What is WAEO?

Equine Osteopathy is the specific application of the principles and standards developed in human osteopathy, translated, adapted and modified to the unique structure and physiology of the equine. Equine Osteopathy is a manual therapy that works successfully with veterinary medicine to aid horses in staying healthy even with the unnatural demands that are placed on them in their life with people.

Equine Osteopathy looks at the horse as a whole, using the scientific understanding of the Autonomic Nervous System to help find primary issues affecting health. 

Using Osteopathy helps find and correct imbalance in the joints, muscles and viscera to re-establish homeostasis in the horse, thus restoring function to the systems of the body.

In the past, WAEO focused on hosting educational conferences for international exchanges of ideas. As the World changes, WAEO continues to change with it by providing alternative on-line venues. As WAEO grows, opportunities grow: research grants, online educational webinars, establishing an international practitioner network, collecting resources for members, forming relations with Continuing Education schools and institutes. As the membership grows, so does WAEO’s mission to assist.
