Stammer Kinetics® - 2026: June and September at the Heimathaus Sittensen, Am Heimathaus 4, 27419 Sittensen, Germany

Stammer Kinetics® - the concept: The horse needs stability, without it it cannot move. Stammer Kinetic helps you to recognize and influence the various mechanisms of stability and their effects on the health and performance of the horse. The core element of Stammer Kinetics is a biomechanical model. This model explains the movement of the horse and represents it graphically. It combines the gear model for the dynamics of the horse's external form with the development of its kinetic energy through the suspension mechanism and coordination within its myofascial chains for functional stabilization.

•  Module I, Manual Therapy (Course T1), Saturday + Sunday, June 6^th + 7^th, 2026: Manual therapy according to the Stammer Kinetics concept is based on a completely new approach to active-dynamic myofascial mobilization. This technique aims to influence the relationship between flexibility and stability in favor of effective and shock-absorbing suspension. The therapist works almost exclusively in functional chains that are activated by specific techniques. Every form of mobilization is supported by stabilizing elements and can be accessed by the horse at the coordinative level. The horse is enabled to respond to specific impulses in a mechanically functional manner.

•  Module II, Fundamentals of medical training therapy for horses (Course T2), Saturday + Sunday, September 19^th + 20^th, 2026: We offer comprehensive basic knowledge of medical training therapy based on the latest scientific standards in human medicine. You will learn about the mechanisms by which horses organize kinetic energy within their bodies, as well as which stru
