Regulations
 
Equine body work is not a replacement for veterinary care and does not intend to treat a condition or identify an illness or issue. 
 
By law veterinary permission must be gained before any massage work can be carried out, this is to protect you and your horse. 
 
The Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966/ The Veterinary Surgeons Exemption Order 1962 states that ALL complementary therapists (including physiotherapists, chiropractors and osteopaths) must have your vet's permission before they can work on your horse.
 
Before starting any massage work I will need to contact your vet and ask for permission or require you to sign a form stating that you have spoken to your vet and they have allowed the work to go ahead. 
 
All you need to do is ask your vet if they are happy for your horse to recieve massage and stretching. 
 

Equinenergy

 

I studied as a EBW with Equinenergy, the UK branch of Equinology.com. 

Throughout my training the importance of conduct, professionalism and working safely was emphasised. 

 

The title EBW (Equine Body Worker) is recognised internationally, in the UK it is recognised by the McTimoney Chiropractic Association and the Society of Osteopaths in Animal Practice.

 

Equinenergy offer follow up training courses which I will attend to continue increasing my knowledge and adding to my skills.  I attended a two day course on anatomy and physiology in December 2008 and hope to learn Myofascial release techniques in the future.
