Advanced Equine Veterinary Manual Therapy Course

Course overview

This course will be offered for those veterinarians who have been practicing some form of Veterinary Spinal Manipulation for at least 3 years and completed the online informative prerequisite course. This course is a completely hands-on in-person class demonstrating techniques and coaching better results for veterinary manipulation and improving equine health through body work. It will be limited to a very small number of veterinarians, so as to give personal attention and intensive instruction to each participant. Veterinarians will work on horses and learn how to use myofascial release in spinal manipulative work. Discussion will also involve integrating Veterinary Tui-na to release body restrictions as well as how to integrate theories of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) into equine health using TCVM knowledge of acupuncture channel anatomy and how to release body areas using these channels. This course will be two eight-hour days of watching horses move, students adjusting, learning to feel and clear body restrictions at a deeper level, and learning how patterns of chiropractic findings relate to lameness and improve athletic performance with integration of Veterinary Manual Therapy.
