This study program is intended for all horse and animal lovers, for riders, for horse owners, for veterinarians, for stable workers, and for those working in all equine therapeutic fields. With the aim of treating and caring for your horse, or the horses under your responsibility, and also to acquire new effective therapeutic tools, develop your profession, stand out from other practitioners and acquire professions that are in great demand in the labor market, with international certificates from the leading institutions in the field and for the first time in the country.
About the program
The most comprehensive program worldwide! It includes also Laser Therapy & PEMF, for free!
Physical Therapy has been growing within the field of sports medicine and has had to rapidly evolve to keep up with the ever-increasing demands of competition. Horses are forced to perform at their physiologic limits which has led to an increase in musculoskeletal pathology in the equine population. This course is designed to teach you how to reduce or improve biomechanical constraints due to musculoskeletal pathology, decrease pain and inflammation, promote healing, and assist in keeping horses performing in sport via prevention or management of musculoskeletal conditions.
This course will meet for a duration of 5 days and will largely include hands-on active learning through direct practice.
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy is a revolutionary modality used in the treatment of neuromusculoskeletal pathology. During this course you will learn the fundamentals of PEMF, the indications and contraindications of usage, and the application of PEMF. PEMF in the equine population allows for improved healing and regeneration, temporary increase in circulation, and assists with muscle fatigue and recovery post-exercise.
Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field Therapy (PEMFT) is a non-invasive, pain-free therapy that has been found to be beneficial for the treatment of chronic problems, pain, soft tissue injuries, and it could assist in the rehabilitation process.
On the therapeutic ultrasound area, students will explore the theory of different modalities like low intensity pulsed US, therapeutic ultrasound (TUS), amongst other.
Students will also have practical application of TUS, including doses and contraindications. Lastly students will explore electrostimulation and radiofrequencies therapies, including principles of their applications and practical applications of these therapies.
The course will focus on therapeutic ultrasound, pulsed magnetic field therapy, electrical stimulation and radiofrequency.
Laser therapy is gaining in popularity due to its benefits in exercise recovery.
As demands increase on the equine population; laser therapy can assist in the treatment of chronic pain and inflammation as well as promoting tissue growth and wound healing. During this course you will learn the fundamentals of laser therapy, the indications and contraindications for use, and the clinical application of laser therapy. This course will meet for a duration of 3 days and will largely include hands-on active learning through direct practice. The term Laser is the acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. A laser light is monochromatic, collimated, and coherent. A laser is a device that produces such a light. Low level laser therapy (LLLT) is used by some physiotherapists to treat various musculoskeletal condition.
LLLT is a non-invasive light source treatment that generates a single wavelength of light. It emits no heat, sound, or vibration. It is also called photobiology or bio-stimulation. LLLT is believed to affect the function of connective tissue cells (fibroblasts), accelerate connective tissue repair and act as an anti-inflammatory agent. Lasers with different wavelengths, varying from 632 to 904 nm, are used in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders.
LLLT stimulates cell proliferation of fibroblasts, keratinocytes, endothelial cells and lymphocytes. In physiotherapy LLLT is use for pain relief, accelerated tissue regeneration and reduction of inflammation, it increases microcirculation and formation of new capillaries - The wound area receives more oxygen and nutrients to help with the natural wound healing process, promotes lymph system activity – this helps with detoxification of the wound without overtaxing the lymph system and prevents lymphoedema, cleans up dead cells: boosted blood circulation helps with cleaning up dead or damaged cells, including dead bacteria, promotes collagen and elastin production in the final wound healing phases, helps to release ATP (raw cellular energy) which gives energy to the damaged cells in the wound so they can heal better and faster.
We will be using a variety of learning from classroom based to practical with a focus on learning through understanding. This is a very practically based course as the very best learning comes through hands on, the feel of the horse and how they communicate with their bodyworker. the tactile feedback is key and this is achieved through practice with a lot of support to aid understanding and progression.
Students will explore the difference between true laser, therapy laser, Laser Diodes and LEDs. The physiological effects of lasers, based on the evidence will be reviewed and the emphasis will be on their effects in tissue repair and healing. Students will explore, in practical’s, clinical application areas, doses and practical application issues.
