Limpsfield Riding Club is delighted to welcome back Andy Thomas MCSP, HCPC. Andy is a physio who specialises in working with riders to identify and assess weakness and imbalances in riders.

His full bio can be found on the link below.

Sessions are 60 minutes for the initial assessment during which Andy will see you ride in straight lines and circles in the school. Off the horse he will then address any asymmetry noticed. You will then finish by riding again using if appropriate the Testt resistance bands and equiptment Andy has developed. You will be given rehab exercises to work on at home before your next session,. The cost of this session is £90.
If you have seen Andy before you may prefer the shorter 30 minute session which does not include the assessment and costs £65. Please note, this option is only for those who have seen Andy before.
This clinic will be open to LRC members only, but then opened out to non-members at a later date if space allows.
