Course Description
This 3-day course, taught by Tom Mayes, delves into the foundational role of the vascular system in equine health, teaching students to identify and clear vascular dysfunctions to allow for deeper healing and restoration of balance throughout the body. Integrating CranioSacral, Visceral, and Vascular Manipulation techniques, students will learn hands-on methods to assess and influence tissue at a deeper level. A central focus is on mastering the rebalancing of vascular lesions, a critical skill that enhances the effectiveness of osteopathic work. In addition, the course explores the emotional and physical patterns held within the thoracic organs—heart, pericardium, and lungs—addressing both the structural and emotional roots of dysfunction to promote true holistic healing.
Prerequisite: IET Craniosacral Techniques (IET CST) Course

This course is typically paired with IET OSTEO 2 Course, which follows directly afterward. It spans 3 days, with a two-day break before starting the 3-day OSTEO 2 course. Taking both courses together is an intensive journey that requires a deep level of commitment. It’s perfectly fine to approach them one at a time and take your own path to mastering these techniques.
