“Listening before treating”

06/01/2026

If your body could ask for one thing this year what would it be?

Resetting your body — not just your diary

🌀 Reset 🌱 Rebuild

January resets often focus on willpower. Diets. Goals. Routines.
But the most meaningful reset is physical.
Your body carries last year with it — every injury you worked around, every ache you ignored, every moment you pushed through.

Rebuilding isn’t about starting from scratch.
It’s about honouring where you are and supporting where you want to go.

Listening is the first step.
Bespoke physiotherapy doesn’t rush this process.

It respects it.

It meets your body where it is and works with it — not against it.
This is how sustainable change begins.

What a year it’s been!

A heartfelt thank you to all my incredible clients – both human and horse – for your trust, commitment, and willingness to show up for healing.

2025 was full of movement, progress, and transformation.
So many assessments. So many treatments.

Stables, Stress & Stiffness ❄️🐴

Winter often means more time stabled — and that can quietly create problems.
Horses aren’t designed to stand still for hours on end.
When movement decreases, so does everything else:
• digestion
• mood
• muscle tone
• joint mobility

If your horse feels grumpy, stiff, or just a bit “off” — it’s not bad behaviour.
It’s biology.
✨ Our approach is holistic and preventative.
We support the whole horse by combining:
✔️ structural assessment
✔️ soft tissue techniques
✔️ owner education — so you know what to do between sessions

Don’t wait for stiffness to turn into injury or lameness.
Let’s keep your horse comfortable, moving well, and feeling their best — even through winter.

Healing is individual.
So physiotherapy should be too.
Every person — and every body — has a different story.
And the way we heal is never the same from one person to the next.
My own career has shown me this again and again:
✨ In the NHS, I supported people through complex physical challenges
✨ In the prison system, I saw how trauma and survival mode show up in the body
✨ In my equine work, I watch manual therapy and electrotherapy create immediate changes in posture and movement
(and no — placebo doesn’t work on horses!)
Different worlds.
Different experiences.

All pointing to one important truth:
➡️ Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all.
That’s why I don’t believe physiotherapy should be limited to one approach.
Sometimes the right support is movement.
Sometimes it’s hands-on therapy.
Sometimes it’s calming the nervous system enough for the body to feel safe again.

The key is giving each person the right intervention, at the right moment, for what their body needs.
There is room for all of us.
There is room for every approach that helps someone move with less pain and more confidence.

And if taking a more individualised path makes me an outlier…
I’m okay with that — because it means more people (and horses!) get the help that truly works for them. 🐴💚

🌿 Healing Isn’t Always a Straight Line

Most people think chronic conditions are all about pain.
But the real cost goes so much deeper — and it often goes unseen.

It’s the plans you cancel because your back flared up (again).
The sleep you lose because your hips won’t settle down.
The guilt of saying “no” to things you wish you could say yes to.
The constant adjusting, pacing, explaining… and sometimes pretending you’re fine.

Pain doesn’t just affect your body.
It affects your confidence, your energy, and the way you trust yourself.

Physiotherapy isn’t just about easing symptoms.
It’s about helping you rebuild your relationship with your body.

✨ Listening instead of pushing
✨ Understanding the patterns behind flare-ups
✨ Learning tools that support real, lasting change
✨ Feeling empowered again — not defeated

You’re not broken.
You’re not behind.
You’re simply overdue for care that sees the whole picture.

Healing is not linear… but with the right support, it is possible.
And we’re here to help you get there.

Prevention is always better than cure. ❤️

Good performance doesn’t start on competition day — it starts with the quiet, consistent work we do long before anything goes wrong.
Winter can create hidden tension and little compensations that build up over time.
That’s why the four-session Performance Maintenance Plan works so well — it supports your horse before small issues turn into big setbacks.
Over those four sessions we:
✨ release tension
✨ reinforce healthy movement
✨ strengthen weak areas
✨ build tissue resilience
It’s all about keeping your horse comfortable, moving well, and ready for whatever comes next.
Proactive care > reactive fixing. Every time.

Good performance isn’t luck — it’s consistent care.

Winter is when the little things matter most.

Those small, regular adjustments can be the difference between staying on track… or facing a long lay-off later. I’ve seen the emotional and financial cost after things go wrong.
It’s always higher than early support.

That’s why I created the Performance Maintenance Plan — to keep horses comfortable, moving well and ready for the season ahead.

✨ 4 tailored sessions
✨ Regular check-ins
✨ Proactive care

If you’re ready to stay ahead, I’m here ❤️
