Performance - Focused Equine Manual Therapy
Ruth lives on-site and manages Blueview Equestrian. As a qualified professional equine bodyworker, agisters at Blueview get priority booking and discounted prices whenever their horse requires Ruth’s services. Equissential Bodywork is available to travel to all of Greater Sydney and surrounds.
Equissential bodywork provides structured, anatomically informed manual therapy for performance horses.
Each session is designed to improve mobility, reduce compensatory tension, support correct biomechanics, and optimise the horse’s ability to train and compete consistently.
For owners who require targeted, professional bodywork for their performance horses in work, complimenting rehabilitation plans, and performance maintenance and improvement.

I combine advanced anatomical knowledge with practical feel developed through years in performance environments.
Every session includes:
Full static and dynamic assessment
Palpation and functional muscle testing
Manual soft tissue release
Fascial release techniqies
Post-treatment feedback and management advice
No two horses are treated the same. Each session is tailored to the individual horse, workload and competition goals.
