Not every day in business, rehab, horses or training is smooth 🥹

There are obstacles. Plans change and things don’t always go the way you imagined.

But reminding myself that every small action I take today, every client I help, every session I show up to, every decision I make, strengthens the bigger vision that I am building.

Progress isn’t loud and it’s not linear but what it does come down to is consistency.

Sometimes I’m just rolling with the punches and trusting that if my purpose is strong enough, I will get where I’m meant to be.

Rehab works the same way, small, intentional inputs over time create lasting change.

What’s one small step you’re taking this week towards your bigger goal? 👇

Have you noticed resistance in your horses trot or canter?

If your horse struggles to lift through their back, shows resistance in trot or canter, or displays behavioural changes under saddle, it may not be a training issue.

One potential cause is kissing spines a veterinary diagnosed condition involving reduced space between the dorsal spinous processes of the thoracic spine.

This can affect spinal mobility, core engagement and overall performance

Equine therapy plays a supportive role alongside veterinary care.

Building strength and stability allows the horse to better support their spine and improve performance safely.

If you’re ready to support your horse through equine therapy, DM me ‘EQUINE’ to book a session 🐎💙

Building a sustainable business isn’t about quick marketing wins its about this..

In 2016, one client who attended clinic for sports rehabilitation offered her horse as a case study while I was completing my equine therapy training 🐎

That single opportunity led to organic referrals across multiple yards and ultimately helped grow the equine side of my practice.

Over time, consistent results and word of mouth recommendations opened doors into higher performance environments, including work within Paralympic sport.

Nearly a decade later, that original client still attends clinic because she trust me, my results and the relationships we’ve built.

If you’re looking for sports rehabilitation or equine performance therapy rooted in experience and trust, DM me to book your session 💌

Training with hypermobility, you need to try these exercises

If you’re naturally flexible but constantly dealing with lower back pain, pelvic instability, or a persistent feeling of tightness, hypermobility may be part of the picture.

Hypermobility allows joints to move beyond a typical range of motion.

While this can look impressive in strength training or CrossFit, it can also create instability if muscular control and spinal segmentation are lacking.

If you’re hypermobile and struggling with recurring niggles, your programme should prioritise control before range.

Hi, I’m Lucie a BASRaT registered sports rehabilitator with an MSc in sports rehabilitation and a PG certificate in equine performance and rehabilitation 👋🏼

I’m also an associate lecturer at the University of the West of England (UWE) and a PDG Therapist for England Rugby, working within elite sport while running my own clinic, established in 2014.

I have a particular interest in the horse and rider dyad, understanding how two moving bodies interact, compensate and perform together.

Whether you’re an athlete, rider, or someone managing pain, my approach focuses on evidence based rehabilitation, biomechanics, and long term performance.

You don’t need a gym membership to build strength as a rider.

Your daily yard routine already includes functional movements like lifting, carrying, hinging and squatting, the key is performing them with correct mechanics and intention.

Building strength on the yard improves riding stability, reduces injury risk and supports joint health without adding extra training sessions.

Save this post and start using your yard time as strength training 🐎

Hyper mobility is often misunderstood.

Defined as joints moving beyond a typical range of motion, hyper mobility can be an advantage in some sports and performance settings.

However, for many individuals, especially those with hyper mobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS-HT) it can be associated with chronic pain, fatigue, joint instability and nervous system symptoms.

One of the biggest mistakes hyper mobile athletes make is stretching more instead of building stability.

If you’re naturally flexible but struggling with recurring injuries or lower back pain, your training approach may need adjusting.

Sports rehab has taught me many things but this might be the biggest one.

After my horse tore his digital flexor tendon, we spent over a year rehabbing slowly and progressively. No shortcuts. No rushing. Just giving his body the time it needed to heal properly.

That patience paid off:
✔ A smooth rehab process
✔ No recurring issues
✔ A confident return to hacking
✔ A successful return to competition

Horses remind us that progress doesn’t come from pushing harder, it comes from listening better.

The same is true for your body.

What lesson has your horse taught you along the way? Drop it in the comments 👇

Please don’t make this mistake 🙂‍↔️

An ankle sprain might feel small but when you ride, it can affect everything from balance to communication with your horse.

Common signs include:
• Feeling uneven in the saddle
• Pain when putting boots on
• Instability when mounting or dismounting
• Compensating through the knee, hip, or lower back

Riding through a sprain doesn’t make it stronger, rehab does.

A sports rehab session helps restore ankle mobility, strength and stability so you can ride confidently and reduce your risk of further injury.

Don’t ignore it. Booking now for March, get your appointment before they’re gone. DM me to book 📩

Here’s why you aren’t seeing results

Custom rehab isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing what’s right for you and your horse.

When I design rehab plans, I consider:

✔ Goals and competition level

✔ Injury history and movement patterns

✔ Time, lifestyle, and equipment access

✔ How rehab fits into real training, not just theory

From hands on equine therapy to rider performance assessments, every plan is tailored, adaptable, and goal driven.

Because progress doesn’t come from copying someone else’s programme, it comes from understanding your movement.

Uneven contact is one of the most common things riders notice and one of the most misunderstood 🏇🏻

If your horse feels heavier on one rein, struggles to bend evenly, or feels inconsistent in the contact, it’s often a mechanical issue, not a schooling problem.

Asymmetrical muscle tightness, reduced spinal mobility, or compensation patterns can all affect how your horse connects into the bridle.

Equine therapy helps by addressing the physical restrictions behind the contact, allowing training to become clearer, softer and more effective.

This is not a medical diagnosis but it is a sign your horse may need support 📌

Save this post if uneven contact is something you’re currently working through 🐴
