Basics of Equine Massage Therapy Workshop
"The course was very informative, easy to follow, and the instructor was fabulous. The school is beautiful and makes for a very fun course."
This course utilizes both theory-based knowledge training and hands-on massage for your horse. Some prior knowledge of equine anatomy will assist learners to gain the maximum knowledge & benefit from this course, however it is not required. This course will give horse owners the ability to:
- Better understand what the body language of your horse is telling you about their comfort level
- Recognize muscle soreness or dysfunction
- Provide comfort for sore/stiff muscles and related soft tissue stress
- Improve the ability of your horse to return to work sooner after injury or exertion
- Recognize when it is time to contact your equine health professional
