ABOUT US
Back in Balance offer a complete multi-modal approach to equine wellbeing by combining manual therapy, saddle fitting and rehabilitation planning.
​
The majority of ridden horses will suffer from back pain at some point in their lives, this can stem from a multitude of reasons however poor saddle fit is one of the largest contributing factors.
​
If your saddle does not fit correctly, no amount of massage, equine physio or manual therapy will solve the problem.
​
Back pain is just one of the issues that can crop up but there are lots of other areas that may need attention.
​
Our approach aims to help locate and target primary sources of pain, not just treat the symptoms. ​​​​​​​​
