  • Thoughtfully Designed Practical Assignments

    Assignments are interactive, case-focused, and designed to reinforce key concepts — helping you move beyond theory into confident application. Each activity supports clinical reasoning, session flow, and real-world equine scenarios rather than rote memorization.

FAQ

  • Why is acupressure such a powerful modality for horses?

    Acupressure works directly with the nervous system and the body’s natural regulatory mechanisms rather than forcing change through pressure or manipulation. By stimulating specific acupoints along meridians, acupressure helps improve communication between the nervous system, muscles, organs, and connective tissue. This allows the horse’s body to release tension, regulate stress responses, and initiate healing in a way that is both gentle and effective.

  • What does acupressure actually do in the body?

    Acupressure influences the body on multiple levels. Physiologically, it supports circulation, lymphatic flow, and pain modulation. Neurologically, it helps calm the sympathetic nervous system and activate parasympathetic “rest and repair” responses. Energetically, it restores balanced flow through the meridian system, supporting both physical and emotional wellbeing. This multi-layered effect is why acupressure can support everything from mobility and performance to anxiety and recovery.

  • How is acupressure different from massage or myofascial work?

    While massage and myofascial techniques primarily address tissue directly, acupressure works through the nervous system and energetic pathways that influence how tissue responds. It requires significantly less physical effort while often creating deeper, longer-lasting results. Acupressure does not replace bodywork — it enhances it, making sessions more efficient and allowing practitioners to work smarter, not harder.

  • Can acupressure really help with both physical and emotional issues?

    Yes. Horses often hold physical tension and emotional stress together. Acupressure is uniquely effective because it addresses both simultaneously. Specific points help calm anxiety, reduce reactivity, support emotional processing, and create a sense of safety, while also influencing pain, mobility, digestion, and recovery. This makes acupressure especially valuable for performance horses, sensitive horses, and those in rehabilitation.

  • How will this certification benefit me as a practitioner?

    This certification adds a low-strain, high-impact modality to your practice that enhances results while protecting your body. Practitioners often find acupressure allows them to support more complex cases, extend results between sessions, and improve client satisfaction — all while reducing physical fatigue and burnout.

  • What makes this equine acupressure certification different?

Acupressure Student

“I have taken my Acupressure education with another school that is well known and felt I was missing something. I enrolled in Holistic Animal Studies Acupressure Certification Track and I regret it not being my first choice. The depth of this course is incredible, the instructors are knowledgable and committed to ensuring you feel supported and successful in your learning. I loved learning about the extra modalities to use with Acupressure like Photopuncture and Acu-Cupping. This modality has changed my practice right around. Owners love the results they see with their horses and dogs, and I love providing a modality that doesn't put a ton of strain on my body. Highly recommend this course! ”
