Equestrian sport depends on horse and rider moving as one unit. Alignment, strength and symmetry on both sides of the partnership matter.
Rider biomechanics
- 1-hour assessment — posture and alignment off the horse first
- Strength, flexibility, core stability and balance testing
- Ridden assessment available when helpful (movement with the horse, not a riding lesson)
- Practical plan you can share with your instructor
Common rider issues
- Sacro-iliac and pelvic pain
- Lower back pain from yard work or riding posture
- Neck and shoulder tension
- RSI, sprains and strains
Cross-site care
