About the Program:
Every rider has asymmetries and functional deficits that can negatively impact our horses and our performance. This program is designed to identify any issues in motion, strength, posture, or balance that may be negatively affecting rider performance, effectiveness, safety, and confidence. The initial assessment will include recommendations to address physical deficits and fitness concerns to help you meet your riding goals. In this unique fitness-based program, you will work with a licensed Physical Therapist who is not only an expert in human motion and function but also an equestrian who has specialized training in this area.
Who This Program is Designed For:
- Equestrians from any discipline
- Riders returning to the sport
- Senior riders looking to maximize performance and safety
- Professionals looking to enhance their performance
