The catch phrase for the Masterson Method is "Beyond Horse Massage", to highlight the unique and innovative approach his method takes to improve the performance, comfort, and well-being of horses.

The Masterson Method uses a combination of touch, massage, and movement to release tension, improve range of motion, and enhance communication between the horse and handler.

A therapeutic technique that involves applying manual manipulation and massage techniques to the muscles and soft tissues of horses.

​

It serves several purposes and can be beneficial for various reasons: physical relaxation, improved circulation, enhancement of bond, pain relief, flexibility and mobility.

​

Myofascial release focuses on releasing tension and restrictions within the fascia, a connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, bones, and organs in the body. It aims to improve flexibility, reduce pain, and restore optimal function.

​

The fascia is a continuous web-like structure that runs throughout the body, providing support and allowing for efficient movement. However, due to various factors such as trauma, inflammation, or poor posture, the fascia can become tight, restricted, or adhered, leading to pain and limited range of motion.

​

Scar tissue is best served by these techniques!

​

Animal osteopathy is a form of alternative medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal issues in animals.

It is based on the principles of osteopathy, which is a holistic approach to healthcare that emphasizes the interrelationship between the body's structure and its function. 

​

In animal osteopathy, practitioners use manual techniques, such as soft tissue manipulation, stretching, and joint mobilization, to address musculoskeletal problems in animals.

These techniques aim to restore balance, improve mobility, and alleviate pain or discomfort in the animal's body.

Physiological pads are a type of equine therapy tool designed to improve balance, stability, and overall body awareness in horses. Our pads consist of soft foam pads of varying densities and thicknesses.

By providing the horse with a stable but yielding surface to stand on, we will challenge their proprioceptive system.

Proprioception refers to the horse's ability to sense the position, movement, and balance of their body.

By standing on the physiological pads, horses are encouraged to adjust their weight distribution and make subtle postural changes, thereby improving their body awareness and balance.

​

The pads come in different densities, allowing for customization based on the horse's needs and comfort level. 

Red light therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation therapy, involves the use of specific wavelengths of red light to promote healing and provide therapeutic benefits. It has gained popularity in various fields, including human and veterinary medicine.

​

Red light therapy utilizes red or near-infrared light in the range of 600 to 1000 nanometers. When this light is applied to the body's tissues, it is believed to penetrate into the cells and stimulate various cellular processes.

Some proposed benefits of red light therapy include: improved tissue healing and circulation, and pain relief.

KT Tape, also known as Kinesiology Tape, is a type of elastic therapeutic tape that is commonly used in sports and athletic activities, including with horses. 

The tape is applied directly to the hair in specific patterns and tensions to provide support, stability, and pain relief to muscles and joints.

​

In equine applications, KT Tape is often used to address various issues such as muscle strains, joint instability, swelling, and inflammation.

It can be applied to specific areas of the horse's body to support injured or fatigued muscles, promote proper biomechanics, and aid in the recovery process.

It can help reduce pain, enhance circulation, and provide a proprioceptive feedback to the horse, promoting better body awareness and control.

Equine craniosacral therapy (CST) focuses on the craniosacral system (CS) of horses which refers to the membranes, cerebrospinal fluid, and structures surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It extends from the bones of the skull (cranium) down to the sacrum within the pelvic cavity. 

The CS plays a vital role in maintaining the health and functioning of the central nervous system. CST aims to identify and address any restrictions or imbalances in the CS of horses.

Practitioners use gentle touch and subtle movements to assess and release areas of tension, compression, or dysfunction within the system. The goal is to facilitate the body's self-healing mechanisms, promote relaxation, and restore optimal balance and function by assessing the CS system's rhythm and detect any areas of restriction or imbalance.
