"Jess has been supporting and treating my horse's for the last couple of seasons and the results speak for themselves! My horses feel relaxed and able to work at their best. I never feel rushed, with Jess giving a thorough assessment both statically and dynamically before palpating and treating each horse. It is remarkable how Jess can detect where minor schooling problems creep in just by assessing the condition of the horses muscles! This works hand in hand with the way I train and produce my horses as Jess produces exercise programmes and in stable exercises that target any weaknesses or areas that require improvement as the horses work their way up the levels. Jess is always on the end of the phone if I need any advice, and with Jess' background in research, her understanding of exercise physiology, biomechanics, modern technology and injury prevention and rehabilitation make her and invaluable member of my team both in training and at major international events. Eventing at such a high level means that I very much need a team of professionals around my horses and myself. Jess is perfectly happy fitting into that team, having a great relationship with my vet, farrier, saddle fitter, dentist and trainers, keeping thorough and detailed reports, exercise programmes and histories for each horse, keeping each member of my support team updated should they or myself require copies.

Jess is always professional and understands and cares about how my horses are going, wanting to be a part of creating a plan to achieve mine and my horses goals. My sensitive horses really respond well to Jess' patience, understanding that the horses need to trust and relax during their sessions, often using her electrotherapy machines to ease any sore or fatigued areas avoiding distressing the horses, who recognise her as the "treat lady" when they work hard or through a painful area. This is a great approach as the horses' look forward to their sessions and seeing Jess rather than expecting a hard or painful session. I have particularly noticed my more sensitive and neurotic horses have been more relaxed and rideable at home and at competitions.

This has been my most successful year in eventing across all levels. Jess understands from a training perspective and from a cellular level the demands placed on my horses, meaning that the level of care taken over the horses at events allow me to trust that my horses will feel fighting fit on the final day of competition coming home sound and providing fantastic results in all phases. I look forward to working with Jess in the future and highly recommend her to anyone with horses or dogs!"

Having had a very fit horse suddenly come out of work due to injury, I was finding it really difficult to keep his muscles supple and comfortable in the stable. Jess was fantastic at treating my horse throughout his four months of box rest and he is now back into work. It is really clear that it has made a huge difference in his rebailitation. Jess' treatment of my other horse in full work is also having a noticeable effect on his dressage scores- the suppleness through his back has really improved. Jess works with me to fit my horses physio sessions in around competitions and training to optimise my results. With three wins after each of my last physio sessions! I also really like the bespoke training exercises that Jess has given me as homework to maintain both horses in between sessions as both ridden and groundwork, focussing on improving their weaker areas.

I called Jess out to Toby as he seemed to look sore behind. Jess came out at short notice. I would highly recommend her to friends. She did a great job of explaining all of what she was doing so I had a high level of understanding. She also gave an information sheet on exercises to do with Toby on a daily basis to keep him supple and maintain performance. Toby has felt fantastic since his treatment and I will be using Jess as Toby's physio as of now. I would recommend to any horse or dog owner that needs a full "MOT" to contact Jess. She was very friendly , no question was an issue to answer. I feel I have a much better understanding of my horse as of my appointment, and Jess made it very clear that if I needed anything that I could contact her anytime for advice if struggling with any homework exercises. I'm looking forward to working alongside Jess , in maintaining Toby's physio and condition.

I invited Jess to perform a physiotherapy check on my mare Lady. Jess explained her techniques all the way through an excellent and extremely thorough examination, and treated Lady with upmost care and attention at all times. I would highly recommend Jess.

Jess is incredibly professional and has a huge knowledge base, not just of physiotherapy,but of how the whole team of farriers, tack fitters, nutritionists, vets, trainers and riders can work together to promote horse welfare and peak performance. I have immediately felt the difference in my horse, and even though he's not the easiest character to work with, Jess took her time and used skills to help him 'accept' the treatments she used. Would highly recommend to anyone whether you're looking to find the root of a particular problem, or in my case a routine MOT to see if there was anything we could do better. After feeling the results I've already re booked for another session before his first international competition. Thanks Jess!

Excellent professional service from Jess tonight. My horse wasn't quite right, so Jess squeezed us into her busy day so we didn't have to wait till the end of the week. Highly recommended. Thanks Jess will keep you updated on his progress.
