Craniosacral Therapy For Horses

Craniosacral therapy is very effective on horses. As well as clearing localised muscle pain, CST is also more able to get to the source of the problem which usually stems from irritation of the central nervous system.

CST can also be very helpful when there has been an accident or past trauma during training, or pregnancy, in relieving not only the physical pain, but also balancing the body's energetics, and calming the emotional responses.
