German Olympic Squad Rider

"Working with Dave at my stable was amazing.

Starting with -  I normally wake up with some stiffness in my back, and I did not the next day!

In my riding, I was able to easily keep my shoulders level, my "shorter" leg now equally long.

 And I easily found my eyes up, much better head-carriage and spinal decompression, giving me a much straighter and more efficient position. I was really happy about this!

The first days after our session I thought a lot about my body, but now without thinking about it too much, I still feel positive results but definitely wish to explore more.

And an update from one of my international students whom Dave also worked with, the tools Dave gave us have made it much easier to correct her, and I think the riding is getting better with this! Highly recommended."

CONDITIONS WE TREAT

WHERE DOES IT HURT?

- BACK PAIN, S.I. DISFUNCTION, NECK PAIN, SPINAL COMPRESSION / DEVIATION, DISC ISSUES, SPONDYLOLISTHESIS, KNEE-PAIN, HIP-PAIN, SCIATICA, HEADACHES, TMJ
These are only some of the issues that trouble riders, that we can help with. 

 

Experience freedom from discomfort and struggle.

 

Say goodbye to the aches and pains that you may have accepted as "normal".
Results are as little as one-session away. Chronic long-holding issues will take longer, but still expect relief on the first visit.

 

Along with pain-relief, you’ll awaken your body’s innate ability to ride softer, with greater feel and better results. You’ll learn how to release the physical and mental tension, as well as the “over-effort” that blocks the full expression of your horse’s talent.

The Feldenkrais Method® is a way of using movement to improve the function of the nervous system and the brain. We're not just working on the body, we're working on the brain-body connection. We're helping people to move more efficiently, more easily, with less effort.

"The Feldenkrais Method has not only helped me out of chronic pain but improved my riding tremendously through reducing tension and increasing suppleness, while highly increasing my body awareness! This course might help you."

- Felicitas von Neumann-Cosel

"Hi Dave! I have to tell you that my horse and I have turned a corner. I can't believe it. I am able to sit the trot and canter so much better. Because I'm relaxing my hips and back more, he's giving me his back. I can feel him pushing with his hind end. I also have never known what some things actually feel like - i.e. "hold the horse with your back" or "influence the horse with your core"... now I do - I believe in part because of your session and my ability to be more aware of my body. OMG OMG OMG I've been riding my entire life - most of it in dressage. This is life changing for me."

- Lori Elrod, Adult Amateur Dressage and Event Rider, NY

"To all my fellow riders, I encourage you to check this out! Following this program has helped me ride with better alignment and self-awareness. Even better, it has relieved some of my chronic hip and neck pain!"

More from HAPPY clients 

Pain relief, improved posture and better riding 

Each time I have worked with Dave something magical and perhaps unbelievable happened. This last time I had been waking up every morning, for weeks, with shoulder and neck pain, including tingling in my arm, he was able to cure this permanently in one-session! Of course my mornings were better and happier, including better rides. 

Previously he had helped me with a longer and easier posture, which also helped my riding directly, and got rid of a forward head-posture that I did not previously know how to permanently improve. 


He has done hands-on work, group Feldenkrais lessons and also normal riding lessons for many of my students, all have greatly improved, with one session!


In addition, I witnessed him working with my Dad, who came in to the stable with a lot of pain, unable to walk upright. Within a short session, Dave had my Dad pain, free, walking upright and pain free. He had not moved like this in decades! While Dave was working a famous veterinarian was visiting and also witnessed the changes, he also could not believe it! 

He did almost the same with the grandmother of one student, who went from being stiff and a bit grumpy to a giddy and ready to dance much younger version of herself, in one session!


Give it a try for yourself! Or perhaps for a parent or grandparent.

Relief from Long-held Back-Pain, More comfortable Rides and More Productive Training!

I had my first private Feldenkrais Method session with Dave and I must say it was so interesting. I just rode my mare and I definitely feel more centered overall with less effort to do so. My seat felt more connected in the saddle and my back pain that I have had for years was very minimal. Thank you Dave so much for that. Makes me very happy! I highly recommend all riders giving this a try to see for themselves how these sessions can assist them. Dave (Dave Thind Method) offers private sessions, live group classes coming up in Wellington, as well as online options. If you struggle with unevenness in your body from any injuries, this is truly helpful. Here is a picture of my posture after he worked with me.
