Course programme
Equine Neurology, Muscle Physiology And Pathology
This course present a logical, progressive format in the true Equinology style. Loads of slides, specimens, hand-outs, practicals in the classroom and on horses will support the lectures and printed matter. A clear understanding of these subjects will help every body worker as well as every professional in the field of equine health care, whether they are using massage, acupressure, craniosacral therapy, myofascial release or any other technique in complementary therapy. Every student will benefit from this course, be it through learning new information or as a review of previous studies.
This course is directed at the body worker to build the understanding of the mechanisms of various modalities. Pathologies relevant to cases body workers may encounter are discussed. The latest discoveries, advances and systematic studies on the effects of various modalities will be presented. Exciting new information makes this course a must to update all those working in the field.
