Jim Masterson Explains How the Masterson Method works. By staying under the horse’s bracing response, this gentle approach helps release tension, improve mobility, and promote comfort and trust. “We work with the horse, not against them,” Jim explains. Subtle responses—like a weight shift, a blink, or a change in breathing—guide the process and help find and release tension in the horse's body.

In this reel, Jim Masterson explains the levels of touch in The Masterson Method, from the lightest air-gap pressure to the hardest yet mindful "Lime" pressure. No matter the level of touch used, the most important thing is to use a level of touch so that the horse stays relaxed and doesn't feel the need to brace against it.

Less is more when doing The Masterson Method! In this clip, Jim Masterson shares a key insight with some students about the Lateral Cervical Flexion Technique. If we encounter a horse with significant restriction—or even an arthritic neck—the best approach is to do less! Rather than applying more pressure, we soften our hands and use a gentle motion, allowing the horse to release tension naturally. This subtle shift can make all the difference in unlocking comfort, relaxation, and mobility. Have

One of the key things when doing a Masterson Method session is to learn to read the horse's responses to your touch. In this case, recognizing when the horse needs you to pause and doing it, is what makes the horse take an active part in the bodywork. This makes a whole difference, it helps to build trust and a deep relaxation that will allow them to release tension. #mastersonmethod #beyondhorsemassage #equinebodywork #listentoyourhorse #horsecaretips #releasetension #horsebodywork #horserider

When doing The Masterson Method®️ with a horse we want to stay under the horse's bracing response, and the best way to achieve this is to soften. By softening, you are giving the horse a chance to release tension. If you find that the horse is very sensitive in the neck when doing the Lateral Cervical Flexion Technique, you can try the Jawline Wiggle Technique as an alternative. If he is comfortable with it, you can continue doing wiggles down the neck using a very light touch, as Jim shows in t

Watch until the end to hear Jim's important tip when doing this technique! The Lateral Rocking Technique is very effective in increasing comfort and suppleness in the spine and a more efficient use of the hind limbs forward through the body. The goal of this technique is to gently rock the horse's spinal column side to side, from head to tail, in a relaxed state. This creates movement in the soft tissue between the individual vertebrae of the spinal column and simulates the natural hind-end move

Why Wednesday ~ I enjoy practicing The Masterson Method with my horse, but I don’t always have a lot of time. What’s one Masterson Method technique I can do that helps improve overall performance? Answer: The Scapula Release technique encourages the shoulder blade to drop and move freely, easing tension in the muscles that connect the forelimb, neck, and withers. This helps increase flexibility in the front legs, improves shock absorption through the shoulders, and allows for smoother, more coor

Why Wednesday ⁓ My horse tenses the masseter very often and the vet said he has a tight TMJ and Hyoid. Is there anything I can do with The Masterson Method to help him release tension in that area? Answer: Yes, one simple technique you could try is the Hyoid Release technique. This is a subtle movement technique in which we do not move anything ourselves, we simply apply a light, steady touch and let the horse create the movement.
