The therapy focuses on reducing tension and stress in the
meningeal membrane and its fascial connections to enhance
the functioning of the Craniosacral system, a fluid circulatory
system that surrounds and protects the brain and spinal
cord. The Craniosacral therapist subtly manipulate the bones
of the face, head, vertebral column and the membranes beneath
the skull, allowing free movement by the cerebrospinal fluid
and balancing energy fields. Because it involves fairly
delicate manipulations of the spine and skull, chiropractors,
osteopaths and acupuncturists in their practice most often
use Craniosacral therapy.
Craniosacral
therapy is osteopathic manipulation. In lay terms that means,
when attending the alignment of the body, the practitioner
takes the body where it wants to go for a position of release.
When the body is in alignment there are fewer to no restrictions
present, which may lend disease a place to begin. Equine
CranioSacral (ECS) work is a holistic healing practice,
which uses extremely light finger pressure 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. Craniosacral is used in all
animals with positive results.
Benefits/Contraindications
Craniosacral
therapy has been proven to be extremely successful in treating
animals. Symptoms from injury and improper training and
poor equipment fitting can be relieved and treated with
Craniotherapy. See professional for information.
Training/Licenses
Continuing education
and post-graduate training is generally restricted to licensed
health professionals who wish to add this therapy to their
practice. Some courses may be open to students currently
enrolled in a professional health program.
