This is a non-invasive technique that helps to restore balance within the form. This technique primarily works with the tissue surrounding the cranium, through to the sacrum, while simultaneously causing beneficial releases throughout the body's entire system. Craniosacral can be very helpful for horses with emotional and behavioral issues, as well as structural weaknesses, such as kissing spine.

Combining both Myofascial and Craniosacral release techniques allows Laurian Pope to be able to address the entire system in a gentle way that both horses and people can enjoy. These massage techniques allow change to happen without bracing against pressure. To enhance the bodywork, Laurian makes recommendations to riders, which will help their horse move more freely and evenly. For people, she recommends either pilates or yoga, which can help to re-train the body and move individuals towards better balance and strength.
