Stefan Stammer focuses on the analysis of movement in
both sport and pleasure horses, then applies physical therapy techniques suited
to their individual requirements. He is trained in both human physical therapy,
with early work based in
rehabilitation centers that specialized in extended outpatient physical therapy
for orthopedic diseases and sports injuries, and
equine osteopathy. He has been working primarily with horses since 1999. Besides
his clinical practice, Stammer is a popular speaker and has presented at
numerous national and international events at prestigious venues that include the University of Veterinary
Medicine in Zurich, Oregon State University, the DOKR (German Olympic Committee
for Equestrianism), the FN (German National Equestrian Federation), the US
Eventing Association, and the International Congress on Veterinary and Animal
Sciences (ICVAS). He is actively developing physical therapy courses
and programs in cooperation with veterinary clinics in Germany, Switzerland,
and the United States, focusing on rehabilitation methods for horses.
