Our Approach

At AB Physio 4 Horse and Rider, our approach to physiotherapy is comprehensive and tailored to the unique needs of each horse and rider. We understand that a horse and rider form a partnership, and it’s crucial that both are in optimal health for successful performance. Our team is trained in a variety of techniques that are designed to address the needs of both equine athletes and human riders, providing care that enhances performance, promotes recovery, and reduces the risk of injury.

For horses, we specialize in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions that are common in equine athletes, such as muscle tightness, joint stiffness, and lameness. We provide treatments like manual therapy, stretching, joint mobilizations, and targeted exercises that help improve flexibility, strength, and overall mobility.

For riders, our approach includes assessing posture, movement patterns, and biomechanics to address issues such as back pain, hip pain, and shoulder discomfort. We provide rehabilitation programs, manual therapy, and exercises designed to restore balance and function, ultimately improving the rider’s ability to perform at their best.

Some of the techniques we use in our clinic include:

• Manual Therapy: Both for horses and riders, we use hands-on techniques to improve joint mobility, release muscle tension, and increase flexibility. This can help relieve pain and improve overall movement efficiency.
• Exercise Therapy: We develop tailored exercise programs for both horse and rider to strengthen key muscle groups, improve flexibility, and prevent injury. These exercises are customized to address any specific weaknesses or imbalances that may be contributing to pain or dysfunction.
• Stretching: For both horses and riders, stretching exercises are an important part of maintaining flexibility and mobility. We help develop stretching routines that reduce muscle tension, improve range of motion, and enhance overall performance.
• Posture and Alignment: For riders, we focus on improving posture and alignment, which can alleviate pain and improve riding posture. For horses, we assess and address any postural imbalances that could be affecting performance.
• Sports Injury Rehabilitation: For both horses and riders, we provide rehabilitation programs to recover from injuries, reduce pain, and restore mobility. These programs include targeted exercises, stretches, and manual therapies designed to promote healing and prevent re-injury.
