UP AND COMING EQUINE WEBINARS

with Gillian Tabor: MSc ResM MCSP HCPCreg

While we primarily consider the distal limb when we think about ligament and tendon injuries, the reality is that a ligament or tendon injury can occur in many other regions of the body. In this lecture, we will discuss injury and rehabilitation of the supraspinous and nuchal ligaments, biceps brachii tendon, and more.

This lecture will discuss the common areas of scars and muscle tears and the implications on the horse’s biomechanics. It will highlight the importance of treatment and rehabilitation and the options available. 

with Melissa King: DVM, PhD, DACVSMR

Impart an understanding of the long-term adaptation processes of the axial skeleton that can occur due to chronic naturally occurring lameness and further justify the consideration of changes in spinal characteristics when rehabilitating limb injuries in equine patients.

with Martina Neidhart: DVM, DVC, CVA, MRCVS

How internal problems influence the muscles that are responsible for locomotion, the neurology behind it, and how we can integrate that knowledge into practical work.

with Jec Ballou

Self-presentation of a series of corrective exercises along with recommended dosages, and modifications to restore healthy movement to horses.

Many equestrians operate from an incomplete understanding of how and when to use hills as part of a conditioning plan, or how to account for when they lack access to them. This presentation will define different slope angles, exercise durations, and specific strategies for prescribing hills based on relevant goals.

with Melissa King: DVM, PhD, DACVSMR

With the need to explore medication-free solutions for pain modulation and improved healing comes management strategies involving various forms of electromagnetic field therapies. Discussion involving the basics and benefits of EMF, PEMF, and BEMER therapy.

with Solange Mikail: DVM, MSc, DACVSMR DIPLOMAT OF THE ACVSMR

This lecture describes the most common Instrumented Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization techniques for horses: IASTM tools, Massage equipment, Cupping, and Flossing bands.
