You will be taught advanced palpation skills prior to a full range of mobilisation techniques on the axial and appendicular skeleton of the horse.

The mobilisation techniques taught help to increase joint fluid to the area which has a nutritional value for the joints and the surrounding tissues.  Mobilisation also causes a reflex response in the spinal cord which helps to relax muscles around the bones and joints.

​

Massage and myofascial release techniques work extremely well with mobilisation  – they have a different intention and function but used together help the horse to move more freely throughout its entire musculoskeletal system and increasing joint range of motion.

​

This skill is based on the principles of chiropractic work but does not qualify you as an equine chiropractor.
