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.

The Horse in Positive Tension
Did you know that traditional ways of teaching rider position and horse movement do not actually work with the biomechanical system that is horse and rider?
In an illustrated study of horse-and-rider movement like no other, physical therapist and equine movement specialist Stefan Stammer helps riders better understand the principles of energy and motion happening within the horse. By forming new mental images for the rider, Stammers‘s goal ist to profoundly impact the rider’s daily work with her horse so that it is harder for her to make common mistakes or interfere with the horse’s natural mechanismus. With correct support oft he cycle of kinetic energy within the horse, the outer shape of horse and rider together achieve what is called “positive tension“ – the rhythmic stimalation of all the neuromuscular functions necessary to perform
harmoniously and at peak ability.
