Elevate your expertise in managing equine back pain with this in-depth CPD course.

Unlock the secrets to diagnosing and treating equine back problems in this comprehensive course designed for equine practitioners. The equine back is notoriously complex, with pain stemming from various interconnected structures and multi-factorial causes. This course contains a series of online lectures followed by a practical day which will provide clear, hands-on guidance for understanding these challenges.

Led by approachable, skilled experts, you’ll gain practical insights into diagnosing, imaging, and treating back pain in horses. You’ll also explore cutting-edge techniques for measuring back movement, including how it's assessed in elite equine athletes. Through interactive, small-group sessions, you'll gain invaluable hands-on experience to apply directly in your practice.

Join us to enhance your expertise and improve your diagnostic and therapeutic approach to equine back care!

This course consists of recorded webinars and a day of practical sessions. Please note: The online lectures are a pre-requisite for attending the onsite day (these will be available to view approximately 4 weeks prior to the practical day). These lectures allow you to learn at your own pace and can be listened to at a convenient time. This allows delegates to have more time once onsite for practical, hands-on teaching sessions. On the practical day, the tutors will be happy to answer questions relating to the online lectures, however to get through everything planned for the practical day, they will not be able to cover the content in the same level of detail as the online lectures. It is therefore imperative that all lectures are viewed in advance of attending.

By attending this course, you will gain a thorough understanding of the morphological and functional anatomy of the back and sacroiliac region, understand the principles about saddle fitting and rider biomechanics affecting performance, improve your imaging of the back and be able to optimise the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to back and sacroiliac problems.
