The phenomenon of headshaking, or head tossing, has caused endless hours of agony for horses and owners alike. A great deal of time, effort, and resources have been put toward exploration of the causes of and cure for headshaking, but thus far the results have been inconclusive.

The condition has been variously attributed to behavioural issues, physiologial issues, neurological, cirulatory, or other medical problems; reactions to sunlight, allergies, seasonal conditions, or other environmental factors; and responses to pain or stress.Though all these factors can play a role in the condition, a definitve cause has not been found. Nor a defintive cure. One contribuor that has been overlooked, however, is cranial injury, trauma, or compression.

Maureen Rogers, a pioneer and leading expert in the field of Equine CranioSacral Therapy, has worked with horses in the course of her career and has produced remarkable and successful results with her equine clients using CranioSacral techniques especially with horses who suffer from headshaking.
