Love The Benefits of Craniosacral For Your Horse And Dog

What is CranioSacral Therapy & How Can it Help My Animal?

This hands-on therapy for horses and dogs is based upon the principles that are used in the human application of CranioSacral therapy. It's a holistic healing method which focuses upon the central nervous system, and works by using light touch to optimize body movement. When applied correctly, this gentle and subtle technique can be highly effective in addressing a number of conditions in the horse or dog.

Given the very gentle hand pressure used, it can often seem to an onlooker that nothing is happening however, the skin will often twitch under the practitioner's hands. The practitioner must be able to feel the smallest movements by the horse's or dog's body, and so must be very in-tune with the animal.
