Sydney Madrigal of WOW Equine Therapy came to visit us in class this week! She took time out of her busy schedule to spend 3 days with us, and I’m so happy that she did. She’s located in Southern Oregon, and I hope that this video helps you get to know her better.

Did you know that the FDA approval for the Acuscope and Myopulse Therapy System follows the instruments themselves, and not the industry that they’re used in? The fact is, that it does! This means that the guidelines in place DO apply to animal applications, as well as human. Federal guidelines are rooted in scientific research to ensure patient safety, and the highest standards of efficacy. Teaching this topic aligns with the high standards of our program to set our students up for success.

✅ What they ARE approved for:
Non-invasive pain management, and neuromuscular/musculoskeletal conditions.

❌ What they are NOT approved for: Internal diseases and pathology, internal or invasive applications, “detox” (or electro-detoxification), or any illegal practice making false and unsubstantiated claims outside the proper scope of use.

✨This can be independently verified through the FDA.

We do not support any off-label use because the animal’s safety is our ultimate priority. Using the instruments incorrectly does not ensure safe applications for your animals. Make sure that you hold each other, and those who are working on your animals to the higher standards that they deserve.

I heard that I’m “mean”. Well, that’s debatable. Am I fun? Definitely! Meanwhile, this is me on Friday celebrating my students completing 100+ hours of their ATS training. 💃🏽

What an incredible experience sharing over 100 hours with these passionate ladies. I’m already so proud of the dedication they’ve shown. I can’t wait to see the massive impact they’re going to make helping horses with their new skills!

Keep chasing those dreams, ladies — the equine industry is a better place because of you!

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬

Lately, I've been asked multiple times about people offering human therapeutic services who are not qualified to do so. What's even more concerning is that many of these individuals are being told that it is legal to practice without formal licensing and credentials, which is simply not true. This is a critical issue that I feel needs to be addressed to empower people to understand the importance of the laws and regulations, and to be guided correctly.

When offering human therapeutic services with devices like the Acuscope and Myopulse (including the Equiscope, a model within this therapy system), it is absolutely necessary to understand the serious legal and safety requirements at both the state and federal levels. I make sure all of my students (for my human and animal divisions) are set up for success from the very beginning by discussing the topic of compliance and legalities. In fact, I will not train anyone on the human side unless they can meet their state's legal requirements and have the proper human calibrated instruments.

The instrument models within this therapy system are classified as Class II medical devices by the FDA. This isn't just a label, it's a classification that requires specific professional credentials and licensing for a reason. At this time, human therapeutic services are held to a much higher legal and safety standard than the animal industry. A training certification alone for human practitioners is not enough to practice legally. Due to the FDA approval, this is why we require training to sell these instruments to anyone in the animal industry as well, while also aligning the proper calibration for animal patients.

Here are a few key facts for why people need to meet the qualifications to be a human practitioner:

• 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐰. In the United States, you cannot legally offer human therapeutic services with these devices without the proper credentials and/or licensing in your state. This is in place to protect the public and ensure a high standard of care.

• 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐂𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥. These devices use advanced microcurrent and biofeedback technology. Without extensive training in anatomy, physiology, and pathology, a practitioner risks mistreating a condition, using incorrect settings, not understanding contraindications, or even causing harm. A lack of proper clinical understanding and professional conduct can have serious consequences.

• 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐄𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐍𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐲. All instruments by this manufacturer are precisely calibrated for their patient population, with distinct options for human or animal use. (Note: Animal Therapy Systems is the exclusive distributor for the “animal calibration” option, and there are several human distributors.) Using a device intended for animals on a human, or vice versa, will fail to produce optimized results and meet the superior standards of this advanced modality. This is a critical safety point, as the internal computer circuitry is uniquely programmed to the specific needs of either the human or animal patient. Cross-use is scientifically unsound and professionally irresponsible, and it creates a significant liability.

• 𝐋𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲. Operating a medical or therapeutic device without a license or the proper credentials can expose you to significant legal and financial risks if a client is injured, harmed, or has a negative reaction. You also can't get liability insurance to cover an illegal practice. If you do happen to obtain it under false pretenses, the policy is considered fraudulent and invalid.

• 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 & 𝐎𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬. If a sales representative tells you that you can legally offer these services without a license/credentials to sell you their equipment, please be aware and do your own research to protect yourself. Don't fall for a sales pitch that puts you and any future clients at risk.

I built my business in the professional sports and animal industries on a simple principle: success comes from a foundation of compliance, education, and professionalism. My journey wasn't a shortcut; I invested myself into obtaining advanced credentials, built relationships with teams and professionals, and continue to collaborate with other experts to ensure my services are safe and effective, and that my brand is reputable. This is why I focus exclusively on my specialties. Remember, your qualifications are the most valuable tools in your practice. I encourage you to always do your own research and prioritize safety. This is what truly increases the standards of each industry. Surround yourself with professionals who will guide you to success the right way, not with misleading information.

I encourage you to do your own research. Here is where you can start:

• 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬: Each state has its own licensing requirements for medical and health professions. You can look up the official boards for professions like physical therapists, chiropractors, or massage therapists to see what qualifications are required to use these types of devices. A great starting point is a directory of state licensing boards.

• 𝐔.𝐒. 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐫𝐮𝐠 𝐀𝐝𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐅𝐃𝐀): The FDA website provides detailed information on medical device classifications and regulations. You can search their database for specific devices to understand their intended use and any special controls required.

• 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐬: Consider consulting with a lawyer who specializes in health and medical device regulations in your state. They can guide you to what is needed in order to practice legally.

She has already successfully completed my OEPR Level 1 Course for continuing education following her ATS Equine Certification. She’s located in the Queensland region, and also travels.

Keep up the great work Michaela!

Gold Standard Acuscope is based out of Decatur, Texas and has done an amazing job with Anhidrosis cases. Ericka Boesel has thoroughly researched and dedicated herself to understanding this condition, it’s relation to the nervous system, and how to effectively and safely apply Acuscope and Myopulse sessions with her animal calibrated instruments (this also alleviates any concerns of overstimulation which is critical and can be counterproductive with these cases).

Great job Ericka!
