The key to success is being able to address the whole body, not just part of it. Osteopathy does that by focusing on the neurology, biomechanics, anatomy and physiology of the body's 3 major connecting systems:
​
  • Parietal - muscles, tendons, ligaments
  • Craniosacral - head, sacrum, spinal cord
  • Visceral - organs 
​
Karen also works closely with veterinarians, equine dental technicians and farriers in order to achieve the best results possible.
