Cross country day at Defender Burghley Horse Trials - a busy day in the physio cabin but only minor aches and pains, fortunately nothing serious ๐Ÿ˜Ž

This is Emma Thomas and Icarus flying over the Leafpit - I treated Emma everyday last year for a nasty injury sheโ€™d sustained just before the show; this year it was wonderful to see her in top fitness, not needing any physio at all ๐Ÿคฉ

Day 4 as official physio at London Longines Global Champions Tour

Wow 71 treatments in 3.5 days!

Treatments from 10 mins to an hour - from a 5* rider jumping off his horse in the warmup arena and dashing in with cramp, moments before going to compete. To a sponsor with a chronic condition that normally responds to TCM acupuncture and hearing that Iโ€™m able to help.

Looking forward to next year already - fingers crossed they invite me back ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž #
