Canine MFR
Saturday & Sunday
27/05/23 & 28/05/23
This 14 hour CPD is provided by Rebeccah Baylis from LGS & Jo Rose from Rose Therapies
Day 1: Saturday 27/05/23 will be online via Zoom for theory based learning with Jo Rose from Rose Therapies.
Day 2: Sunday 28/05/23 will consist of practical application guided by Rebeccah Baylis from LGS in Somerset.
Myofascial release (muscle fascia release) provides an indirect, non intrusive approach to soft tissue manipulation; gently moving tissue at the surface level, releasing tight fascia & helping to stimulate the body’s ability to re-align itself.
Fascia is the tissue that surrounds & connects all of the structures in the body. This connective tissue can become dehydrated, hardened & stuck.
Restrictions can develop in the fascia from trauma, poor posture & repetitive strain. During a myofascial release session, a low load stretch is put into the tissue for a period of approximately 3 minutes to allow the tissue to rehydrate & release.
This is a very relaxing & effective therapy, facilitating the body’s innate healing mechanisms to realign bony structures & release deep seated tension & trauma.
This technique provides an effective addition / alternative to massage for the more sensitive animals & sometimes proves to be better than other physical therapies at releasing stubborn areas of tightness, allowing joints to realign.
This course is aimed at all qualified canine physical body workers (canine massage therapists, physiotherapists, musculosketal therapists etc) as CPD training.

Equine Pole Workshop
Saturday 10th June - 9.30am - 4.30pm
This 7 hour CPD day in Somerset is provided by Rebeccah Baylis from LGS & Trudi Dempsey
This is a full theory & practical day looking at how pole work can support the ridden equine along side rehabilitation, strengthening & training.
Trudi: As a gymnastic dressage coach & behaviour consultant Trudi uses poles in a wide range of situations. Pole work supports balance, proprioception, coordination & flexibility but there is an often missed extra when pole work is trained with behaviour in mind.
Introduced carefully & systematically, pole work training creates confidence & trust in the handler/rider.
Trudi promotes the idea of horses learning to be responsible for their own balance without the need for any rope or rein pressure.
During the workshop we will look at:
• Basic learning theory for rein/rope handling skills
• How to position yourself to support your horse when working on the ground
• Simple exercises for balance
• Introducing bend & flexion
• Poles in series to benefit rhythm & regularity
• Proprioception exercises
• Pole box exercises in preparation for lateral work
From a Therapist eye we will:

Massage is such a super therapy & one I use every day in my work with animals.
At LGS we are now teaching Merishia Massage.
Why study Merishia Massage? Incorporating Swedish and Sports Massage Techniques. The course also focuses on deep tissue mobilisation techniques, releasing tension in the muscle and other soft tissues and enhancing movement of the joints. The techniques can be used to aid sports performance, support rehabilitation and improve general wellbeing.
Massage is a wonderful way to achieve relaxation and reduce the risk of injury.
Learning to massage enables YOU to assess where there is tension and discomfort, and then work on releasing those areas with simple but extremely effective techniques.
We are only taking small groups to enable a friendly but professional approach enabling students to gain the most from the practical learning tasks. You are also supported with a comprehensive online resource package including videos, diagrams, quizzes and handout material.
The 6 unit course takes approximately a year to complete combining theory and practical sessions covering assessment, massage, stretching and mobilisation techniques that will improve an animal’s suppleness and capabilities, aid in rehabilitation from injury and help to maintain or improve performance and wellbeing in life.
2023/24 intake starts this September and the practical dates will be Saturdays for the Equine group and Sundays for the Canine group.
This is a Level 4 Diploma Canine and Equine Merishia Massage course approved for further education accredited with NCFE (Ofqual regulated)
Whether you are a horse or dog owner that would like to improve the well-being and health of your animal or if you are looking to start a new career or add to your skills and are interested, please get in touch.
We would love to have you learn with us and work with our beautiful herd of horses and our gorgeous pack of dogs on the Devon/ Somerset border while you gain your qualification.
