Sports Physiotherapy for Riders:

Move Better. Ride Better. Perform at Your Best.

Sports Physiotherapists play an important role in helping athletes prevent injury, recover and optimise performance. With an expert understanding of biomechanics and how the body moves, they identify areas of weakness or dysfunction through comprehensive assessment and develop tailored programs to improve physical function and performance.

The Riders Physio, Zoe Farrant, is an APA Titled Sports and Exercise Physiotherapist who helps riders of all ages and ambitions develop the physical capacity to be a balanced, effective load for their horse, while communicating through coordinated, subtle aids.

Injuries, aches and pains are an inevitable part of life and riding. Zoe can help you recover, rebuild confidence and return to doing what you love as quickly and safely as possible.

With undergraduate and master's qualifications and nearing two decades of experience diagnosing and treating sporting injuries and riding-related musculoskeletal conditions, Zoe understands the unique physical demands of equestrian sport.

Zoe's passion is helping riders achieve their goals by optimising their physical health, movement and performance.

She'd love to be part of your team — because great results come from great teamwork!
