COURSE DESCRIPTION
This intensive and hands-on, one-day programme is designed for equine practitioners who want to advance their diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities in sports medicine and rehabilitation with the world’s leading specialists, and apply these skills immediately in their daily clinical work.
With a strong emphasis on hands-on workshops and clinical panel discussions, this course provides a unique opportunity to learn and refine practical techniques under the guidance of international key opinion leaders in equine sports medicine and rehabilitation.
From ultrasound-guided joint injections, to objective portable gait analysis using Consteed’s revolutionary Smart Sneaker measuring ground reaction forces in real time, and the clinical application of modern rehabilitation modalities, each component of the programme is focused on delivering skills that can be implemented from day one after returning to practice.
Morning Lecture Sessions
The morning lecture sessions offer a concise, clinically focused overview of:
- Practical tips and techniques for ultrasound-guided injections
- New roles and applications of objective gait analysis
- Matching the most appropriate rehabilitation modalities with specific lesions
- Development of structured treatment plans and effective therapeutic monitoring
Clinical Case Panel Discussions
One of the highlights of the course is the Clinical Case Panel Discussions, where participants will engage directly with several world-leading specialists from diverse backgrounds.
These highly interactive sessions explore real-life clinical cases in an open and frank atmosphere, focusing on critical decision-making, treatment strategies, and optimisation of outcomes in everyday practice.
Afternoon Practical Sessions
The afternoon is dedicated to small-group practical sessions on live horses and high-fidelity anatomic replica simulators, ensuring a high level of individual hands-on participation and detailed instructor feedback.
Participants will rotate through the following stations:
- Ultrasound-guided cervical facet and hip joint injections
- Objective gait analysis in a clinical setting
- Hands-on use of key rehabilitation technologies, including laser therapy and ESWT
This Workshop Is Ideal For Veterinarians Aiming To:
- Improve confidence in performing advanced procedures
