Episode #61: Katie Wood — The Equestrian Physio, Equine Rehabilitation Specialist

“Movement comes from somewhere. Force comes from somewhere.” — Katie Wood

Without correct mobility our body cannot absorb forces from the horse, and these forces then get slammed back into the horse. 

Ouch!

It’s our responsibility to be the best we can be when we step onto the back of our horses. This is where actively and proactively seeking the advice of this week’s guest comes into play. 

Katie Wood is a physiotherapist specializing in equestrian athletes, and a rehabilitation specialist for the horses themselves.

Her understanding of both the horse and the rider perspective on training sets her apart from all others.
