Horse & rider
as one system

The unique dual qualification in both human and animal physiotherapy makes it possible to treat both the horse and the rider — understanding how stiffness or asymmetry in the rider creates a similar problem for the horse.

By addressing both partners together, treatment becomes more effective and lasting — improving not just individual health, but the harmony of the whole partnership.

01

Evidence-based treatment

All assessments and treatments are grounded in current physiotherapy science and best practice protocols.

02

Holistic partnership approach

Understanding the rider-horse relationship means treating the root cause, not just the symptom.

03

Communication & clarity

Instruction with emphasis on clear, respectful communication — for rider, horse, and practitioner alike.

04

Individual care plans

Every patient is unique. Treatment is always tailored to the individual's specific needs, history, and goals.

Who I treat

From four-legged athletes to their human partners — every patient receives a thorough assessment and an individualised treatment plan.

🐕

Dogs

All breeds & ages

Whether your dog is recovering from surgery, struggling with arthritis, or simply not moving as freely as before — physiotherapy can make a real difference. Treatment is gentle, evidence-based, and tailored to your dog.

Horses

Performance & leisure

Horses carry enormous physical demands. Physiotherapy addresses musculoskeletal problems, stiffness, and asymmetry — helping your horse move with more freedom, comfort, and willingness.

Riders

Athletes & enthusiasts

Riders are athletes. Stiffness, asymmetry, or pain in the rider directly affects the horse. Treating riders improves both their own wellbeing and the harmony of the horse-rider partnership.
