The Rider’s Hip and Pelvis with Dr Lesley Goff Optimal horse-rider performance and management of back and pelvic pain in the rider require an understanding of the anatomy and biomechanics of the rider lumbo-pelvic-hip region. Knowledge of the intrinsic and extrinsic factors affecting the function of this area in the rider can help riders, coaches, trainers and practitioners to enhance performance and manage injury in the equestrian athlete.
Centaur Biomechanics was found in 2006 by Dr. Russell MacKechnie-Guire who graduated from Warwickshire College in 2006 with a BSc (Hons) in Equine and Human Sports Science and now holds a PhD in Equine Biomechanics graduating from the Royal Veterinary College in 2019. Russell’s thesis was titled ‘The Relationship between Saddle and Rider Kinematics, Equine Locomotion, and Thoracolumbar Pressures in Sports Horses’.
