Jim Masterson’s Tips for Understanding Equine Bodywork Series  

In this Absorbine® video, equine bodywork expert Jim Masterson shares techniques for addressing tension in your horse’s back and core. Tightness in these areas can stem from a variety of issues and often leads to discomfort, resistance, or long-term challenges. After releasing the front and hind end tension, it’s essential to address the back—one of the most common areas for stiffness to occur.

Masterson demonstrates how to recognize signs of back discomfort, apply techniques that help release deep tension, and support a more relaxed and functional topline.

Watch as Masterson guides you through practical methods to ease your horse’s soreness, improve flexibility through the core, and promote better overall movement.
