About the Author

Robin Robinett, DVM, VCRC holds a BS degree in Biology from Texas A&M, and in 1989 graduated from Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine with a doctorate in Veterinary Medicine. She is certified in Animal Chiropractic by the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association and in Acupuncture by the Chi University. Dr. Robinett owns the Veterinary Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Clinic in Houston, Texas. The clinic provides chiropractic, acupuncture and rehabilitation services for dogs, cats, and horses.  


Jim Masterson, Equine Massage Therapist for the US Endurance Team in 2006, 2008, and 2010, and for equine clientele competing in FEI World Cup, Pan American, and World Games competitions, teaches a unique method of bodywork to therapists, horse owners, and now, dog owners, in which the practitioner recognizes and follows the responses of the animal to touch to release tension in key junctions of the body that most affect health, performance, and the ability to connect. When he first became interested in equine massage in 1997, Jim recognized that the horse exhibits certain neurological responses to touch as it releases tension in the body. Using those responses to guide his work, he developed a system in which the horse participates in the process by showing the practitioner where tension has accumulated, precisely how much pressure is needed to release it, and when it has been released. The result is an effective method of bodywork that anyone can learn to use, to improve performance while at the same time opening new levels of communication and trust. In the past few years, Jim has worked with small animal veterinarians to bring his method to the canine world. The Masterson Method office is located in Fairfield, Iowa.

He has truly never moved as nicely as he did in Germany.” In 2008 Jim was again asked to accompany the Team to the FEI World Endurance Championships in Malaysia.
