MINI COURSE ONLINE

EQUINE DIAPHRAGM

The diaphragm is arguably the most important muscle in the horse's body yet often overlooked as primary. Dysfunction in the diaphragm is one of the leading causes of lower back pain and contributes to restriction in breathing and circulation especially in the ridden horse! 

This online mini-course will guide you through basic anatomy and physiology of the diaphragm including an assessment protocol and simple techniques that anyone can learn.
