Putting this course together has been a challenge for me in a good way... I've worked with so many owners, students, and other professionals over the years... Sharing my techniques and experiences that have helped so many horses. My goal is to get you comfortable with discovering the root cause of issues, not just teach you a general massage routine. This is creating a unique routine for each horse you encounter. They are individuals and their compensation patterns will be
your roadmap for how we do the work. This is Rehab-Focused Bodywork education.
As always there will be an online portion with textbook reading and testing, videos to watch, and coloring sheets to complete. Then you'll have 3 days of onsite training where I will help you develop your feel, spot compensation patterns, and begin the work.
Our class sizes will be capped at 6 people, because I want you to get the individualized experience that you deserve.
This course is designed to create solutions for problems in the performance horse. Techniques learned here will compliment course material from the Rehab Therapist Certification Course, but is its own independent study.
