The Masterson Method provides a unique approach to equine bodywork in which the therapist observes and then follows the visual and palpable responses of the horses to touch. The horse’s active participation in the process is essential; as the horse tells us where the tension is stored, how much pressure to use and how much is being released. In this interactive communication the therapist then applies techniques to release deep levels of tension. According to this method, the key junctions that the most affect performance are the:

• Poll and Neck
• Junction of the neck, shoulders and withers
• Sacroiliac and lumbar junction

When the muscles of the body become restricted they provide less suspension and cushion for the lower limbs and feet. Tension patterns in the muscle and connective tissue of the joints can create restrictions in joints and major junctions of the body. This accumulated stress can restrict movement and affect performance.

The Masterson Method is effective in releasing the accumulated stress that affects mobility, comfort, attitude, training and performance.
