About Equine Unwind Therapeutics
ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Renee, founder of Equine Unwind Therapeutics.
I've always been drawn to helping horses feel at ease in their bodies, because I know how much it changes everything-from their movement to their attitude. I've seen first-hand how much behavior and performance can change when physical discomfort is addressed. What looks like resistance, anxiety, or attitude is often rooted in pain or tension the horse can't put into words.
I've been there myself. With my own horses, I've faced frustration of training or behavior issues that didn't seem to get better no matter what I tried. It wasn't until I started looking deeper-beyond behavior and into the body-that I realized that the horse's discomfort was the root of so many challenges. That experience drives everything I do today.
Using advanced Masterson Method techniques, PEMF therapy and kinesiology taping, I work to uncover what's really going on beneath the surface and bring lasting relief. I help uncover and release the physical restrictions that hold your horse back and impact their comfort, performance and behavior.
My goal is to give your horse the relief and freedom they need so they can relax, perform better, move fluidly, and truly connect with you. Every horse has a story, and every challenge is a clue. I listen closely to both you and your horse, tailoring each session to address the cause. Whether your horse is struggling with tension, mystery lameness or behavior that training alone hasn't fixed, I can help them overcome those physical barriers.
Because when the body feels better, the behavior follows.
Services
Every horse tells you how they’re feeling long before a problem shows up in performance. A tight poll, a guarded ribcage, a stride that’s just a little shorter than it used to be — these are the early indicators that something in the body isn’t moving the way it should.
And sometimes, you’ve already done everything right: you’ve had the vet out, the diagnostics look clean, and yet… your horse still feels “off.” That’s often where hidden tension, compensation patterns, and nervous‑system overwhelm live — the kind of subtle discomfort that doesn’t show up on imaging, but absolutely shows up in how your horse moves, behaves, and recovers.
My work focuses on helping horses release the restrictions behind those signs so they can move, behave, and perform with more ease.
I offer:
• Advanced Masterson Method bodywork techniques
• PEMF therapy for recovery, pain, and circulation
• Kinesiology taping to reduce strain, improve comfort, and support better biomechanics
Advanced Masterson Method philosophy is the heart of my approach: working with the horse’s nervous system to create real, lasting change. When the horse feels safe enough to let go, deep restrictions soften, range of motion improves, and movement becomes more fluid and efficient.
I’ve seen horses go from bracing through every ride to stretching into the contact again… from “mystery lameness off” to moving with confidence… from inconsistent performance to showing up with comfort and clarity.
If you’re looking for changes you can see and feel — in the saddle, on the ground, and in your horse’s overall wellbeing — this is where those shifts begin.

Equine Unwind Therapeutics Testimonials
We thought my horse would nap a bit, yesterday, after Renee's work on her, but not only did she not sleep, she was probably the happiest I've seen her since getting her this last March. Today she is running, kicking up her heels and so light in her general mood. It's pretty incredible because Misty has been pretty shut down and/or fairly tense. The Advanced Masterson Method techniques bodywork is making her the horse I've been hoping she'd be. Can't wait for your next visit, Renee!!!

Renee did amazing with my horse Hagen! I had no idea what Advanced Masterson Method was and naturally was a little skeptical about how good the results would be. Only using light touch to fix a horse's soreness isn't the norm of what you are usually taught. I wanted to give it a try and she came out! After listening so intently to all the problems he had been having, she gave him a 2-hour session. Not only was the tenderness in his stifle and groin gone, but his demeanor was completely different. 10/10 recommend!
-Brynna
Renee's calm demeanor and gentle touch put my horse, Copper, at ease! I know he felt relaxed and better with her advanced Masterson Method techniques sessions. I appreciate all that she also taught me going forward to keep him happy and pain free.
-Kristin
Thank you, Renee Martinson at Equine Unwind Therapeutics for your knowledge and dedication. My horses always feel better after your visit with your MagnaWave and your magic hands!
My gelding has suffered from joint disease his whole life. With PEMF he has really perked up! He also has allergies which cause his nasal passages to swell. After one short session to his face the swelling disappeared within hours! I love how good this makes him feel!
-Suzi
OMG!!! Totally different horse this morning! She is standing quietly by herself. Thank you!!!!!
-Kim
Renee has worked wonders for both of my horses and my dog with her expertise in PEMF, kinesiology taping & equine massage for a variety of ailments. Her deep understanding of equine behavior allows her to identify subtle issues that might go unnoticed in day-to-day routines. She suggested I get my mare checked for ulcers, which she did have, and after following veterinary advice and continuing PEMF sessions, the second scope showed not only the ulcers were gone, but the stomach tissue looked significantly healthier.
Renee rearranged her schedule to do an emergency PEMF & kinesiology taping on my foundered pony. The PEMF & taping gave her relief the first day!
-Brenda
There's not enough stars available to rate Renee. I tried PEMF in a last ditch effort to address my horse's behavior & old injury. My horse has a history of abuse and is anxious. I warned her that he probably wouldn't let her place the pemf coils on him. Somehow she pulled it off. My horse has had 6 sessions with Renee and I've seen a difference in his demeanor. Both my horses drop their heads and enjoy their day with Renee. As other reviews have stated, Renee truly cares for every horse she treats. I'm thankful my hurting unicorn led me to Renee!

My horses Love PEMF and Renee! They get an extra pep in their stop after their sessions. Renee uses advanced Masterson Method techniques as well, finding all the sore spots. If you haven't tried Equine Unwind Therapeutics, now is the time. Your horses will love you for it!
-Suzi
Today was one of our biggest victories! My horse, who we were told wasn't safe to work or ride anymore because of his degenerative disc disease & spinal cord compression, ran today! We have been doing PEMF sessions once a week for the last month. We noticed his back legs separating again, versus close together. Today he lunged and he had no crossing over of his hind legs!
10/10 recommend Renee! She saved our 24- year-old horse.
-Stephanie
My horse, Russel, got a a visit from the PT lady this week. He got a session of PEMF and kinesiology taping. He has been feeling great ever since! I highly recommend Renee!
