Equine Massage Therapy

Whether you are interested in starting a career in equine massage or already in the field and wish to add certification to your credentials, this one weekend per month course will blend pedagogy with experiential learning to cover critical aspects of this discipline, leading to certification in the area.

Structured as a five-hour per session Saturday and Sunday course, you will begin with an examination of equine anatomy and musculature and proceed to basic hands-on techniques to understand common conditions and pathologies. Several field trips are part of the program, including visits to local horse barns. Case studies and presentations will be part of the final evaluation. Students interested in pursuing this course of study should contact the Office of Continuing and Professional Studies at cps@delval.edu.
