Lea holds a certified degree in "Veterinary Physiotherapy BSc (Hons)", which she acquired at the Harper Adams University in Newport. She has previously qualified and worked as an Operational Department Practitioner (ODP) in the human medical field in Germany. The knowledge she acquired during her years as an ODP gives her a unique insight and understanding of the biomechanics of all intra-articular joint mechanics and general musculoskeletal structures when working with horses.
Lea is a listed CAT 1 member of the "National Association of Veterinary Physiotherapists (NAVP)" and a FEI PET (Permitted Equine Therapist).
The NAVP does only accept and list members with a a valid qualification and suitable insurance. Lea has to attend regular CPD seminars and courses to ensure that her work and knowledge is always up-to-date.
Lea has been working with a range of different horses for over 25 years, including some veterinary work abroad (Germany) and a 6 months placement at a known UK semen collection facility (Stallion AI - Twemlows). She is very confident but polite and knows how to handle even the most nervous or sceptical horses.
Currently Lea is working with horses competing in nearly all disciplines, including eventing, dressage, showing, mounted games and western equine athletes.
LTE Equine aims to deliver outstanding Veterinary Physiotherapy Services, with the goal to maintain and improve the mental and physical well-being of performance and leisure horses. Services include manual therapies (massage, myofascial release techniques, stretching regimes), electrotherapy options suitable for horses (Trimbio H-Wave, TENS, Thermal Therapy, Therapeutic Ultrasound), a tailored home exercise programme and advise regarding equine rehabilitation, nutrition and individual physiological needs.

Lea Edwards
Welcome to LTE Equine Veterinary Physiotherapy
​
My name is Lea and I am the founder and owner of LTE Equine. I am a fully qualified and insured BSc (Hons) Veterinary Physiotherapist and registered with the NAVP (National Association of Veterinary Physiotherapists).
​
I was born and brought up in Northern Germany before I moved to the UK in 2013 to live with my husband Alex. Alex and I live in the beautiful Shropshire country side, together with two beautiful daughters, our whippet Twiggy and our eight horses.
​
Horses have been a part of my life for over 22 years. I have always felt a special connection to horses. In my life I had the honour to care for and ride a range of horses, varying in breed, age, gender and discipline. I believe that every horse deserves to be treated with the upmost respect, from the smallest ponyclub pony to the olympic eventer - They are all equally special to me!
