"The Masterson Method"(MM) uses a unique & gentle approach to equine bodywork. Discerning the visual and palpable responses of the horse to touch  tells where tension is located and the amount of pressure needed to release it. This interaction creates a partnership with the horse that enables the release of tension at a deeper level. Performance and agility are most affected by the junctions of the Poll/Atlas/Axis, Neck, Shoulders, Withers, Sacroiliac and Lumbar.

Relieving tension in the muscles & connective tissue of the joints can reduce restrictions in the joints & major junctions. Improvements in agility, mobility, movement and attitude allows for more effective training and enhances overall performance.

"Alpha Sonic" soundwave sessions can result in the dramatic reduction of elevated thermal gradients (indicative of inflammation) and relaxation of muscle spasm. As local circulation is increased, swelling is reduced. Scar tissue can soften, becoming less prone to re-injury. Over stimulated nerves can be quieted by the soothing alpha frequencies and gentle pulsation.

The use of "Alpha Sonic" soundwaves have proven to be a means of Acoustic Acupuncture. Non invasive, bio-compatible soundwaves are safe to use in all phases of an injury. Rapid pain reduction can be achieved naturally through a decrease of inflammation, muscle spasm relief, increase of local circulation and a general state of relaxation. The performance and working horse can recover more quickly from the rigors of training and competition.

At EMB, we are dedicated to improving the performance and equine quality of life.  The massage and bodywork techniques, as well as the soundwave technology we use are all gentle and proven methods of helping you get the most out of your horse. After all, it's all about the horse
