CPD for Vets - Online
This is the CPD fully online version of the course, and is suitable for vets who would like to increase their knowledge, and support animal welfare with Galen treatment protocols.
Galen Myotherapists offer canine massage and functional biomechanical exercises and formulate management and rehabilitative programmes for dogs suffering from chronic conditions.
This course has been successfully running for nearly 20 years, and was the first externally accredited course specialising in Canine Myotherapy / Canine massage and rehabilitation.
You will learn how to assess posture, behaviour and functional movement patterns and importantly it will give you the diverse skills needed to apply effective massage techniques and rehabilitative treatment programs to support a dog’s muscular-skeletal health. You will also learn how to apply our revolutionary Positive PACT® treatment protocol.
Throughout your learning journey you will receive the backing and support of the most established clinical canine massage, biomechanics and rehabilitation training school in the UK. All our tutors have formal teaching qualifications and are committed to supporting you during your studies with us.

COURSE UNITS
Remote and Hands-on Practical We’ve created a supportive guided learning experience, which provides in-depth study and practical application of Galen Myotherapy, but also allows a period of supported independent study to allow the information time to embed.
All students undertake 4 x Pre-Practical Modules which can be booked from Unit 3 (theory unit) onwards of the Diploma.
These first 4 modules are delivered remotely through interactive webcasts, online seminars with discussion groups and Q&A sessions with some independent learning and full access and support from your dedicated tutor.
You’ll learn:* Human and canine postural assessment
* Functional anatomy and biomechanics
* Assessing superficial anatomy of the canine
* Assessing canine biomechanics in relation to loading and posture
* Functional movement patterns and identification of compensatory issues
* Impacts of environment on the musculoskeletal system
* In-depth learning of the relationship between pain and behaviour
* Theory and application of the Galen Comfort Scale©
* Positive PACT® treatment protocol (scientifically supported)
This unique,scientifically substantiated learning is an opportunity to gain a deep understanding of muscle dysfunction in both humans and canine.
Practical Modules
Module 5 onwards of your training will focus on developing your hands-on techniques, rehabilitative functional movement and exercises on a variety of dogs so you gain a plethora of hands-on experience so you can confidently apply Galen Myotherapy techniques.
You’ll learn:
* Practical anatomy from a functional and applied perspective
* Translating canine’s muscles, fascia and skeleton directly onto a dog
* Assessment of canine physical integrity, observations and comparisons of movement
* Massage technique application and palpation skills
This is delivered in small student cohorts through an online communication platform where there will be tailored and detailed individual feedback.
This enables each student's technique and application to receive personalised coaching, whilst providing the tutor with a clear view to observe the dog’s responses in real-time, without interruptions.
Case studies On completion of the practical you will complete 3 individual case studies.
These include:
* Visual postural and loading assessment - using photos and videos only
* Galen Comfort Scale© completion* 3 treatments for each case study
* Home environment and activity guidance
* Appropriate exercise programme in order to enhance rehabilitation or to help sustain correct kinetic movement patterning achieved through manual therapy
Your case studies will be discussed with a Galen Veterinary Surgeon or Galen registered tutor within the Vet Viva at the end of the course.
