Often in my professional activity I have found myself having to build, modify or even invent more effective or efficient tools than those available on the market at that time, for example:
MY VALUES
Every day I meet professionals such as Farriers, Veterinarians, Riders, Coaches, Osteopaths, and horse breeders, athletes of the most varied equestrian sports or simple owners who love their horse in the broadest sense of the term, I always try to transmit and share with them the the importance of having the values underlying my profession. even if we are dealing with physiotherapists, doctors, osteopaths, trainers of athletes of the most varied sports disciplines or simple patients the approach does not change.
I meet many farriers, vets, riders, coaches, osteopaths, and owners of horses in various sports or simple horse lovers in the broadest sense of the term, with whom I share consultations on laminitis or other pathologies of the horse’s foot or on the improvement of performance for vascular problems of the horse’s foot, as well as training and information events and I try to convey to them the importance of having the values at the base of my profession. I am a doctor who eschews so-called “Degenerative” therapies such as Cortisone infiltrations and even escapes indirect “Regenerative” ones such as acupuncture or stem cell or PRP infiltrations but I rather prefer “direct regenerative” therapies that are repairing the tissue, avoiding scarring where possible, favoring instead the regeneration and repair of the tissue “ad integrum”.
I tend to relativize the simple clinical symptoms and pain that can often be misleading such as in the case of Coriumosis which can be prevented, but not cured if already completed and obviously cannot be cured. It is our values that move us every day and the more the values are consistent with ourselves, the greater the satisfaction you will receive from your life and from the work you are passionate about.
In my daily life, in my work, in relationships, in every moment of my life I apply this series of values hoping that they can be a source of inspiration for you too I like to be and give the best of myself to work with dedication and fun in the beauty of the horse and its environment, always keeping my feet on the ground.
