WHAT IS THE MASTERSON METHOD®?
The Masterson Method® is an integrated, multi-modality method of equine massage and
bodywork that allows the horse to release deep, accumulated pain and tension in muscles
and connective tissue. Through the use of light touch and gentle movement in a relaxed state,
and observation of a range of the horse's responses (these visual and palpable responses
tell you what the horse's body is feeling), you will open doors to improved health and
performance while enhancing communication and relationship with your horse.
• Make your horse more relaxed and comfortable.
• Enable your horse to overcome limitations and restrictions that stand in the way of reaching
his full potential.
“Without a doubt, Jim Masterson's work is AMAZING! It is gentle, effective and strengthens the bond and
communication between you and your horse. His method directly complements what I do while training.
For me, it's the perfect combination of both 'physical therapy' from the ground and from the saddle."
