The Masterclass seminar is an optional step on your learning journey in animal osteopathy. Under the guidance of practicing osteopaths, you will learn the most effective osteopathic techniques such as osteopathic articular balancing, short lever technique, functional technique, and cranial osteopathy as applied to equines and canines patients. By attending hands-on seminars, you will reach a high-level of competency that is distinct to the LCAO community and earn a Associate Certificate in Advanced Osteopathic Techniques (MCCA OST.)
Over nine intensive practical days, you will master the assessment and treatment skills, advancing your understanding of osteopathic philosophy and reasoning. You will watch and mirror numerous demonstrations on different animals and conditions. Through individual tutoring sessions and open discussions, you will be encouraged to develop treatment styles relevant to the specialization of your practice.
The content of the seminars has been developed using solid osteopathic philosophy and reasoning. The methods taught involve techniques that have been tried, tested and passed on to student around the world by Professor McGregor’s over his 38+ years of outstanding career in animal osteopathy.
Admission to the Masterclass is via an application process and is open to
graduates and students of the LCAO International and PG Diploma programs. Other applicants
