Physiotherapy for horse riders/equestrians

As Petra is a human as well as an equine physiotherapist, her aim is to focus on the riders, their horses and how they work together.

This is made up of a two-fold plan:

Rider-Horse Posture Clinics
Each rider on his/her horse and assess and correct posture by means of correct core engagement. This helps to make horse and rider work in balance together.
