After Dee started working with many women at the top of their sport both during and after pregnancy and helping riders, particularly with pelvic floor exercises, female health became of great interest and she felt it was an area firstly, not spoken about enough on a general basis in equestrian sport, but something that needed to be available to all female riders, mums or not.
A weak pelvic floor is less effective at supporting the pelvic organs and therefore due to the very nature of our sport requiring sitting in a saddle and absorbing a horses movement through the pelvis, it is a difficult weakness for a rider to have. Our highly trained women’s health physiotherapist helps a variety of female riders at all levels and at any stage of your life with the strictest confidentiality. Through advice, specific exercises, and sometimes manual therapy, they will be able to assess symptoms, and develop a clear and comfortable treatment plan tailored specifically for you.
Please feel free to call directly and know that client confidentiality is of the highest importance to us.
At The Hub we love supporting our riders but also supporting each other and working as a team to support you. However we do know, there’s somethings we just don’t like sharing and that’s absolutely fine.
Contact us to see our women health physiotherapist for any of the following symptoms:
Painful or tight scar tissue
Vaginal Pain
Pelvic Pain
Lack of pelvic strength when riding
Increased Urinary Frequency
Urinary or Bowel Incontinence
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
This is an aspect of The Hub we are very keen to grow so for those interested please contact Dee directly so she can arrange a day with the expert in this field.

“Working with horses, teaching and training – being on your feet all day and staying energetic and focused requires being fit and well. I also take part in Triathlons to support my riding fitness. Dee has been part of my support team to keep me fit, strong, supple and functioning to the best of my ability. I love my regular visits and my body feels the immediate benefit too. This allows me to continue with my training, stay fit, healthy and injury free. I have Dee to thank for this..”

“My sessions with Dee always leave me walking away feeling great! She is not only knowledgeable and professional, but friendly & always searching for ways to help with recovery or maintain correct functional movement. She helped me a HUGE amount when I suffered a back injury from a fall from a young horse and my riding position has also seen improvements!
Not only do I receive regular sessions from Dee, but my horse loves his too and feels so relax afterwards! I highly recommend Dee for any human or equine sports therapy related issues and can’t wait for my next session!”
