Duration: 45 hours

• Anatomy and biomechanics of the diaphragm, ribs and the sternal bone 
• The respiratory tract
• Salt-water balance

What will I learn?

You will learn the structural and functional anatomy and biomechanics of the diaphragm, the ribs and the sternal bone. 

You will gain a better understanding of the physiology and osteopathic importance of the diaphragm in relation to the parietal, visceral, cranio-sacral, respiratory, and circulatory systems, and how this results in adaptations of the equine body.

On the propaedeutic day, you will learn about the salt-water balance from an osteopathic perspective.
