The Vluggen Institute for Equine Osteopathy and Education

The Vluggen Institute for Equine Osteopathy is where I was trained! This institute is dedicated to creating exemplary equine osteopaths in art, knowledge, capability, and expertise, with the integrity to the horse, the horse community, and the equine osteopathy in mind, through the highest intensive education possible. Equine Osteopathy is regulated and verified by the Worldwide Alliance of Equine Osteopaths (WAEO) and the International Register for Equine Osteopathy (IREO®). The Vluggen Institute promotes and educates Equine Osteopathy as an independent profession, but strongly promotes the conjunction between Equine Osteopathy and veterinary medicine. The school is international and thus has been established as a Private Membership Association. Dr. Janek Vluggen D.O. MRO.-D BSc(Hons), Founder and principal instructor of The Vluggen Institute, is recognized as the leading expert in the field of modern Equine Osteopathy! He graduated as a human osteopath D.O., from the International Academy of Osteopathy in Ghent Belgium, where he was trained and taught extensively in the importance of the visceral system in relation to the skeleton system according to the visceral concepts of Jean Pierre Barral D.O.MRO-F. The Elite Equestrian published a cool article about Dr. Vluggen and his institute, check it out here.
