CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach that focuses on subtle tissue restrictions and mobility within the interconnected structures of the body.
The craniosacral system is commonly described in relation to the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord, extending through the cranial and spinal regions to the sacrum. In equine bodywork, this approach considers the relationship between these structures and the body's overall movement and function.
My work uses light, attentive contact to explore areas of restriction and tension, with the aim of supporting tissue mobility, body awareness and the horse's ability to move comfortably.

How CranioSacral Therapy May Support Your Horse
CranioSacral Therapy may be incorporated into an individualized bodywork session when appropriate, with consideration for:
Posture and movement restrictions — Areas of tension that may influence movement quality and mobility.
Head and jaw tension — Restrictions around the poll and jaw that may be relevant to overall comfort and movement.
Compensation patterns — Subtle restrictions that may be considered alongside findings elsewhere in the body.
Recovery support — As a complementary approach alongside appropriate veterinary care and rehabilitation following injury or altered movement.
DISCLAIMER:
Equine bodywork is intended to complement, not replace, appropriate veterinary care. The Equine Bodyworker does not diagnose medical conditions, prescribe medications or supplements, or perform chiropractic adjustments.
If your horse is recovering from an illness, injury, surgery or lameness, or is experiencing intermittent lameness, please obtain veterinary clearance before scheduling bodywork or introducing related exercises. Your veterinarian can help determine whether bodywork and any planned activity are appropriate for your horse.
The horse's health, comfort and well-being remain the priority throughout every session.
