Seminar Descriptions
Introduction to Postural Rehabilitation
The introductory seminar is for both equine and small animal practitioners. It has a high proportion of scientific content, to give a solid background in the biological basis of the clinical techniques. We focus on the structure and function of the upper cervical region and the related biomechanics of locomotion. Individual and group instruction on correct practitioner body mechanics and function are an essential part of this module. Approved for 25 CE hours.* 3:11 Intro Syllabus.pdf
Canine Postural Rehabilitation
Small animal practitioners learn about the contributions of the stomatognathic system and distal extremities to posture. We spend a day on canine bite and skull malformations, and a day exploring the structure and function of the distal extremities. Focus on effective handling techniques provides significant improvement in clinical skills for diagnostics and treatment. Approved for 25 CE hours.* See Canine Postural Rehabilitation Syllabus.
Equine Postural Rehabilitation
Equine practitioners learn about the contributions of the stomatognathic system and distal extremities to posture. We spend a day on equine dentition, a day on hoof balance and participate in dissections to explore the relationship of structure and function. Focus on effective handling techniques provides significant improvement in clinical skills for diagnostics and treatment. Approved for 25 CE hours.* 11:12 Equine PR Syllabus.pdf.
