Craniosacral Therapy for Animals
Craniosacral Therapy was originally developed and cultivated by osteopathic physician John E. Upledger. CST is a non-invasive and gentle method of evaluating and improving the craniosacral system which is made up of the dural tube, membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds and protects the brain and spinal cord. With a light touch, about the weight of a nickel, a craniosacral practitioner can release restrictions in the craniosacral system.
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) has been found to be an effective therapy for many conditions affecting animals. Some of these issues include spine and neck problems, lyme disease, arthritis, chronic joint and spine pain, hip dysplasia, systemic disorders, TMJ, emotional and behavioral problems, and mobility issues. All animals can benefit from this safe and gentle form of care.
