 | This needs to be functioning freely as it is a major connection between the front end to the back end of the horse. Slide fingers from between the jowl towards the chin groove. If it is congested you will feel a soft bump about the size of small walnut (can be bigger) Equine craniosacral therapy releases the hyoid apparatus, but there has to be good preparation beforehand because of its intimate relationship through the body. |
One of the main things it governs is co-ordination. It is also connected to the sternum. so any impact here can pull on the hyoid through to the psoas muscles through the back into the pelvis.
It is also connected to the temporal bone, so any dysfunction through the head/poll will have an influence on it.
If you would like your horse to have more freedom of movement, balance, evenness, less stress... it is a great therapy, plus it has a myriad of health benefits because it releases the nervous system and vessels, as well as joints and connective tissue.
