WHY MASTERSON METHOD ® BODY WORK?
Bodywork enhances horses comfort by:
Reducing muscle tension from work, injuries, or stall rest
Preventing misalignment, joint stress, and limited mobility
Easing pain and resistance, improving handling and training
Masterson Method techniques address ALL bodywork targets:
The autonomic nervous system, muscles, joints, energetic elements, fascia
Tension is released in deep core and postural muscles, allowing the horse’s spine to realign naturally.
When deep tension is released and the muscles controlling major joints of the body can fully relax and contract:
range of motion is restored in the major joints, increased range of motion improves length
and evenness of stride, lateral reach and overall gymnastic ability
suppleness and strength needed for proper
impulsion, collection, bend and the core ability
to lift through the withers and back are enhanced
AREAS OF IMPACT
Muscles and Joints: releases through range of motion in a relaxed state
Autonomic Nervous System: release deeper core and postural muscle tension
Fascia: allowing musculoskeletal system to relax and realign itself
Energy: working with the horses energy allowing the horse to release deep levels of tensions
