Wolds Equine Rehabilitation & Training
Approved Preferred Educational
Provider
Equine Sports & Rehabilitation Massage
Registered Practitioner Course
IAAMB/ACWT Approved

Registered Practitioner Award
All horses can benefit from sports and rehabilitation massage. Equine massage therapists
employ massage techniques on competition, leisure and companion horses. When muscles
are overused or misused, they can become sore or overstretched. The horse may then
compensate by improperly using other muscles or tensing up, leading to potential injury,
restricted motion, discomfort and decreased performance quality. This course is designed to
give students knowledge of different massage techniques and equine anatomy to locate and
treat muscle strains, injuries and tension. By promoting muscle relaxation, circulation and
healing, we can improve the horses performance, balance and comfort.
Massage can be helpful in maintaining health and preventing injury in addition to addressing
problems. Students will learn how to prevent muscle knots ensuring that muscles can fully
contract and relax using the extensive course material provided studying the intellectual art
of equine massage. The following four modules along with the practical training days will
guide students through the stages needed to become competent Equine Sports &
Rehabilitation Massage Therapists, upon successful Graduation with Wolds Equine
Rehabilitation & Training, Certification and Professional Registration will be issued.

Congratulations on deciding to enquire about the Wolds Equine Rehabilitation & Training,

There are four home study modules to complete which can be done at a pace to suit you.
Each module carries a total of 10 credits. The Qualification requires you to attend five
compulsory practical training days which are held throughout the year. Each training day
holds 10 credits. We aim to be as flexible as possible with these training dates. Some people
choose to block these days, whilst other students like to spread the days out equally during
their study period. Alternatively, for the more experienced students who hold qualifications
such as BHS Stage 2 or equivalent and human massage qualifications, the option of 3 semi
private practical days may be offered in place of the 5 group days. Your certificates to
support this would need to be submitted with your booking form. Training dates available
will be regularly updated on our website.
