Myofascial Kinetic Lines in the Horse and Dog seminar

Seminar focus

What this seminar covers

Understanding the fascia system and its function in relation to locomotion and posture is essential in advancing our knowledge and clinical understanding.

The fascia system integrates the body in a three-dimensional network, which extends to all structures in the body. The functions of the fascia are numerous and span from purely mechanical to many interconnected functions, as well as communications with the central nervous system.

In this course kinetic myofascial lines in the horse and dog will be presented and explained in theory and in practice. Inspired by Dr. Tom Myers (Myofascial Trains), eleven equine and canine myofascial kinetic lines have been dissected and isolated.

Clinically addressing these kinetic lines as part of our therapeutic protocols can positively effect the body’s ability to change and heal.

Detailed knowledge of the lines is a valuable tool to evaluate, understand and influence the body balance, functionality and compensatory mechanisms under normal and pathological conditions.

Meet the instructor

Prof. Dr. Vibeke Sødring Elbrønd

Prof. Dr. Elbrønd graduated from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Copenhagen and has a PhD in Anatomy and Physiology.

She is Associate Professor in Anatomy and Biochemistry at the Department of Veterinary and Animal Science. In 2008 she completed the Veterinary Chiropractic program with the International Academy of Veterinary Chiropractic (IAVC). Since then her research field is biomechanics and functional anatomy, with a focus on fasciae functionality and integrity of fasciae.

She has lectured at several conferences, courses and workshops on Fascia. In 2007 she was certified by the International Veterinary Chiropractic Association (IVCA) and in 2017 by International Veterinary Acupuncture Society (IVAS). Besides working at the University, she runs a small practice where she treats the locomotion system of dogs and horses using manual therapies such as chiropractic and fasciae release as well as laser and acupuncture therapies.
