Working with Maeve has helped me maximise my performance too, by helping me be able to be as straight and balanced as I can even when there's no specific injury to be treated, just a little niggle or perhaps a feeling I'm not quite sitting as straight as I could be.”

“I have had on-going problems with my back for several years. Over time I found I could ride less and less effectively and the poor movement in my body had a negative effect on my horse's comfort and blocked his movement. Within a few sessions I already felt a marked improvement. I am hugely indebted to Maeve for helping me enjoy my sport once again.”

“Maeve's approach is awesome! Her magic fingers did a brilliant job of seeing off my very long established back pain, but she's also given me the tools to be much more in control of what's happening with my body. Maeve has also reminded me about how to breathe properly and shifted me away from the 'braced core' I'd learned in other forms of exercise I'd tried. All of it has had a great effect on my riding. About a year ago I could tell my doctor was dubious about whether I should continue riding. Ha! Onwards and upwards!”

“As well as riding I try to run to keep fit. After several falls and a hospital visit I was left with some pelvis issues that meant running had become uncomfortable for me and I felt crooked in the saddle. The rider treatment session was really insightful and Maeve spotted things very quickly. I was encouraged by Maeve’s positivity and encouragement to run further distances again. I managed to become quicker and the discomfort was no longer an issue! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Maeve to anyone for professional friendly and beneficial treatment and advice.”

“I thought my aches and pains were just old age and all the times I fell off as a young thing catching up on me.  After a visit to Maeve I discovered this was not true and can now be pain free for sustained periods of time. The time between treatments is getting longer and being pain free is awesome. I had forgotten what it was like, thank you Maeve.”
