River Meadow Farm


River Meadow Farm is owned and managed by Dr. Michael Stewart, a practicing equine veterinarian since 1985, and his wife Lisa. A team of equine professionals assist in the care of all horses at our facility.

Staff
River Meadow Farm staff is trained to assist your canine and horses.

Dr. Michael Stewart, DVM, 1984, Graduate of Auburn University Vet School has worked with lameness and rehabilitation on horses through his race track vet practice, and has been applying many of the same principals to his canine rehabilitation since 1997 when he set up the rehabilitation center in Windsor.

Dr. Stewart's philosophy on Rehabilitation
After surgery or injury, all animals (people included), limit the use of the afflicted joint or area, this creates weakness and stiffness. Rehabilitation strengthens muscles, increases the range of motion and promotes the healing of injured tissues.

A normally fit individual will support their weight with their muscles. Bones and joints create the framework for the muscles to function. Due to age and/or injury weaknesses becomes a problem. Locations of the body become weak and more of ones' weight is placed on the bones and joints, thus creating or accelerating arthritis and joint pain. Rehabilitation and hydrotherapy reverse this trend until strength is regained.
