FES conferences
The FES conferences offer valuable opportunities to exchange knowledge and remain up to date within the specialized field of equine spinal-pelvic (dys)functioning, in wide perspectives, and strengthen professional connections.
Existing knowledge is summarized, new scientific research presented, followed by practical applications.
Highlighted topics in the past involved:
- developments in chiropractic: neurophysiology and functional neurology
- scientific developments in the mechanisms of action of chiropractic treatment
- clinical relevance of spinal-pelvic pathology
- clinical relevance related to advances in diagnostic imaging of the equine axial skeleton
- rehabilitation in general, and related to spinal-pelvic regions in human and veterinary medicine: goals, methods, science, practical guidelines, obstacles
- functional joint stability training in training and rehabilitation: shifts in relevance towards coordination versus strength and endurance
- equine rehabilitation from a business point of view
- biomechanics: interrelatedness of spinal-pelvic dysfunction and lameness
- and horse-tack-rider interaction
- value and threats of digital motion analysis.
The most recent conference 2025, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the FES program:
- reviewed the grown insights in equine spinal-pelvic dysfunctioning in the recent 2 decades
- involved presentations and demo’s on myofascial therapy, dryneedling
- and functional neurology as one of the developments influencing spinal manipulative therapy
- and labs sharing developments in diagnostic procedures and treatment techniques within the FES program.
