Hi! Just came across your video. Awesome journey! I saw a video of a therapist working on a horse’s hamstring strain and was amazed in the results. Compared to humans, the animals won’t have that fear constrain (pain science) and should get faster results. I’m an ortho/sports PT in my early 40s in solo/cash private practice. I’m thinking about slowing down in about 10 years and this is something I would like to do part time when I semi-retired. Financially, would it make sense? Is equine Therapy mostly self pay?
Awesome! Yes Equine PT is all self pay. I can be as busy as I want to be. When I attend events, it makes for a nice little passion project that helps pay for my horse habit. Good luck and let me know if you need any help!
Hi, I’m 18 years old and have been quite lost for a minute on a career that I want to pursue, people would either tell me to go with something I love or something that paid well so I’ve been a bit conflicted, however I have had interest in being a physical therapist for horses more specifically racehorses. But I don’t really know where to start, what do you recommend?
I absolutely love being a physical therapist for both people and horses. After studying human movement, anatomy, and kinesiology- applying it to the horse is so much easier. So I recommend PT school, keep working on your horse skills, then take the certification to become an equine Pt
To become a Certified Equine Rehab Practitioner, at this time, you need to be a PT, vet or vet tech, but you could look into Summer Nicole Terry’s programs. Not sure how much she posts on RUclips, but look it up on facebook- she posts a bunch of content and information about her certification program. If your looking for a job in Nebraska, we are hiring a PTA 😉
What’s the difference between a Stretching instructor at a gym vs a physical therapist? I want to run a 30 min stretching class. Hips. Shoulders. Etc. Some people are telling me to get certified online as a personal trainer. Like ACE. And then shadow for a while. What I don’t want to do is sell content online, I’d rather practice as I think removing parts, like weights from a stretch is bad philosophy. I’m in the twin cities. Thanks
A physical Therapist has a degree specifically in Physical Therapy. It involves undergraduate work, then getting into an accredited PT program to study for approximately 3 more years. Total post secondary education time is around 7 years and you get done with a doctorate in PT. It is a long process, but with that degree you can work in private outpatient clinics, schools, hospitals, for professional sports teams, nursing homes, - virtually anywhere. It has been a wonderful career for me, but it is not for everyone.

Great story! Glad you do both for horses and people.

I’m a licensed PTA, have you heard of certifications for PTA’s?
