What is WAEO?

Empowering Equine Osteopathy Worldwide

Welcome to the Worldwide Alliance of Equine Osteopaths (WAEO), where passion for equine well-being unites with a global vision. We are a 501c4 Mutual Benefit Corporation that serves as a dynamic force within the Equine Osteopathy community. Our commitment extends beyond borders, creating meaningful connections, educational platforms, and a shared mission to advance the practice of Equine Osteopathy.

The Board

Our WAEO Board is composed of volunteer Equine Osteopaths who have achieved the EDO status by passing rigorous exams set forth by the International Registry of Equine Osteopaths (IREO). These passionate individuals come together from around the globe, dedicating their time and expertise to steer WAEO's initiatives.

Meeting monthly, they discuss future plans, new membership benefit ideas, fund-raising opportunities and future conference planning. There is always room for more Delegates around the world to participate in one or all of these activities!

What is Osteopathy?

"Osteopathy is the scientific knowledge of anatomy and physiology, applied through the trained and experienced hands of the therapist to help the suffering patient after strain, overstrain, shock, accident mechanical disorders and wounds.

A system of 'engineering' of the whole human body, that keeps communications with the brain open, that prevents all possible stasis or congestion of blood and fluid "
