EQUINE CRAINIOSACRAL THERAPY ~ The Essentials
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on, whole-body method of releasing restrictions around the brain and spinal cord to enhance central nervous system performance and allow the body to self-correct.
It was developed by an Osteopathic Physician and is hugely popular in Europe and quickly growing in Canada.
CST has a very powerful influence to facilitate the changes necessary for the body to be in balance naturally - it improves neurological function and proprioception.
It is beneficial for:
- Facial nerve paralysis
- Head shaking
- Head injuries and trauma
- Emotional problems
- Lameness
- TMJ issues
- Tinnitus
- Blocked Tear Ducts
- Cribbing
- Spinal Injuries
- Facial Release
- Organ Release
- Gelding Scars
- Body Pain and trauma
In this hands-on workshop, you will learn the theory behind Craniosacral Therapy ~ Complexities of the TMJ and Dentistry influence ~ Postural Imbalances, as well as how to ground and prepare yourself for a treatment as well as some Craniosacral Hands-on Placements.
