DESCRIPTION: This course is brought in partnership with VAHL
This hands-on wet lab provides participants with a practical, clinically focused approach to assessing and managing cervical pain and dysfunction in horses. A systematic approach will be demonstrated using static and dynamic observation, palpation of osseous and soft tissue structures, and assessment of active and passive cervical range of motion. Emphasis will be placed on clinical reasoning—integrating history, physical findings, and functional assessment to localize sources of pain and dysfunction. Participants will also be introduced to targeted treatment strategies, including manual therapies, physiotherapeutic modalities, and rehabilitation exercises aimed at restoring normal function and improving performance.
