Advanced Equine Osteopathic Techniques: Visceral Manipulation

The leading modality in regards to achieving extraordinary results.

Students will focus on becoming proficient at resetting diaphragm spasms, organ dysfunctions, urogenital system, and lumbar pelvis constrictions.

Diaphragm spasms are common and often the primary cause of debilitating symptoms that are difficult to resolve without therapeutic intervention. Symptoms like physical lameness, metabolic, and emotional indications are caused by diaphragm spasms and are also cleared when treating the diaphragm. Students will focus on visceral manipulation techniques, lumbar torsions, subluxations, and resetting pelvic and sacral dysfunctions. Clearing soft tissues, and joint dysfunctions via vascular, neural, lymphatic, and manipulations will be addressed.
