Massage Pad Testing

The Equilibrium Massage Pad was independently tested by Myerscough College and the findings showed:
Increased Flexibility
Results showed an overall improvement in back flexibility of approximately 46%.
Stride Length
The stride length of the treated horses increased over the period of the test by 12cms, whereas the control group showed little improvement.
Promoting Relaxation
Using a heart rate monitor, horses wearing the Equilibrium Massage Pad showed a decrease in heart rate when compared to the horses in the control group.
Choosing your Hotspot's Settings

LOW – for a relaxing massage after exercise, on a day off and when introducing it for the first time.
MEDIUM – for general maintenance and everyday use as a warm up aid.
HIGH – for horses who prefer a more intense massage or those with thicker coats or are overweight.
Use cyclical massage if you are holding the Hotspot still to target a specific area.
Use continuous massage if you are moving the Hotspot over larger areas. This allows each sweep to deliver the same massage.
Use the heat on its own for a gentle session to increase circulation. Ideal for sensitive horses and perfect prior to stretching your horse.
For the ultimate session, use heat and massage together! This is best suited when holding the Hotspot in one area or sweeping it over a smaller area.
Benefits of Massage
Massage and heat are two simple ways in which we can help support healthy muscle function in our hardworking horses.
Massage.
Performance depends on freedom of movement, full flexibility and an absence of musculoskeletal pain, all of which can be improved using massage (Gellman, 1998). These factors also contribute towards keeping your horse comfortable and happy in general too!
Benefits of Massage include:
Maintain healthy blood and lymph circulation.
Soothes tired muscles.
Supports recovery after exercise.
Promotes relaxation.
Benefits of Heat

Using heat is a great way to help sensitive horses who may find massage too much. Heat is non-invasive, gentle and well accepted with many associated benefits.
Research suggests that tissue temperature needs to increase by at least 3 to 5°C from the resting temperature (Bockstahler et al, 2004). However using something that is too hot could cause discomfort and even damage to the tissue.
