The polo swing analysis session is a 30 minute in depth assessment of your movement. These sessions aim to identify areas that you can improve on to bring your polo up to the next level. By correcting and improving your movement through these sessions and through your bespoke training plan, you are able to improve your play more quickly and effectively.
This is not a polo lesson and will not go through how to hit a ball, you should have a basic understanding of polo before booking this session.
In person sessions are recommended for the best result and take place at Conroy polo (Guildford, Surrey). The session begins on the wooden horse to collect information on your swing. We then sit down to go through your movements and work on a plan for you to take away.
· You will need to wear sensible boots and a riding hat when on the wooden horse.
Alternatively, if you are unable to attend in person but would like an analysis done you can send a recording of your swing which can be reviewed over video chat and a plan made.

Rider biomechanics
Polo swing analysis
Polo swing analysis
Your position in the saddle affects everything — how your horse moves, how comfortable you feel on a long hack, and how quickly you recover from injury. Rider biomechanics is the study of how your body moves when you ride: the alignment of your posture, the balance of your pelvis, the stability of your core, and the subtle asymmetries that most riders develop over years without ever realising.
As a physiotherapist specialising in equestrian riders, I use biomechanical assessment to identify exactly what your body is doing — and what it should be doing — so you can ride more effectively, more comfortably, and with less risk of pain or injury.
Biomechanical Assessment for Performance and Comfort
You don’t need to be injured to benefit from a rider biomechanics assessment. Many riders seek one out because something just doesn’t feel right — they’re always stiff after riding, they can’t sit the canter on one rein, their horse consistently falls in on one side, or they’ve hit a plateau in their training that no amount of lessons seems to fix.
The human body is rarely perfectly symmetrical, and riding amplifies every imbalance. Tight hip flexors, a stiff thoracic spine, weakness through one side of the glutes — these are all common findings that directly affect your contact, your position, and your horse’s way of going.
