PHYSIOTHERAPY MASTERCLASS ON THE EQUINE BACK AND PELVIS Mini Module

Online Mini Module – Physiotherapy Masterclass for Qualified Physiotherapists and Veterinary Surgeons on the Equine Back and Pelvis

In February 2026, we will be offering a Physiotherapy Masterclass on the Equine Back and Pelvis, aimed at both qualified Physiotherapists* and Equine Clinicians looking to refresh their knowledge of the assessment and treatment options available in this common area of practice. The weeks will focus on revising back and pelvis pathology before reviewing current approaches to diagnosis, assessment and initial management from both professional perspectives. Common clinical cases and the principles behind their rehabilitation will be addressed in week 5, and the over-arching theme throughout the module will be one of professional collaboration and the ‘team approach’ to maximise clinical outcomes.

Course Description

 

This fully online CPD mini-module is tailored for professionals wishing to enhance, develop and consolidate their clinical knowledge and understanding in this area. 25 hours of CPD will be delivered across 4 weeks in a fun and interactive way, with online lectures, discussion boards, weekly MCQ tests and 2 live case-based Zoom meetings available to support your learning. Participants will gain access to the University of Liverpool online Library for the remainder of the current academic year (until mid-July 2026) allowing easy access to evidence-based research in their chosen clinical fields.
