Dynamic Rider & Equine Sports Therapy

Soft tissue therapy can help general muscle mobility and reduce muscle pain as well as preventing regular injuries, by correcting problems caused by repetitive and strenuous physical activity and trauma. The Hub practitioners will help alleviate fascial and muscular tension caused by many factors in our lives, both on and off the horses, including stress and poor posture, and the horses factors, including sporting discipline requirements. Chronic problems seen in riders frequently such as pain in the neck, shoulder, back, hip, knee, and leg ,or repetitive strain injuries can all benefit from regular soft tissue management. Spors Therapy and Fascial Manipulation can also break down and remodel existing scar tissue. Our highly trained therapists are able to help with a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, caused by regular riding or physical activity using a combination of treatments and stretching and strengthening programmes.

A Soft Tissue Therapist would be very suited to you if you or your horses suffer from or are in need of any of the following: 

 

General Sports injuries

Muscular spasm

General stiffness and tension

Ligament or tendon sprains 


From working in international rugby, where it is compulsory for premiership players to have daily treatment for maintenance, Dee feels this is the keyword for horses and riders. Prevention is always better than cure and with a horses bodyweight being comprised of 60% muscle and a riders tremendous impact on the horse. Particularly at international level, maintenance and always looking at areas to improve is key. 

At The Hub we provide personalised injury, posture, and pain management guidance for your specific sporting needs.

Through a mixture of treatment techniques including fascial release, sports massage, kinesiology taping, dry needling and Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation we aim to get you out of pain and allow you to regain strength, improve flexibility and mobility and develop good physical awareness.

We only use the highest quality and ethical products.

 

Songbird Wax is used amongst all the best sporting teams in the world, through a unique blend of beeswax (or beeswax free for their vegan wax alternatives) and 100% natural ingredients. Songbird waxes provide a supreme experience both for the therapist and the client. We also love that there is 100% Vegan wax options and they come in recyclable and compostable Eco Packs. Something were super passionate about here at The Hub.

RockTape is superb for helping riders become more aware of their posture and support areas of injury. Used by leading athletes in sport, RockTape is seen in sport often due to its numerous uses for supportive movement. 

We also know that no two patients are the same. So, all of our treatments are tailored to you, your specific body type, sporting discipline and needs.

Our testimonials

Sharon Hunt

Olympian and International Event Rider
“I have been lucky enough to use many top physio’s during my years on the World Class Programme and at team championships and throughout my career so far. I was seriously impressed when meeting Dee as she has huge attention and a rare gift at instantly recognising what we need as riders and for our horses. She has made a huge difference after just a few treatments”

Astier Nicolas

International Event Rider - Rio 2016 Gold and Silver Olympic Medalist - Team France
“Dee has been working with me and my horses for many years now and has traveled with me to many international competitions. All my horses have such different temperaments and have to be handled very differently and Dee works with them as individuals. Dee also treats me and I feel a lot better afterwards as riding so many can make the body sore. I trust her with my horses and recommend her highly.”
