Intensive practical CPD for Canine Professionals
Add more tools to your toolkit and upskill your knowledge of complex biomechanical dysfunctions and accompanying compensatory patterns. Learn how to apply Galen Myotherapy’s targeted hands-on techniques and functional biomechanics through incorporating postural analysis and the understanding of myofascial connections.
You will learn how to utilise our unique Positive PACT treatment protocol and how empowering a dog through choice can deepen the therapeutic relationship thus aiding a dog’s recovery.
This attended course run by Julia Robertson is for experienced canine professionals looking to upskill their practical application. It is 2 days of intensive hands-on training using real life scenarios with 4 hours of pre learning which can be accessed through our online learning platform.
