CranioSacral Therapy

Does your horse, dog, cat or other animal have back, neck, jaw, mouth or ear pain? Gait problems? Arthritis? Difficulty in focusing while training? Neurological difficulties? These health challenges and many others can be addressed by CranioSacral therapy, a gentle and non-invasive modality that utilizes the CranioSacral system to address a wide range of conditions.

The CranioSacral system is comprised of the membranes and fluid that bathe the brain and spinal cord. It extends from the skull to the sacrum.

In 1920 an Italian anatomist discovered that skull bones are continually moving due to the rhymthic pulsations of the cerebrospinal fluid. Over the years many other researchers contributed to the development of this area.

In 1970, Dr. John Upledger, an Osteopathic physician and surgeon was assisting in a surgical procedure when he was privileged to witness the rhythmic movement of one of the membranes inside the spinal cord, which resulted from the pulsations of the cerebrospinal fluid. He used this information to resolve a variety of health conditions in his patients and today is considered the foremost authority in the field of CranioSacral therapy.
