A treatment starts with the evaluation of your horse’s CranioSacral system. Is start off by placing my hands gently on the skull, the back and the pelvis. There are certain places where it is easier for me to sense the rhythm. Such as the forehead, the nose and the sacrum bone in the pelvis.

If I find fascia tension, increased bone pressure or lack of rhythm I can help the horse in various ways to release this. A treatment takes 40 minutes to one hour. Depending on what the cause of the problem is, 3 to 5 treatments are needed.

It is always my goal to help your horse relax deeply and move better. After a first treatment you should be able to notice if your horse has reacted positively or not.

• The initial treatment costs € 100,- excluding travel expenses Follow up treatments cost € 80,- excluding travel expenses.
• CranioSacral Therapy can never replace proper veterinary care. But it can make a significant contribution to the health and well being of your horse.
• CranioSacral treatments are more effective if your horse does not have dental issues. Always get the dentist in first if it has been a long time since your horse has seen a dentist). The same goes for hoof problems. If your horse has hoof problems they need to be resolved first.
• 3 to 5 treatments are recommended. if your horse is otherwise healthy and in good condition you should be able to see improvement after the first session.
• Allow your horse to rest on the day of the treatment and the day after and do not plan a treatment too close to an important competetion or event, but allow for 48 hours.
• CranioSacral therapy is very compatible with regular and other alternative treatments such as acupuncture, osteopathy, T-touch and massage. It can even enhance the effect of these treatments.
