Equinology, Inc.®

Courses offered in a modular format. Courses included massage, acupressure, MFR, craniosacral, biomechanics, anatomy, saddle fitting, neuromuscular reeducation, nutrition, exercise physiology and more. All courses are taught by veterinarians and specialists. Equine sports massage is the therapeutic application of hands-on techniques that have been long recognized for their ability to increase circulation and range of motion, as well as to improve the horse’s stamina and overall performance. It also relieves muscle spasms and tension and enhances muscle tone. Overuse, overstretching, and overloading muscles can cause tissue lesions, which can restrict motion and create pain. The goal of this program is to teach the pupil how to locate these points and break them up using various therapeutic methods and techniques. This course differs from others in that the student’s ability to locate points and issues is developed by instilling a strong groundwork of anatomy. The student will learn to identify muscles and their functions, evaluate and observe the horse’s movement and development, administer an entire sports massage, and perform correct range-of-motion stretching and warm-up exercises. Some courses are accredited or counted as continuing education by the McTimoney Animal Chiropractic School, the USDF University, and other colleges.
