While our practice supports athletes of all kinds, as a lifelong horsewoman Dr Sarah Watson has a special place in her practice for equestrian athletes.  She has been riding since the age of five and started riding American Saddlebreds at the age of 8.  She has competed in hunter, western, country pleasure, and park and also has experience with disciplines such as cross country, saddle seat, and dressage.

Any rider will tell you, "You are not a real equestrian until you fall off."  Falling off is exactly what lead Dr Sarah to Chiropractic.  As a teenager she sustained an injury and was told she would never ride again.  She credits specific Chiropractic care to her recovery and continued riding two decades later.

The foundation of any solid rider is the pelvis and by extension the legs.  If your pelvis is crooked, your legs are crooked. If your head is rotated, your pelvis is off balance. Are your shoulder even, are you hips even, how about your legs?

What does this all mean?  If you are off balance you are giving your horse unequal cues. A chiropractic evaluation and treatment can lead to more comfort in the saddle and more success in the ring. Dr Sarah's years of horsemanship coupled with her focus on pelvic dysfunction give her a unique advantage to address these problems in equestrians.
