Andover Academy Biomechanics Day (plus Dressage Club)

An Interactive Training Day for Members and Non-Members (priority booking is given to members). 

During this Day you will have an unmounted assessment with Claire from MYO Performance where she will assess your movement/balance/breathing and vision off the horse, before working with you on the horse to access and improve your position. 

This session is then immediately followed by 45 mins with Amy to work through how to apply your new learnings practically in your schooling going forward. 

What does a Biomechnics session involve?

This will be done through a number of screening exercises both off horse and on horse, to understand how the brain communicates with the body to produce movement. This will cover these main areas:

- Breath

- Vision

- Balance (Vestibular System)

- Proprioception

- Strength

During this 60 minute 1:1 session, we will identify any areas of weakness or imbalance in your nervous system and work with you to create a personalised plan. to improve them. This will not only improve your riding performance, movement patterns, but also prevent future injuries and give you greater confidence in your riding,

I believe that by understanding the brain-body connection and how it impacts movement and performance, I can help riders achieve their full potential with their horse. Riders need to have strength, stability, balance and coordination to be effective in communicating with their horse. With a need to be able to breath and move independently of whatever the rest of the body is doing. By utilising the Square1system™ protocol along with EQBands we will  improve position and performance.

This unique approach to performance will produce long term changes to rider behaviour and will enable you to understand the role of the rider and the importance of a holistic approach to performance at all levels.
