About Dee

 

Dee is a former stable manager at an exclusive 5* Island Resort off the coast of Mozambique and was part of the small stables team at the London 2012 Olympics. Dee has competed successfully to National Level and trained up to International in the UK and abroad, and was proudly funded by “Mars Refuel” and sponsored by “Hartpury Saddlery” in 2012 on an eventer she was riding.

Dee’s passion of horses and sport stems from aged two and she continued this enthusiasm in her academic pathway. Dee gained a NC, ANC, BHS 1 & 2 at Writtle College, to graduate as an Equestrian Sports Science (2:1) student at the prestigious Hartpury College. The degree focused on both human and equine anatomy, physiology, therapy and nutrition. She then completed the highly regarded International Therapy Examination Council Diploma in Equine Sports Massage, delivered by World Renown Veterinary Chartered Physiotherapist Mary Bromiley (MBE, FCSP, SRP, RPT). Dee is a fully insured Equine Sports Massage Association (ESMA) member and very proudly has the honored title of the ESMA Chairman.

Through her degree and volunteering in human sports massage to gain further experience, it became apparent that this was an area of great interest, working with various athletes from different sports, particularly elite rugby players and riders. Dee also realised how overlooked sports massage for the rider currently is and its influence on the horses performance. Dee is a level four sports massage therapist with the Sports Massage Association (SMA) and was personally examined by the head sports massage therapist of London 2012 and the chairman of the SMA. Insured for working on professionals and amateurs, she also holds certificates in human and equine Kinesiology Taping and Muscle Energy Techniques, as well as using Deep Oscillation Therapy, thermal imaging and light therapy which is often used as part of her treatment.

As a keen sports person herself, Dee works out regularly and understands the importance of a fit and healthy rider. Dee works on rider fitness, strength and conditioning with all her riders and provides tailored programmes for both the horse and rider. Recently Dee did a series for Horse and Hound – Rider Performance Programme of Exercises, with thousands of views for each, it is something needed in the industry and something she is very passionate about.

Dynamic Sports Therapy is proudly sponsored by ‘Perform Better UK’, ‘Therma-Vet’ and ‘Jo Hansford Photography’.
