Rider asymmetries can definitely play a huge part in saddlefitting issues, for example saddle slip, which is why we also assess the rider during our saddlefitting assessment, and refer them to a physio if needed 🦄😊🐎 #Repost @equimotion_au • • • • • • A very important part of an equine physiotherapy consultation includes assessing the rider. We often talk about equestrian being the sport of the ultimate 6-legged athlete!⁣ ⁣ Whilst we are all asymmetrical to an extent (with some more than others), it’s important to consider if there are rider asymmetries which may be impacting negatively on the horse. Too often riders are quick to dismiss their own injuries or issues, however if we are able to improve rider symmetry, will we also improve horse performance? ⁣ ⁣ #equimotion #equinephysio #equinephysiotherapy #riderphysiotherapy #equestrianphysiotherapy #equestrian #riderperformance #horseperformance #forthegoodofthehorse #circleofcare #saddlefitting #saddlefitter
