Equine rehabilitation focuses on restoring the health of horses suffering from physical injury. The process requires knowledge of both the veterinary and physical therapy fields. Northeast Seminars prepares veterinarians, vet techs, physical therapists, physical therapy assistants and athletic trainers to work in the rewarding field of equine rehabilitation. Northeast Seminars offers certification in equine rehabilitation through the University of Tennessee Certificate Program In Equine Rehabilitation.

Equine rehabilitation draws upon principles common to the rehabilitation of humans. Just as in humans, equine rehabilitation requires knowledge of physical anatomy and non-invasive therapies to speed the healing process. A certified equine rehabilitation practitioner restores a horse's strength and range of motion by applying a variety of therapies including heat, cold, and massage.

Unlike humans, horses cannot describe exactly what ails them. As a result, an equine rehabilitation practitioner must also be knowledgeable of equine behavior and handling. If you are not an experienced equine handler, you will receive hands-on training in preparation for advanced course work. Even if you have previous experience working with horses, you will benefit greatly by brushing up your skills in a handling course.

Northeast Seminars recognizes that training equine rehabilitation practitioners is critical to helping animals recover from injury or illness. Our highly qualified instructors are equally dedicated to this cause. By introducing more qualified equine rehabilitation practitioners into the field, the demand to improve the lives of horses also builds amongst owners and equestrians. We invite you to join in this rewarding effort by continuing your education in the field of equine rehabilitation.
