Rider Consult (Online)

Ever feel frustrated that your coach tells you the same thing over and over again but you can’t physically do what they’re asking?

Do you struggle to apply accurate aids? Is stiffness, weakness or crookedness impacting your rides? Do you struggle to sit to the trot? Do you experience pain when you ride?

These are some of the reasons you may consider booking an appointment in person (where possible) or remotely today.

As with other sports, equestrian athletes benefit from a Sports Physiotherapist being part of their team. Sports Physiotherapists have completed 6+ years university training to be highly skilled in assessing your physical impairments impacting your performance.

What does an online consultation involve:

  1. Completion of a Questionnaire regarding your/coaches concerns, riding experience, goals, past medical history and so on.

  2. Slow motion analysis of short video(s) of you riding.

  3. A teleconsult/video call to continue your assessment, discuss the findings of the video analysis as well as your goals, and to formulate an individualised plan/program.

  4. Your riding specific and individualised rehabilitation/performance program will be emailed to you and you are encouraged to keep in touch with Zoe regarding your progress.

  5. A follow-up consultation to progress your program may be scheduled for 2-8 weeks time depending on the presenting issue.

Telehealth is claimable on most Private Health Insurance funds.
