Integrated Equine Performance Bodywork

The Masterson Method®

null

Improve performance, communication and your relationship with the horse.

The Masterson Method® is a unique, interactive method of equine bodywork that anyone can learn, to help build trust with the horse. Years of stress and stiffness can often be resolved in a few sessions, by relieving built-up tension in core muscles and key junctions of the body that affect the horse’s performance.

With The Masterson Method®, you learn to recognize and use the responses of the horse to find and release tension. In contrast to traditional massage, it works with the horse’s nervous system and the horse actively participates in the process. It is something you do with the horse, rather than to the horse. This participation and interaction are what makes the method fulfilling for those who use it and transformational for the horse. Testimonial after testimonial describe radically improved performance, movement, behavior, and relationship with the owner, as a result of The Masterson Method®.

“The Masterson Weekend Course is far more than just two days of learning equine bodywork techniques. It’s 16 hours of fascinating information and self-discovery. It’s an opportunity to meet and become friends with like-minded people who share a passion for horses. It’s a set of tools that can have a profound impact on both the horses we work with and on ourselves. It’s learning how to give another being the gift of truly being seen, of being heard, and in large and small ways, help to make their life a little better. It’s magical and beautiful and life changing.”
