Penny is qualified and fully insured to administer equine craniosacral therapy.

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.
Horses do appear to enjoy the experience.

N.B: It must be noted that permission from a veterinary surgeon is a pre-requisite for equine craniosacral therapy treatment

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.
