Equestrian Physiotherapy
Riding is a high-performance sport that demands precision, symmetry, and strength. Whether you're a competitive rider or a recreational enthusiast, optimal physical condition is essential for achieving your goals and preventing injuries.
As a Registered Physiotherapist specializing in equestrian athletes, I take a comprehensive approach to care. I assess your biomechanics, muscle imbalances, and movement patterns to create a personalized plan that enhances your riding, prevents injuries, and keeps you pain-free. My expertise in rider physiology allows me to identify areas of tension, weakness, or asymmetry that may be impacting your performance.

Equine Physio
Just like riders, horses benefit from targeted physio to enhance performance, prevent injuries, and support recovery. Equine athletes require a unique approach to care, one that addresses their specific needs and promotes optimal movement and function.
Whether your equine athlete is rehabbing from an injury, struggling with stiffness, or needs a performance tune-up, physio can help keep them moving strong, sound, and pain-free. By identifying and addressing underlying issues, we can work together to optimize your horse's performance and overall well-being.
At B Diamond Physio, I use a combination of hands-on therapy, movement analysis, and specialized treatment techniques to restore balance, mobility, and function. My approach is tailored to each horse's individual needs, ensuring that they receive the most effective care possible.
