Training Seminars for Animal Therapists, Equine Osteopaths and Veterinarians
Dry Needling for horses and dogs at the centre for innovative advanced training in Germany
To learn from a pro means to learn from and with Andrea Schachinger
So much is certain. From the courses and Seminars by Andrea Schachinger, you take home a whole lot of valuable knowledge. Both theoretical AND practical. You will learn a lot and simultaneously profit from insights in the results of decades of research and the treatment of horses. To put it clearly, look forward to:
Exciting bits of theory and practice. Exchanging experiences with a well-known equine researcher and/or her licensed tuitors. Useful equine therapy knowledge. And all of this presented lively, vivid and in a sympathetic way. Because we dislike boring, dull courses just as much as you do.
Who attends our courses
People with a good basic knowledge of horses or animals in general. Veterinarians, Animal Physical Therapists, Equine Osteopaths, Equine Chiropractors. Because one cannot treat animals without solid basic knowledge.
After successfully finishing one of our seminars on professional animal health care, our participants receive their personal certificate. This doubles as the quality mark for the applied approach by means of the Schachinger Method®. It can only be obtained from us, the Centre for Dry Needling.
Professional seminar on Equine Dry Needling - Schachinger Method®
This course has been designed with veterinarians and professional therapists in mind, meaning: participants having solid knowledge of topological and functional anatomy of the motion system (focus point skeletal muscles) and neuro-vascular structures.
The explicit horse treatment method has been independently developed in co-operation with veterinarians, physical therapists and trainers in the Netherlands and Germany, as well as American doctors and scientists in humane medicine. Details of dog treatment and the transfer of equine knowledge to canine anatomy are covered in the seminar as well.
