1:1 Pilates available throughout the week £40 per session working on specific needs and working on rehabilitation
Small group pilates available on request. Please get in contact with your needs and we will find the right session for you, whether its a one off or a regular slot.
Equine Sports Massage Therapy
Just like any human athlete horses also get tight muscles which then have a knock on effect to pain and performance. By releasing these muscles and acknowledging where tension is present we can help prevent further injuries and improve performance.
Like human therapy we also look at how we can help to improve the horse going forwards with suggestions on stretching and exercises both ridden and in-hand.
Sessions are priced at £50 per session (occasionally extra travel costs may need to be added).
Sports Massage & Injury Rehabilitation
Whether you have a new acute injury or chronic pain, assessment and treatment is your first routine to recovery.
Deep tissue sports massage combined with a stretching and rehabilitation programme will get you on your way!
Please get in touch to discuss your needs and we will get you back on your way to performing at your best and being pain free!
Sessions are priced at £45 and available throughout the week.
Horse and Rider Biomechanics
We spend a lot of time looking at the horse in isolation and the rider the insolation. As therapists it is great to see them both together and work out why certain problems are presenting on either horse or rider and how we can help that.
These sessions include assessment of horse and rider individually and together creating feedback on where improvements can be made on symmetry, muscle tone and release. To help improve performance and reduce pain.
Sessions normally last about 60-75mins and are priced at £70.
Gait Analysis
Sometimes it is the way we are walking or running which is causing our pain and developing asymmetries which result in injury.
By looking a the way we are moving we can look at how that can be improved, whether that is through exercises to strengthen certain muscle groups or suggestions for the correct trainers or shoes.
Sessions normally last 30-45mins and are priced at £35.

FOR EQUINE THERAPY APPOINTMENTS HOW FAR DO YOU TRAVEL?
Due to the price of fuel and the extra time it takes for me to travel between equine clients I stay within a small area. From my base at South Tawton my travel area reaches to Exeter, Chulmleigh, Launceston, Tavistock and Moretonhampstead. If you aren’t sure if you are within those areas please get in touch.
