PLATTE COUNTY – Braving the front lines of a pandemic, North Carolina native and Kaycee resident Millie Woody takes her talents as a CranioSacral therapist to ranches where there have been equine injuries.
CranioSacral therapy, according to Maureen Rogers who explained the technique in Natural Horse Magazine: “Equine CranioSacral practitioners apply specific hands-on techniques to the horse’s body to release restrictions in the musculoskeletal system and in the fascia, a tissue that weaves the whole body together like a spider web. CranioSacral is an energy-based therapy using light contact like acupressure. There is no physical manipulation to the bones and tissues. While specific attention is given to the cranium, spine and sacrum, treatment is not limited to these areas due to the way the body is connected.”
Millie was recently doing therapy on a show horse that fell on the ice and had a severe hematoma on her left inner leg.
“What I am doing here is CranioSacral therapy with some Myofascial Release,” Millie said. “So basically, we are trying to get this hematoma where she injured herself to disperse with stimulation.”
