Therapeutic products can help your horse to heal.
Whether tendon damage, muscle tension or simply for prevention - therapeutic products can help your horse. There are various products to choose from. In addition to cooling gaiters, which are designed to cool down the tendons in the horse's leg after work, there are also therapeutic blankets for horses. These blankets are available as magnetic blankets or massage blankets, which are designed to relieve muscle tension. Magnetic field therapy also supports the metabolism as the cells are stimulated. Massage blankets such as the Horseware Sportz-Vibe® ZX massage blanket made of mesh material help to warm up and loosen the muscles before work. After training or in between, the vibration of the massage panel relieves tension in the horse's back and neck - pure wellness for horses. However, pay attention to how your horse reacts to the various therapy products. You should get your horse used to massage products such as the Ice Vibe gaiters or the massage blanket from Horseware slowly and observe the reaction closely.
Cooling gaiters - when should they be used?
Cooling boots are available in different versions for the cannon bone, ankle or carpal joint. They are most commonly used on the cannon bone (cannon bone) to cool the tendons after intensive training. This prevents swelling and inflammation. You should always use cooling boots instead of a simple ice pack to prevent hypothermia of the leg. The advantage of Horseware Ice Vibe cooling gaiters lies in the vibration panels which can be inserted into the side of the gaiters. This vibration ensures a constant flow of blood, which prevents hypothermia when used correctly. The gaiters can also be used without cooling pads to warm up the horse's legs before training. Although the LeMieux ProIce Freeze Therapy cooling gaiter does not have a massage function, a special fabric in the gaiter prevents hypothermia of the tendons. The unique hypo-freeze gel remains soft and contours the lower extremities to ensure maximum surface contact with tendons and joints. Cooling boots are also used for tendon damage when the leg is still warm. By reducing the heat, inflammation in the tendon can be reduced, thus promoting regeneration.
Magnetic field therapy for horses - magnetic field blankets and magnetic field boots
Magnetic field products are designed to support healing processes in the horse's body in a natural way. Metal coils in the therapy blankets and boots generate a magnetic field using electrical voltage. As blood circulation and metabolism work with electromagnetic charges and discharges, the artificially generated magnetic field is intended to support and strengthen this process. This can have the following benefits: Pain and swelling are reduced
- Blood circulation is supported
- the elimination of toxins is accelerated
- the healing process is accelerated
- Muscles and vision are prepared for exertion - good before intensive training
One gaiter that offers therapeutic support is the Magnetik Stable Boot from Veredus. This consists of a breathable HCL foam (AEROX) and a Dry Fast inner lining, which can be replaced. This stable boot with magnetic therapy is designed to reduce swelling after exertion.
