Craniosacral Therapy
In the 1920s, Dr. William Garner Sutherland discovered that the cranial
bone (cranium) and the scranal bone (sacrum) make synchronous rhythmical
movements. Dr. John E. Upledger then developed the craniosacral concept
in the 1970s-1980s in cooperation with a team of scientists at Michigan
State University. This involves a treatment method which is based on
targeted cranio-sacral contacts. The aim is to make blocked tissue
structures (cranial bone, vertebra, membrane, muscles) moveable, and
blocked areas permeable again. The gentle contact activates the
self-healing process and encourages the harmonisation of the body.
The craniosacral pulse is very subtle. To be able to
feel this, I touch the horse’s body using gentle, soft movements. Most
noticeable are the amplitudes in the cranium and spinal column. I
provide stimuli to any points where the mobility of the cranial bone/
vertebra and the membrane is restricted. This helps to restore lost
mobility.
