Intro To Cranio Sacral Therapy
Horses are athletes that do what we ask while carrying us. They feel the extra pressure our handling puts on their heads, poles, jaws, sinuses, legs and backs. Like all athletes, bodies become out of balance and in response the horse's bodies will compensate. In this compensative state the horse's bodies are no longer in balance.
Ultimately compensation patters will lead to the body breaking down, leaving a horse to operate despite the pain. Instead of leaving a horse to operate with decreased ability you can get to the root of the body compensation
Through light finger pressure on the skull and spine CST focuses on the many behavioral and performance issues stemming from head and jaw trauma, sore backs, locking stifles, and stiff legs.
Kristin works with each animal as an individual with a life history.
She has the ability to see the body as a whole including their emotional, mental, and physical state. Through the session Kristin assesses what core imbalances are causing pain, movement and performance issues. Her goal is to provide relief, improve flexibility of movement and restore balance to the body promoting its natural ability to heal itself.
Pain stemming from ill-fitting tack, imbalanced riding, tie-downs, pull-backs, kicks, TMJ & dental issues cause horses to compensate.
Many conformational flaws called “U-Neck,” “Down-Hill,” “Sway-Backs,” “Over-the-knee,” and “Croup-high” are really imbalances from compensation.
Not only can you help your horse feel less pain, you can help your horse correct these imbalances and become healthier, stronger, and happier! Help your horse become physically balanced and stronger so you both have more fun riding together.
Kristin believes in sharing knowledge . It's important to share information with people so that they can understand and see what their animals need. Kristin not only helps the animal but empowers the clients so they can help their own animal to the best of their abilities.
Help your horse perform with less pain. Sessions help bring lasting results including improved performance, movement, flexibility, health, behavior and is a huge reason why Kristin loves this work.
