Sports Physiotherapy for Riders:

Sports Physiotherapists play an integral role in every sport and most professional athletes journey. They have a thorough understanding of biomechanics and the way the body works. Through comprehensive assessment, Sports Physios determine areas of weakness or dysfunction and prescribe tailored management programs to remedy flagged issues, leading to enhanced physical performance.

Zoe understands the demands of equestrian sports, has undergraduate and masters degree qualifications and >10 years experience treating and diagnosing riding related musculoskeletal conditions and sporting injuries.

Zoe’s passion in life is helping riders achieve their goals by optimising their physical function. She would love to be part of your team. They say ‘team work, makes the dream work!’.
