Angela Lemanis is a passionate advocate for horse health, wellbeing and welfare. She holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Equine Osteopathy from Animal Osteopathy International (UK); a Diploma in Equine Myofunctional Therapy from the National College of Traditional Medicine (Australia); and a Certificate in Photonic Therapy from Equestricare (Australia). She is a practitioner member of the Worldwide Alliance of Equine Osteopaths and the Association of Animal Osteopaths; and is President of the Equine Therapies Association of Australia.
With over a decade of hands-on experience, Angela has honed her skills to help horses achieve optimal health, functionality, mobility and vitality – all with a focus on the addressing the 'whole horse' and honouring the interconnectedness of physical, physiological and psychological aspects of equine health. By honouring a horse's biology, through an osteopathic approach to treatment coupled with appropriate nutrition, appropriate movement, a supportive environment, and a regulated nervous system, we can address and help prevent many of the chronic issues that have become far too common today.
Her work is guided by the osteopathic principles, recognising the body as a unified system capable of self-healing and self-regulation if the internal and external environments are supportive; that structure and function are reciprocally inter-related; that all fluids within the body should flow optimally; and that to treat rationally, all of these principles have to be understood and considered. The core of her work is identifying and removing the influencing factors that detract from 'health'. By removing hindrances that are preventing the horse's ability to self-heal and self-regulate, and focusing on fostering the innate health within, the horse's care is managed holistically, moving beyond just addressing the presenting symptoms. This approach is founded on a deep understanding of equine anatomy, biomechanics, physiology, neurology, pathology, psychology and behaviour, combined with a thorough understanding of the specific demands placed on each horse's body and their chosen discipline. Angela's expertise lies in addressing complex cases and working across a spectrum of equine patients – from high-performance competitors across many different disciplines to beloved paddock companions and young horses to ensure they are set up well for the future. Angela is committed to supporting horse owners by creating a safe and supportive space where questions are welcomed without judgement, and knowledge is shared so that owners can be empowered and informed partners in their horse's care. She is also a strong advocate for the continual improvement of horse care and management, and has served as a mentor for aspiring animal osteopathy students.
So, if you have any questions for Angela regarding equine osteopathy as a modality; how it may differ from other modalities; how to get started in equine osteopathy; or other questions regarding working as an equine functional therapist, please send them through and these will be answered!
