Penny is qualified and fully insured
to administer equine craniosacral therapy and can be consulted regarding
other companion animals such as dogs and cats.
N.B: It must be noted that permission from a veterinary surgeon
is a pre-requisite for craniosacral therapy for animals
Equine craniosacral therapy involves working with the whole
body. The approach may be used to enhance well-being and vitality
and may aid horses in almost any condition.
Craniosacral therapy (CST) is recommended for your horse after
competing, in order to relieve any post-competition stress.
CST can also be helpful up to 24 hours prior to competition,
when it can help to optimise performance.

Penny would be happy to consult with your horse’s vet both before
and during a course of treatment. Yard visits can be arranged by
prior appointment.
The owner is usually present at the session.
A session begins with horse and owner relaxed and settled.
The craniosacral therapist is playing the part of an observer –
looking after his/her own safety; watching the horse’s reactions;
keeping balanced, focused and grounded.
Contact of any kind by the therapist is negotiated with the horse
– respecting its needs - and is usually very light and brief in
duration.
The horse is allowed to move around if it wishes and often benefits
from a short period of rest.
The craniosacral therapist is aiming in a treatment session to enable
the horse to reach a better state of balance in its whole form.
No diagnosis is made – this is the realm of the veterinary surgeon.
