For recovering from an event or preparing for one, or just for your overall sense of connection and competence, it's hard to beat massage.  Massage can help a rider reduce physical imbalances, improve range of motion, increase body awareness, ease aches and pains, and relax tension.  Tight or shortened muscles, knots and adhesions, "guarding" sore areas, and energy imbalances in your body inevitably will affect your riding, as will stress and emotional tension.  Your horse can sense it all!  Performance in dressage, show jumping, polo, even pleasure riding benefits when the rider is relaxed and comfortable in his or her own skin.  A program of regular therapeutic massage can help remove impediments in your seat, legs, hands, back, balance, flexibility, even in your energetic connection with your horse. 
 

Don't neglect yourself or ignore an injury until you are no longer comfortable in or out of the saddle.  A rider's problem often becomes an issue for the horse and any stiffness within the rider will cause balance and postural problems, which are then passed directly onto your horse influencing how he moves.  Pelvic imbalances may cause unlevel shoulders, difficulty with ridden work on one rein, or problems with balance.  Unlock the stiffness and tension that could be holding you and your horse back, care for yourself and assist your horse's performance and health.

 

Improve your balance in the saddle, increase your competitive edge, learn to manage your tension, become more flexibile and body aware, be more in tune with your horse.  Ride with greater ease, improve your seat, posture, fitness and performance.  Help your horse by changing your own 'way of going'.
