Canine Spine: Advanced Clinical Assessment CPD Event for Vets, Veterinary Professionals and Animal Osteopaths.
Course Overview:
This workshop will next run on 27th and 28th November 2026.
This two-day workshop is ideal if you:
• Have difficulty localising spinal dysfunction within complex biomechanical cases.
• Wish you could assess spinal joints and associated musculature more effectively.
• Feel that diagnostic imaging results don’t always correlate with clinical presentation.
• Have limited access to structured training in spinal palpation, mobility testing and functional assessment.
Join us for an immersive, face-to-face small-group 2-day CPD event designed to refine and elevate your clinical assessment of the canine spine.
Through a blend of theory, demonstration, and hands-on practical sessions, this workshop will deepen your understanding of spinal anatomy, arthrokinematics, muscle testing, passive assessment and clinical localisation, helping you approach clinical cases with more confidence, accuracy and efficiency.
This is a relaxed, discussion-rich environment where you can ask questions, explore case examples, and practise techniques under close guidance — ideal for professionals who enjoy learning through doing.
When is the workshop?
This workshop will run on 27th and 28th November 2026. The first campaign run will go out today. Contact us for more details: [email protected]
