WELCOME TO A
REVOLUTION
IN EQUINE PERFORMANCE AND LAMENESS PREVENTION
Julio Mendoza with Jewel's Goldstrike, 2024 Paris Olympic Games Competitor and BTMM Client
Balance Through Movement Method™ is a revolutionary approach to classical training, centered around alleviating and preventing suspected nerve compression and solving undiagnosed lameness and behavior issues.
This performance training system is designed to help the horse achieve optimum balance and strength through toning the nervous system, resulting in the development of both body and mind.
From trainers to Veterinarians, adult amateurs to backyard enthusiasts, this work is used around the world for rehabilitation, development and diagnostics.
Our proprietary manual therapy was developed to help release fascial holdings that keep the joints restricted and cause compression over the main nerve highways in the body. Lazaris Nerve Release Technique™ facilitates release of the bracing muscles that prevent horses from accessing their bodies for effective in-hand and under saddle development and incorporates proprioceptive exercises to help the horses retain the work in between sessions.
The BTMM in-hand curriculum incorporates static and dynamic exercises on the ground to help relax bracing muscles, reprogram fascial holdings causing potential nerve compression, develop a positive relationship to connection and engage the core musculature to create healthy posture necessary for ridden work.
This work can be used for development, rehabilitation or to simply gain a deeper relationship with your horse.
The BTMM under saddle approach is complementary to any discipline. You will learn how to teach the horse signals from their back that restores joint mobility, releases fascial holdings around the main nerve highways, and targets the core musculature required for healthy posture and development.
Balance Through Movement Method™ is a set of clear and easy to understand principles to achieve whole horse balance. Our approach brings a unique lens that is the missing link to help build and maintain soundness in any discipline.
Our training methodology is specifically designed to simultaneously release the compensatory patterns within the horse while developing the core musculoskeletal system and toning the nervous system.
We achieve this by:
-
Cultivating a positive relationship to connection, both emotionally and to the aids
-
Targeting and developing the deep core muscles required for the horse to have self-carriage while in a relaxed mental state
-
Supporting and strengthening spinal integrity
-
Protecting the body from nerve and vascular compression through correct biomechanics
With this work, we help the horse reach true structural integrity, solving and preventing restrictions, lameness, and enhancing performance by restoring the missing gait cycle and achieving optimal range of motion within the body. Through the careful reprogramming of the body’s compensatory patterns with proprioceptive work and emotional regulation, mind-body integration is achieved.
The result: Horses that are sound not just in body, but in mind.
