    Looking at canine postural assessment from a new perspective, examining muscle symmetry, bracing patterns and postural alignment. Linking this to common environmental situations that create dysfunctional movement patterns.


    Galen Myotherapy’s approach to hands-on techniques and its targeted application through understanding myofascial connections.

     

    Practical Day 1

    Live application on a wide variety of dogs including postural assessment that encompasses muscle symmetry and muscle tone into a targeted treatment plan. 

     

    Learning how to integrate and develop Positive PACT within a treatment protocol using real life scenarios.

     

    Assessment of canine physical integrity, observations and comparisons of movement.

     

    Practical Day 2

    Revisiting compensatory patterns due to injury, pathologies and environmental factors from a Galen perspective.

     

    Live demonstration of why functional anatomy is a keystone in the practical application of functional biomechanics and hands-on treatment. 


    Examining the context of myofascial connections within a hands-on treatment and functional biomechanics. Correctly interpreting hypertonia to offer a more accurate translation of dysfunctional movement patterns.
