a most wonderful tool, Dec 9 2011

This review is from: Beyond Horse Massage: A Breakthrough Interactive Method for Alleviating Soreness, Strain, and Tension (Spiral-bound)
I have been a certified acupressurist for 20 yrs and this method absolutely streamlined my approach. The results are truly almost instantaneous for the horses. The book itself is well laid out with step by steps and detailed proceedures with pictures. It is specifically formatted to be used 'on location', i.e.: a wire binding so that it will lay flat for easy on site access while performing proceedures. I felt the most important message was stressing to readers (practitioners) that you need to pay attention to the horse for its reaction to the touch and to learn to adjust your own responses as opposed to making the horse respond in a human manner. Horses are (as are all animals) extremely subtle in their responses and are wonderful teachers. Jim Masterson expressed a desire to provide laymen and professionals alike with an invaluable tool. He has succeeded. He is a generous teacher.

This review is from: Beyond Horse Massage: A Breakthrough Interactive Method for Alleviating Soreness, Strain, and Tension (Spiral-bound)
Having no background in any body work, and being clumsy myself, I was able to get releases, and learn to control my own responses, as well as help my horse. Extremely well written, clear step by step directions, with emphasis placed on the important points.

What a book!, Jan 11 2012

This review is from: Beyond Horse Massage: A Breakthrough Interactive Method for Alleviating Soreness, Strain, and Tension (Spiral-bound)
I first learned of Jim Masterson by listening to a podcast of an interview he'd done. I immediately ordered his first dvd on massage and got a lot out of that. This book is even better though! Very clear, concise direction on what to do to help your horse feel better and help get the stress out, whether that horse is an incredibley fit athlete or an older horse suffering from arthritis pains. I've taken an acupressure course and the knowledge gained by using this book has only enhanced what I learned from that. I'm seriously considering taking one of Jim's workshops this summer, I'm that impressed. Thank you for writing this book and helping horses all over feel better!
