Trigger Point Therapy for Horses

4 Hours CE/CPD | Online Course with Andy Eckley

Horses, like humans, can develop muscular trigger points that may contribute to discomfort, restricted movement, altered performance, compensation patterns, and changes in behaviour.

Trigger Point Therapy for Horses provides a practical introduction to trigger point theory and treatment principles as they apply to equine care, helping learners better understand common soft tissue issues and how they may affect comfort and movement.

Presented by Andy Eckley, this course is designed for massage and manual therapists, horse owners, carers, rehabilitation professionals, and anyone involved in the care and wellbeing of horses.

Course Overview

Across this 4-hour CE/CPD course, participants will explore trigger point theory as it applies to horses, including how trigger points may develop, how they may influence movement and comfort, and how treatment principles can be adapted for equine clients.

The course combines a detailed overview of equine trigger point concepts with a fully illustrated trigger point locator, course text, and over 120 minutes of step-by-step treatment tutorials presented by Andy Eckley.

Students will learn how to approach equine trigger point therapy with care, observation, sensitivity, and appropriate professional boundaries, whether they are licensed therapists, horse owners, carers, or professionals working in equine wellbeing.

Supported by video classes, a fully illustrated course text, companion course, lesson quizzes, reflective-learning online exam, certification where applicable, certificate of completion, and lifetime access, this course provides a structured and practical learning experience for those interested in equine trigger point therapy.
