It improves suppleness during training or when preparing for competitions.

Because it’s here that your horse’s vital metabolic processes take place – cells are supplied with nutrients that enable them to fulfill their tasks- and so metabolic waste products may be are removed for disposal. Put simply, healthy microcirculation is essential to your horse’s all-around well-being. This is only available for individual treatments

Red Light TherapyThe LEDs at specific wavelengths are reported to increase circulation by increasing the formation of new capillaries. New capillaries speed up the healing process by carrying more oxygen as well as more nutrients needed for healing and they can also carry more waste products away.
Collagen is the most common protein found in the body and the essential protein used to repair damaged tissue and replace old tissue. Studies cite that LEDs stimulate the production of collagen. It has been reported that by increasing collagen production, less scar tissue is formed at the damaged site. LED therapy is reported to stimulate the release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the major carrier of energy to all cells and provides the chemical energy that drives the chemical reaction of the cell. Increases in ATP allow cells to use nutrients faster and get rid of waste products faster by increasing the energy level in the cell. Increases lymphatic system activity. Edema has two basic components, liquid, and protein. Reduces the excitability of nervous tissue. The light energy stimulates the release of endorphins which are the body's own long-term pain-fighting chemicals. |

Kinesiology TapingKinesiology Taping when used properly, can drastically reduce injuries in horses. An 80% reduction of injuries in a large competition programs has been reported by Therapy Corner Store when using Equi-Tape® to support equine athletes lower legs.
* Supports proper bio-mechanic range of motion, reducing the likelihood of hyperflexion or hyperextension resulting in sprains, strains, tears or ruptures. * Increases circulation keeping tendons and ligaments cooler, reducing inflammation and swelling during and after workouts or competition. * Supports hard working muscles by communicating with the spindle fibers encouraging the muscle to “fire” or contract better, resulting in more explosive power. |
* Reduces fatigue by assisting in the removal of toxic by-products produced during physical exertion, allowing your horse to train harder and recover quicker.
Equine kinesiology taping is a physiotherapy treatment and has various applications. It can be applied between competitive elements of many international equine events to speed recovery and improve endurance. In recreational riding, it alleviates discomfort from acute and chronic injuries. Veterinary professionals and equine physiotherapists use this technique on a daily basis to treat muscle injuries, biomechanical and postural dysfunction and aid performance and recovery time. It is particularly valuable in rehabilitation of horses.
CIRCULATORY / LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
A constriction of the lymph circulation is often caused by inflammation of damaged tissue. The discharge of liquid leads to an increase of pressure, as the swelling fills the space between skin and muscle and restricts the lymph flow. The tape reduces this pressure and lymph congestions. The traumatized area is stretched while the tape is applied un-stretched. The skin, which retreats from the stretching, is now lifted by the tape. Convolutions appear in the tape which cause a reduction of pressure and an activation of the lymph flow.
