A COURSE IN EQUINE SPORTS MASSAGE (DVD)
by Jo-Ann Wilson
A Course in Equine Sportsmassage, a unique instructional DVD, teaches
you how to use a specific hands-on technique from the Wilson Meagher
Method to alleviate and prevent muscle tightness that interferes with
the motion and well-being of your horse. This documentary-style DVD
beautifully captures scenes of horses moving and being ridden before
and after the application of the technique, while providing valuable
information on how to recognize restrictions in motion in an
interesting, dynamic and well-paced format.

As a practicing sport horse medicine veterinarian, I refer horses to Jo-Ann
because she has a keen ability to achieve results for horses with muscular
problems. She understands the demands on these equine athletes and has an
unbelievable knowledge of both anatomy and biomechanics. It is a pleasure to work
with her and put our heads together to get the best results. I highly recommend
her method as a complementary and adjunct therapy to veterinary medicine.

It is my pleasure to recommend Jo-Ann Wilson's DVD A Course in Equine
Sportmassage. The clarity of material and instruction is excellent and
accessible to both the equine student and horse owner. We have instituted this
DVD as part of our curriculum at Johnson & Wales University's Equine Studies
Program in our Equine Physiology and Sports Therapy course. The students have
been able to apply some of the basic massage techniques outlined by Jo-Ann in
their laboratory sessions.

A Course in Equine Sportsmassage with Jo-Ann Wilson
provides a straightforward and easy to use approach to gait assessment and
equine sports massage. Jo-Ann's succinct explanation and demonstration of the
dynamics of motion guide students through the process of identifying where the
flow of motion is restricted. She then identifies the major performance muscle
groups, explains their function and demonstrates how to release tightness and
restriction with compression techniques. The compression techniques have made a
real difference in my horse. His overall performance has improved, his
appearance is rounder and softer and he begins his work more relaxed, forward
and supple. I highly recommend this DVD to anyone looking to develop a strong,
athletic equine partner.

Dick and I were absolutely riveted. We watched the DVD from beginning to end and
Dick, who has been an award winning teacher at MIT for over 60 years, says you
are a superb teacher. You talk slowly and distinctly with great enthusiasm. Even
though we are not currently involved with horses, we learned a great deal of
interesting information about massage and muscles. It was beautifully assembled
and it is a wonderful piece of work. Thank you so much.

I just got done watching your DVD and was sooooooo
pleased. I learned so much I can't wait to go to the barn in the morning. The
DVD was set up quite well. It is so easy to find your way around which will come
in handy as I refer back to it at different times for different reasons. I just
can't tell you how pleased I am with the DVD. It is so clear and concise and you
show us exactly where to do the massage and the effects the muscle has on motion.
I will watch it many, many times and improve on my techniques. Thank you, too, for
going to the trouble to try and help the average person (like me) help our
trusted mounts. I want my horse to be at his best and anything I can do to help
him I will do. I believe wholeheartedly in the Meagher method and now have your
DVD to further my knowledge. I am most pleased.

Your DVD is a very good educational documentary. The
photography, the horses, and the people are all great. Everything about it is
great! It is interesting, it moves, and is of the highest quality. My neighbor,
who is not a horse person, watched it and was fascinated. It was fun to see
myself in it and what I had to say. I think it is absolutely terrific. Hats off
to you Jo-Ann.

Good One! I watched the DVD last night. If it wasn't late I would have massaged
Torro last night. I am so excited!!!! I massaged him this A.M. and he loved it.
His right front has been a problem for several years. He trotted off nicely and
later cantered across the 5 acre pasture and up the hill. The canter sounded
more relaxed, even at speed. Can't wait to work on Braien. Thank you so much!! I
really got a lot out of it, I also learned about the hand softness...this just
gave me the confidence to go out and be responsible to my horses.
