About
EQ Active is a web and mobile software platform designed specifically for equine physiotherapists, equestrian rehabilitation practitioners, and allied health professionals who work with horses, riders, and dogs. Founded by equine and human physiotherapists with over 35 years of combined clinical experience, the platform addresses the real-world frustrations of managing rehabilitation programs across multiple species using disconnected tools. At its core, EQ Active provides a comprehensive, research-backed exercise library covering equine, rider, and canine movements. Using the intelligent search and program builder, practitioners can create fully customised exercise programs from scratch or adapt pre-built condition-specific templates in just a few clicks — eliminating the need for hand-drawn figures, paper handouts, or scattered email threads. Clients receive their programs through a dedicated mobile app, where they can review exercises, track progress, and stay engaged between appointments. This built-in client engagement layer reduces the classic 'I forgot how to do the exercise' problem and drives better rehabilitation outcomes. Via a partnership with Wibbi, practitioners can optionally extend their library with additional human and canine modules, making EQ Active a true single-platform solution regardless of clinical focus. A free trial is available, with subscription plans designed for solo practitioners and growing rehabilitation businesses.

Use Cases
- An equine physiotherapist creating a post-surgery rehabilitation program for a horse and emailing it to the owner in under five minutes after a clinic visit.
- An equestrian performance coach designing a combined conditioning program for a horse-and-rider pair, managing both from a single platform.
- A veterinary physiotherapist running a multi-species practice who needs one tool to handle horse, dog, and human rider rehab programs without switching between apps.
- A solo equine rehab practitioner reducing administrative overhead by using condition-specific templates to batch-create programs for common diagnoses.
- A rehabilitation business improving client retention and outcome tracking by delivering branded digital exercise programs through the client-facing mobile app.
Pros
- Massive Time Savings: Replaces hours of manual program creation with a few clicks, freeing up practitioners to focus on clinical work rather than admin.
- True Multi-Species, Single Platform: Covers horses, riders, and dogs within one subscription, eliminating the need to juggle multiple apps or platforms.
- Built by Practitioners, for Practitioners: The library and workflows are grounded in real clinical experience and current research, making the content immediately relevant and trustworthy.
- Improved Client Compliance: The client-facing app and exercise tracking features reduce the 'I forgot how to do that' problem, leading to better rehabilitation outcomes.
Cons
- Highly Niche Audience: The platform is purpose-built for equine and equestrian rehab professionals, making it unsuitable for general physiotherapy or broader healthcare practices.
- Ongoing Subscription Cost: As a SaaS platform, practitioners incur a recurring subscription fee, which may be a consideration for solo practitioners or those with small caseloads.
- Limited AI-Driven Automation: Program building relies on practitioner input and template customisation rather than AI-generated recommendations or adaptive rehab pathways.
