Riding Performance Physiotherapy

Service Description

Riding Performance Physiotherapy is a one-hour, rider-specific session that directly links how you ride with how your body functions. The session begins with a 10-minute riding assessment led by Chris, followed by a 40-minute physiotherapy session with James from Birchwood Physiotherapy, combining high-level coaching insight with clinical expertise in one seamless appointment. During the riding assessment, Chris and James observe how you move in the saddle, identifying asymmetries, restrictions, and movement patterns that may be limiting performance or contributing to discomfort. These findings immediately inform the physiotherapy session, where James provides hands-on treatment, targeted exercises, and practical advice tailored specifically to riding. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, you receive a joined-up assessment and treatment plan based on how you actually ride. A rider’s body directly influences the horse beneath them-unaddressed imbalance, restriction, or pain in the rider can place unnecessary strain on the horse. If you care for your horse’s body, it’s just as important to care for your own.
