EQUINE CRANIOSACRAL TRAINING

PRESENTED BY SIDSEL SOMMER

About Sidsel

For almost 20 years, Danish osteopath, Sidsel Sommer has used her skills on horses, dogs and humans. She is passionate about sharing her knowledge of equine osteopathic techniques with other horse enthusiasts.

The craniosacral system is an essential part of the whole central nervous system.

In this course

you will learn how to scan for blocks using your intuition and your hands,

and learn how to unwind the block, supporting the restoration of balance in the horse.

Overview

The craniosacral myofascial system holds us together!

Learn about the biomechanics of the bones, the dura (myofascial) sheet and the way it functions with the central nervous system.

The system is key to a balanced horse and some even call it the most important system of the body. It can become overstretched or otherwise misaligned from traumas or illness, which can lead to more illness or pain for the horse.

It is like the hard drive of the nervous system. You’ll learn how to reboot this system when it is out of order.
