Widen The Lens on the Rider's Seat
In the saddle, equestrians communicate with their horse through their pelvis. Along with their hands, legs, and voice, their seat is vital to equestrian performance. Unfortunately, significant challenges can arise within the pelvis that can interfere with riding ability and enjoyment, and potentially influence how the horse responds. Pelvic concerns can also impact riders beyond the saddle. Pelvic pain, leaking, pelvic organ prolapse, diastasis recti, and impaired pelvic floor muscle function can all factor in.
Join pelvic health physiotherapist, horse lover, and international educator, Teresa Waser, for this 2hr recorded seminar that’s sure to provide insight and thought provocation around pelvic health in equestrians. Learn why pelvic health matters in equestrian sport, what can go awry, and what we can do to help optimize this crucial region of connection between the rider and their horse.
If you’re an equestrian yourself, an equine professional, or a clinician or fitness professional who works with equestrians, this knowledge-packed seminar is NOT to be missed!
