Greetings!

Without practical application, knowledge is useless. The problem with the practical application of advanced research studies is that they are applied through traditional riding and training principles. Yet, the findings of most studies are precisely that these riding and training techniques fail to prepare efficiently the horses' physique for the athletic demands of the performances. The outcome is injuries.

It was necessary to find a virgin land, free of preconceptions and unfounded opinions. We selected the work in hand for three reasons.

 

First, the in hand therapy can be applied by riders and non-riders as well, which is the case for most therapists.

 

Second, never any in hand technique ever allowed controlling the horse's vertebral column with such accuracy and efficiency.

 

Third, this technique greatly engages the horse's intelligence. Sophisticated coordination of the horse's physique can only be achieved guiding the horse's mental processing toward precise body coordination.

 

The source of the Science of Motion was performances, how to better prepare better athletes. The application to soundness imposed itself. The first symptom of sacroiliac dysfunction is poor performances. Without knowledge, the rider attributes lack of performance to behavior. With the knowledge offered in this course and the capacity to apply such knowledge, riders, trainers and therapists can identify the source of the problem and reeducate the horse. Furthermore, riders and trainers can prevent the problem.

 

We are proud to present,

 

The In Hand Therapy Course 

 

IHTC

The In Hand Therapy Course 

        A zest of classicism and a large body of science.

 

A one year course of Corrective Biomechanics 

In Hand Therapy Course (IHTC) is designed for therapists anxious to further their knowledge as well as riders/trainers interested in extending their ability to reeducate horses and prevent injuries. IHTC provides both, knowledge and the practical application of knowledge.

 

 

Three monthly studies, - "In Hand Technique" - "Equine biomechanics and corrective biomechanics" - "Case study"

 

-The In Hand Technique is the zest of classicism. The technique is inspired from General Decarpentry's Academic Equitation and updated to actual knowledge of the equine physiology.

 

-This specific in hand technique allows accessing and influencing the horse's vertebral column mechanism. (Most limbs kinematics abnormalities originate from improper functioning of the horse's thoracolumbar spine).

 

-Monthly instructive videos teach first the basic and then, the many subtleties of the technique. (It does not take long to teach the basics, however, there is a lot more to this technique than walking next to the horse performing some movements. The in hand education focuses on achieving sophisticated control of the horse's vertebral column mechanism.)

 

The continuing education series (biomechanics) explains,

- How the horse's physique is designed to work, (functional horse).

- Kinematics abnormalities leading to injuries

- Kinematics abnormalities created by training misconceptions.

 

For instance, the first study explains and demonstrates the hind and front limbs braking and propulsive activities, how they can be modified and enhanced. The next study focuses on the management and forward transmission of the thrust generated by the hind legs forward through the vertebral column, etc.

 

The case studies are not necessarily about in hand work. Their purpose is to demonstrate analytic and thought processes leading to the source of the kinematics abnormality causing injury. No successful therapy can be completed without addressing the root of the problem. However, it is not always easy to identify the source of the kinematic abnormalities.

 

-IHTC is a twelve month program sanctioned at the end by a certificate of completion.

 

-The monthly timeframe selected for this course, allows time to gradually master the technique. The in hand technique is sophisticated and demands practice.

 

-The course can be started anytime. The twelve month course starts at the date of purchase. The three monthly studies, "In hand Education", "Biomechanics and Corrective Biomechanics", and "Case Studies", follows a progressive order of difficulty.

 

-Monthly studies are DVDs (shipped via UPS)and/or PDF files (downloaded on computer).

 

-The course provides information that cannot be found anywhere else. Some of the videos and documents are exclusive to the IHTC.

 

-IHTC's students have a 30% reduction for the Immersiom weekends scheduled during the time of the course and all of the Science of Motion's publications that are not included in the IHTC.

About Jean Luc Cornille
Jean Luc Cornille M.A.(M.Phil) has gained worldwide recognition by applying practical science to the training of the equine athlete. Influenced by his background as a gymnast, Jean Luc deeply understands how equine training can be enhanced by contemporary scientific research. A unique combination of riding skill, training experience and extensive knowledge of the equine physiology enables Jean Luc to "translate" scientific insights into a language comprehensible to both horse and rider. This approach has been the trademark of his training. Click here for more
