Julie Staub treats horses and people, using her knowledge and certifications as a licensed Physical Therapist, a Certified Matrix Repatterning Practitioner (CMRP), an Equine Osteopath (EDO), and a STOTT Pilates Rehab Instructor Trainer.
She has combined these diverse fields into a unique way of re-educating the neuromuscular system of the body as a whole.
Julie has been practicing physical therapy for nearly three decades. Coming from an athletic background, Julie learned first-hand how injury can affect one’s quality of life as well as guide one’s life path.
Her passion is educating humans about their bodies so they can form a greater partnership with their horses; and fostering a well-educated community of horse people whose intention is to advance the best interests of both horses and riders.
She teaches courses she has developed that help riders learn to use their bodies more efficiently and to better synchronize with their horse.
Julie Staub
Julie is a professional physical therapist. She has worked in a variety of settings, including Division I college athletics, high school athletics, hospital-based acute care, skilled-nursing facility, and outpatient orthopedics. Julie has brought this rich therapeutic background to her new professional passion — helping riders and horses achieve their full equestrian potential.
Courses
Julie has developed, and continues to develop, a series of hands-on courses for people (riders or not). Supporting the Rider focuses on the body from the inside out.
Current courses encompass:
- The body’s core and its integral role in establishing a solid base for movement.
- The hip and shoulder and their role in connecting the core to the rider’s handling of the horse.
- Rotation from the ground up to assist the rider in balancing their body as well as the horse’s body as they both re-balance throughout their ride.
She will work with groups of one or two people and their horses. Lodging is available. Please call for more details.
Equestrian activities are inherently risky.
We recommend use of safety equipment, including helmets.
