📅 Course Length: 1 Hour 15 Minutes

Our Mentor Me: Professional Series is a deep dive into specific areas of the body and what we are looking for within these regions. We go through anatomy and function to help equine professionals understand the biomechanics specific to this region. In these courses, you will learn assessment techniques to evaluate the pelvis, and understand how these evaluations impact a horse's movement and functional balance. We will equate these imbalances back to what you’re feeling as a bodyworker or trainer, and how to differentiate between primary problems vs. secondary or compensatory issues. In this course, we will explore the mechanics of the sacroiliac (SI) joint, the balance between core tissue and lumbar stabilizers, and the hip  flexor complex. We will discuss ligamental stability of the SI joint, how external techniques can influence stability, and how range of motion assessments can both evaluate and activate postural changes in horses with imbalances.

📌 What You’ll Learn

✔️ Anatomy & Function – Understand the role of the pelvis, SI joint, and lumbar stabilizers
✔️ Biomechanics & Stability – Explore how ligaments, muscles, and movement affect the pelvis
✔️ Assessment Techniques – Learn how to evaluate SI joint function and range of motion
✔️ Identifying Common Imbalances – Differentiate primary dysfunctions vs. compensatory patterns
✔️ Treatment & Exercises – Implement activations and stretches to improve function
