CranioSacral Therapy Seminar
CranioSacral therapy is a holistic manual form of treatment, where the therapist uses very light touch to read and find restrictions in the body‛s various tissues, joints and skeleton. Using the same light contact the therapist can assist the body to release the restrictions, allowing energy and fluids to flow unhindered, optimising body movement and restoring the body‛s own fantastic ability to self heal. This form of treatment is very effective and works as well with horses as it does with humans and other mammals (such as dogs and cats). Click here for more information.
