Ridden assessment & training

Our individual riding assessments and training sessions are conducted by an Equi-Motion physiotherapist.
​
In these sessions we assess and help to correct your position and alignment in the saddle. With our in-depth knowledge of the biomechanics of riding, we use postural cues and mounted exercises to help improve your riding. This is a training session that focuses on the rider, however we typically find that by improving your posture and seat, we see an improvement in both horse and rider performance.

If you are interested in obtaining a more detailed analysis of your movement patterns in the saddle, these sessions can also include the use of high-speed video analysis and feedback. To learn more about our video analysis, click here.

off-horse screening & assessment

It is often imperative to assess a rider out of the saddle in order to fully assess movement, strength and mobility. If you are a rider who identifies with any of the following, you may benefit from a screening assessment.
​

• One of your stirrups is longer than the other
• You perform better on one rein than the other
• Your horse has back pain
• Your horse falls in/out on one rein
• You have difficulty picking up or maintaining one canter lead
• You often lose one stirrup

We tailor our off-horse screenings to suit each individual. Packages can include:

• A detailed report outlining all assessment findings
• Exercise prescription, provided as an online/app program with videos, allowing you to access your program anywhere and at anytime
• Physiotherapy intervention
