WELCOME TO A

REVOLUTION

IN EQUINE PERFORMANCE AND LAMENESS PREVENTION

Balance Through Movement Method™

A method against methods.

BTMM is a revolutionary approach to training, centered around the development of the body to prevent and alleviate suspected nerve compressions, and solve undiagnosed lameness and behavior issues in all disciplines of riding.

This restorative training system is designed specifically to empower equestrians, making bodywork, biomechanics education and mindful horsemanship simple and accessible to anyone, no matter their experience level.

A set of principles.
A lens to be applied over all areas of horsemanship.
A place where you learn trust in yourself and advocacy for your horse.

At BTMM, we teach you how to help the horse achieve optimum balance and strength from basic movements to the highest levels with a foundation in the nervous system, resulting in the development of both body and mind.

From competitive trainers to Veterinarians, adult amateurs to backyard enthusiasts, BTMM is a top recommended program around the world for rehabilitation, development, diagnostics and most of all – Community.

LAZARIS NERVE RELEASE TECHNIQUE

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.

BTMM IN-HAND

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.

BTMM UNDER-SADDLE

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.

You can train for soundness.

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.
