Equine Chiropractic Manipulation Myofascial Mobilisation Methods Online with In Person Practise

Daniel has sanctioned Caroline to run this workshop in the UK and says, “I know these techniques are in great hands with you. I enthusiastically endorse you and your teaching ability.” Daniel Kamen is a leading U.S. Chiropractor who has been manipulating horses for decades. He has developed a comprehensive range of techniques that can help mobilise virtually all joints involved in equine sports performance and comfort enhancement. Caroline Lindsay, Veterinary Physiotherapist, travelled to America in 1994 to learn from Daniel and has hosted his only two visits to the UK to hold his sell-out seminars. She has been using his techniques for more than 2 decades on every horse that she treats, with excellent results. Daniel has sanctioned Caroline to run this workshop in the UK and recently wrote to her “I know these techniques are in great hands with you. I enthusiastically endorse you and your teaching ability.”

A previous attendee stated “Just wanted to thank you for all your help and wisdom this weekend 🙂 really enjoyed it all, it’s definitely been the missing link I’ve been seeking!”

This session will cover head, neck, TMJ, forelimb, spinal vertebrae, ribs, pelvis, hip joint and tail.

Myofascial Techniques will focus on the areas mobilised with manipulation to improve range of motion by addressing restrictions. Caroline Lindsay began learning these techniques with Ruth Mitchell-Golladay on her 5 day CPD course 18 years ago and has added to the protocol with her training and experience ever since. CPD training with Dr. Vibeke Elbrond on myofascial lines has added to her myofascial knowledge and expertise. Group members will NOT be required to practise on each other.

Session Content: A comprehensive range of equine chiropractic manipulation, myofascial and mobilisation techniques, together with variations and many alternatives for the techniques, are demonstrated so that application of the techniques is as inclusive for a wide range of equine practitioners as possible. Emphasis is on correcting posture to improve performance.

2. Evaluation of the temporomandibular, hyoid, atlanto-axial, atlanto-occipital, cervical, thoracic, lumbar vertebral segments, the ribs pelvis and limbs.
3. How the above joint segments can be addressed with a variety of manipulation and myofascial techniques to improve performance and gait by resolving minor segmental range of motion restrictions.
