My life outside of sports therapy
So, what do I get up to outside of the clinic? I have been around horses all my life, and when I am not in my clinic, I work with horses a couple of mornings. a week. Growing up around horses and riding, I have a good understanding of the demands of the rider and how riding can impact your strength and training programmes.
