Equestrian Balancing Therapy
A therapy for mounted riders and mounted horses devised and developed by
Julie Houghton BHSI (Reg'd) Cert ZB
(UK Certified Zero Balancing Practitioner)
Equestrian Balancing Therapy (EBT) is a hands on therapy derived from the principles of Zero balancing. The aim is to create balance and harmony with the combination of horse and rider.
Our unique approach is to treat the rider whilst they are sitting on the horse, so that the changes in their body happen in the position that they are aiming to become comfortable and established in. The horse is treated with the rider mounted so that he can adjust his balance with the rider on board.
Equine craniosacral therapy available
Treatments: £35.00p per session
Clinics also available for group bookings, livery yards, riding clubs, riding schools etc.
For further details please contact Julie at: Telephone: 01384 288507 Mobile: 07954 373006 Email: hes_hrm@yahoo.co.uk
