🏇 How Elite Recovery Helps Equestrian Athletes Win Competitions
Each equestrian discipline places unique demands on the body. Elite Recovery’s soft tissue therapy is customized to keep you performing at your best:

Solution: Myofascial release and targeted stretching improve balance and control, allowing for clearer communication with the horse.

Solution: Neuromuscular therapy and FST optimize hip mobility, improving posture and jump execution.
