organs.

The practice supports horses preventively, during acute difficulties and in rehabilitation. Common reasons for treatment include lameness, stiffness, resistance to riding aids, changes in posture or behavior, coordination problems, and recovery after injury or surgery. Each visit includes assessment through observation and palpation, followed by an individually tailored treatment, typically lasting about 60 minutes.

Owners can also receive practical exercises, guidance on riding, groundwork, tack and general health, with collaboration with veterinarians, farriers and saddle fitters when appropriate
