Osteopathy is a comprehensive system of healthcare that encompasses the whole being. As such, it is essential that anyone studying osteopathic techniques for animals must be well read in anatomy, orthopaedics, neurology and the pathological processes that cause maladies in the animal group being studied. That is why we don’t teach both equine and canine together.
Level two (compulsory modules) comprise 7 modules that complete the baseline toolkit for an animal practitioner.
Level two in its entirety ensures that practitioners can assess and treat a wide range of maladies, safely and competently. In these modules, students will learn how to integrate osteopathic concepts, advanced limb, and spinal assessment. They will also learn how general health screening, pathophysiology, functional neurology and advanced limb/spine and neurological testing. Furthermore, students will be taught Balanced Ligamentous Tension for the animal patient, veterinary intervention, and advanced clinical reasoning.
