Jim Masterson

Gentle Bodywork

Jim Masterson is an equine massage therapist and the creator of the world-renowned Masterson Method®.

For Jim, it started in 1998, while he was grooming horses on the U.S. hunter-jumper show circuit, Jim noticed while watching physical therapists work on horses that the horse exhibited certain subtle changes in behavior that correlated to what the therapists were doing. He learned that if you trust and follow what the horse is telling you as you work on it, the horse’s body will participate in the process of releasing tension. The result is not only an improvement in performance, but also in the trust that develops between the horse and human.
