Human / Rider Physiotherapy

Human / Rider Physiotherapy

At Williams Vet Physio we are able to offer physiotherapy for both riders and non-riders.


We offer a number of different options to suit your individual needs, whether that be assessing you ridden or un-mounted. In addition to this we also offer rider biomechanics and physiotherapy assessments. Remember BALANCED RIDER = BALANCED HORSE and we are delighted that we can treat you both to help the complete partnership.


Horse & Rider Services:

1. Rider Biomechanics and Physio assessment with exercises for in and out of the saddle - 1hr
2. The same as option 1 with the addition of an unmounted rider physio hands on treatment - 90mins
3. Unmounted Physio Assessment with Treatment - 45mins

Option 1:
Rider Biomechanics Assessments are designed to evaluate you as a rider, assessing your position and posture to identify areas of tightness, weakness, instability or asymmetry which may be limiting your effectiveness in the saddle.

We allow time in the sessions for you to practice the corrections, using aids such as taping, activation techniques, bands or franklin balls.
Following the session you will be given a brief report outlining the findings and detailing the corrections that should make to your position and posture when riding, including a list of non-mounted exercises to work on those areas.

Option 2:
Option 1 plus hands on treatment. This is deisgned to decrease areas of tension or tightness identified using techniques such as:
* Massage techniques
* Joint Mobilisations
* Stretching

Option 3:
Unmounted assessment assessing your position and posture to identify areas of tightness, weakness, instability or asymmetry which may be limiting your effectiveness in the saddle. Followed by a hands on treatment to release any identified areas of tension or discomfort.


We also run regular clinics at indoor venues so please keep an eye on our Facebook page for details.
