TMJ Masterclass

If you suspect your horse’s jaw joint is uncomfortable, THIS is the course for you!

Unlock Your Horse’s Jaw: the TMJ Masterclass  is the newest online course from Freely Forward Bodywork. Like our signature course Equine Massage 101, the TMJ masterclass gives you all the tools you need to alleviate your horse’s pain, but unlike Equine Massage 101, this course focuses solely on the TMJ.

Welcome to
TMJ Masterclass

The temporomandibular joint, better known as the TMJ or the jaw joint, affects nearly everything your horse does, from eating and chewing to riding. It’s so important to be able to identify signs and symptoms of pain in the TMJ– just as important as it is to be able to alleviate the pain.


Unlock Your Horse’s Jaw is your one-stop shop to identify TMJ pain, improve its condition, and prevent future discomfort. You’ll learn six targeted techniques to alleviate TMJ pain with the same clarity and easy-to-understand methods as our popular course Equine Massage 101.

Are you ready for your understanding of horses to change?

The perfect course for you, if…

You suspect your horse may have TMJ pain, but it’s also an excellent option for someone interested in beginning to learn to massage their horse but unsure if the full Equine Massage 101 course is for them. It’s also a great choice for established equine massage therapists who want to take a deeper dive and expand their knowledge of TMJ massage techniques. 

Even if you’ve already enrolled in Equine Massage 101, this masterclass will provide new techniques you’ve not yet learned! This new course is a great way to expand the toolkit you established during Equine Massage 101.

My student fixed her horse’s jaw pain with one massage technique…

Inside equine massage 101, my students are having incredible transformations with their horses. One of them had a horse whose horse couldn’t eat without tilting his head. After using the TMJ technique in the course only two times, he has been able to eat completely normally ever since. I feel so moved by this instance, along with many other students who are seriously helping their horse’s jaw issues with massage, that I’ve decided to make a TMJ masterclass. It will teach you SIX different techniques to be able to best help your horse! 

Learn how to help your horse TODAY! They will thank you. 

Here are some signs that your horse’s jaw is in pain and they need you to take  this class: 

  • They don’t want to go into contact when you are riding them, or brace against it

  • They are head shy

  • They are constantly rubbing their head on you or anything they can

  • When ridden, they stick their tongue out or open their mouth

  • They tilt their head, either when eating or when being ridden

They have problems eating or eat slowly (in this case ALWAYS consult with your vet and dentist)
