I have learned enough to recognize when I need to ask questions. Thank you, Jim and Conley for creating the Masterson family with us. It is such an authentic spirit with all the lovely people around the world! When the muscle imbalances are reduced, a lower level of physical exertion is required from the practitioner. One of these approaches is the Masterson Method. I had the opportunity to take one of the weekend seminars and attend one of the collaborative clinics introducing me to this gentle technique.
I really like that fact that the certified Masterson therapists are always looking to work in a team with the veterinarian and other equine professionals.
Since I took the Masterson seminar, I had the opportunity to work side by side as a veterinarian with certified Masterson therapists on mutual patients with the same goal in mind: improving the health and well-being of the horse.
I found The Masterson Method last autumn, and emailed you to thank you. I shared in my email about my now 27 year-old Standardbred gelding, who had issues with the Bladder Meridian Technique. He had had stomach issues previous winters, loosing weight, not eating, having gas, colics etc.
The veterinarian came to see him, found him otherwise healthy—lungs, heart and legs—and suspected gastric sand. Okay, we did as doctor ordered. It took ages, he was responding by fidgeting, blinking and his ears twitching back and forth, and then he started releasing like crazy. I was afraid that his nervous system was overloading, but if I tried removing my hand, he followed it and continued releasing. I just stood there, stunned, arms aching, and stayed where he asked me to stay.
