The Canine 10-Step Myofascial Procedure provides you with an integrative treatment protocol which can greatly enhance the chiropractic treatment of dogs with musculoskeletal issues.

Myofascial treatment techniques focus on four important interrelated therapeutic goals:

  • Restore / optimize (connective tissue) motion
  • Pain relief
  • Reduce the tone of the sympathetic nerve system
  • Activate the immune system

In this course 10 therapeutic techniques will be explained step by step and afterwards practiced on dogs. Effective integration of these techniques with chiropractic will also be explained.

STAMMER©KINETICS - Functional Movement Analyses and Dynamic Myofascial Mobilization: June + September 2026

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 6th + 7th, 2026: Manual therapy according to the Stammer Kinetics concept is based on a completely new approach to active-dynamic myofascial mobilization.
  •  Module II, Fundamentals of medical training therapy for horses (Course T2), Saturday + Sunday, September 19th + 20th, 2026: We offer comprehensive basic knowledge of medical training therapy based on the latest scientific standards in human medicine.

Introduction to Cranio-Sacral Therapy for Animal Practitioners, Level I, 13.-14.04.2026

Introduction to Cranio-Sacral Therapy for Animal Practitioners, Monday and Tuesday, April 13th – 14th 2026

with Sílvia Martí Korff, DVM, Spain,  at the IAVC GmbH, Lengenbostel/Sittensen, Northern Germany

Course Topics Include:

  • History and foundations of Cranio-Sacral Therapy
  • Therapeutic Dialogue with Body Structures
  • Diagnostic scanings from the Intention
  • Learning to palpate the Cranio-Sacral Rythm and the Stillness of the Rhythm
  • Still Point Technique
  • Dural Tube diagnosis, and treatment through the Dural Tube
  • Tips to start combining Chiropractic with Cranio-Sacral Therapy

Cranio-sacral therapy is a very light-touch manual technique, used to evaluate the body through listening to the tissues, and invite them to change and heal themselves. It can be used to treat the physical body (subluxations, tensions in cranial sutures, facial tensions on the different body diaphragms, visceral tensions…) as well as the emotional self, through the somato-emotional release. These courses will teach you the diagnostic and therapeutic tools to do a full cranio-sacral therapy treatment, and also discuss how to integrate the various techniques with chiropractic.
We will practice on each other, as it is very important to feel within your own body how gentle and powerful cranio-sacral techniques are, to better comprehend its impact on your animal patients. Much of the course consists of guided "hands on" practical learning!
