However, it is important that heat is delivered at the correct temperature, and for an appropriate amount of time to achieve the desired effects.\n\nIf temperatures are not high enough, there is unlikely to be any significant effect to the tissue. If temperatures are too high, or are left in position too long, then tissue damage may occur.\n\nHeat Sensor Technology\n\nOur Heatsense Pad has therefore been thoroughly tested to ensure the heat is delivered in accordance with supporting research. A range of sources determined the following necessities for the Massage Pad Heatsense.\n- Heat is delivered between 40-45 degrees Celsius.\n- The target temperature is maintained for 15 minutes.\n- The heat should never exceed 45 degrees Celsius for an extended period of time.\n\nDue to the risks associated with heat, and the narrow target window for therapeutic heat, we developed an intelligent monitoring system that is constantly checking the temperature being delivered to the horse. This adjusts accordingly to ensure a repeatable session is experienced each time the pad is used.\n\nThis is especially important in a product that is strapped to the horse, that they cannot easily move away from.\n\nAs the temperature reaches the target of 42 degrees Celsius power to the heat pads will cut out. As the temperature drops again, power to the heat pads will resume. This process continues to ensure the horse receives 15 minutes at the target temperature.\n\nThis monitoring system will also help prevent the pad heating tissue that is already hot, whether that is due to ambient temperatures, or if the horse has just been exercised. The left and right side of the pad also work independently of each other, meaning one side could be receiving heat, even if the other is too warm.\n\n","brand":"Equilibrium Massage","offers":[{"title":"Standard","offer_id":47393239630138,"sku":"35864","price":589.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/0483\/4106\/files\/HeatsenseStudioWeb.png?v=1763982295"},{"product_id":"equilibrium-heatsense-battery","title":"Heatsense Battery","description":"\u003cp\u003ePower up with the Equilibrium Heatsense Battery, suitable for powering the Equilibrium Massage Pad Heatsense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh performance Heatsense battery designed so you can use it more and charge less!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-year guarantee.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse it in your \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/eptest199.myshopify.com\/products\/equilibrium-massage-pad-heatsense\" title=\"Equilibrium Massage Pad Heatsense.\"\u003eEquilibrium Massage Pad Heatsense.\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Equilibrium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47393239662906,"sku":"35871","price":89.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/0483\/4106\/files\/HeatsenseBattery.jpg?v=1716390167"},{"product_id":"equilibrium-heatsense-battery-and-international-charger","title":"Heatsense Battery and International Charger","description":"\u003cp\u003ePower up with the Equilibrium Heatsense Battery \u0026amp; International Charger Set, suitable for powering the Equilibrium Massage Pad Heatsense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh performance battery and charger set designed so you can use it more and charge less!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-year guarantee.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse it in your \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/eptest199.myshopify.com\/products\/equilibrium-massage-pad-heatsense\"\u003eEquilibrium Massage Pad Heatsense.\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Equilibrium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47393239728442,"sku":"B0004","price":129.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/0483\/4106\/files\/HeatsenseBattery.jpg?v=1716390167"},{"product_id":"spare-magnets-4-x-short-black","title":"Spare Magnets for Magnetic Chaps","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComes with washable pillow packs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be moved anywhere within the Magnetic Chap lining to target specific areas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible and comfortable against your horses legs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 year guarantee.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 cm long.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do the magnets work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body’s cells have electromagnetic properties which means they can be energised by a magnetic field.

There were two groups of horses – a treated group and a control group.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTest Methods\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBack flexibility was assessed using the ‘Arch Dip Test’. The Arch \u0026amp; Dip test is a reliable and proven indicator of back flexibility (Pelham \u0026amp; Schobesberger 2006). It involves the use of pressure stimulus to generate a reflex in the horses’ back. Pressure applied to a specific region in the spinal area results in the horse ‘dipping’ away from the pressure, with a more flexible back allowing the horse to exhibit a greater ability to dip away from the source of the pressure. The arch test involves the application of pressure to the horses’ midline, in order to stimulate an upwards arch reflex in the horses’ back away from the source of pressure. Similarly, a more flexible back allows the horse to exhibit a greater ability to arch the back upwards away from the source of the pressure.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe results, following six weeks of testing, showed that the massage pad offers significant benefits to horses. A significant increase in back flexibility and relaxation was noted, but it also showed an increase in stride length.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIncreased Flexibility\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMassage helps to promote flexibility in healthy muscle tissue, fascia, and other soft tissue fibres. The effects of massage on flexibility can be measured using the 'Arch Dip' test to determine the amount of upwards or downwards bend of the horses' back. Test results from the trials demonstrated an overall improvement in back flexibility of approximately 46%.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStride Length\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe trial showed that the stride length of the treated horses increased over the period of the test by 12cms, whereas the control group showed little improvement.

Re-conditioned pads have been seen by a qualified electrician to check and repair if necessary, they may have been restitched, they are then fully cleaned and tested before being packed for sale. So you can be sure that if you buy a re-conditioned pad it is in full working order and you are saving one from landfill.   Reconditioned Standard Massage Pad sent complete with: • High-Performance Battery \u0026amp; International Charger • Carry bag • 1 Year Product Guarantee   The Equilibrium Horse Massage Pad was developed through clinical trials at Myerscough College, UK. The innovative design provides effective, affordable equine massage for horses and ponies sized 14.1hh – 16.1hh or in 5ft9 – 6ft3 sized rugs. Battery operated 30-minute sessions – give your horse or pony a massage while you complete other yard tasks. Choose the intensity of the massage from 3 different programs. Lightweight and portable – take it with you wherever you go. Massage more and charge less with our high-performance battery \u0026amp; universal charger. What are the benefits of massage for horses? Massage is well known for its ‘feel good’ factor and has been shown to aid relaxation, and assist with the maintenance of healthy muscle and muscle function. Tension is often one of the most common reasons for poor performance. By increasing relaxation and improving back flexibility, the negative effects of tension can be reduced. A relaxed horse, with relaxed muscles, will move with fluidity and suppleness which is particularly important for competition horses performing dressage movements, and those jumping technical fences. What is the material used within the Standard Massage Pad? The Massage Pad is made up of polyurethane, or PU, with foam padding. The PU outer makes the product extremely hardwearing, but also hygienic – which is ideal if it is shared between many horses and ponies. It is resistant to water and grease, but also to fungus. This material paired with the padding also makes it comfortable for the horse. Four massage motors are positioned in the target areas for horses and ponies. There are two either side of the wither and another two just behind the saddle area. The careful design of the massage pad then facilitates the spread of the massage along the back muscle. Who is the Standard Massage Pad for? While this Massage Pad is suitable for multiple sizes of horses, the size who most benefit from the standard size are those 14.1hh – 16.1hh, or in 5ft9 to 6ft3 rugs. Pony and XL sizes are available for horses and ponies either side of that range. You can use the horse Massage Pad before riding, after riding or on a day off! Here's a few scenarios: Horses on box rest to maintain good circulation. After exercise to help support recovery. Before exercise as part of warm up. At a show after travelling to relax. On your horse or pony’s day off as general maintenance. Anytime as a reward. How does the Standard Massage Pad work? The control panel allows you to select low, medium or high settings and as a result, you can choose the intensity of the program to suit your pony. Each program runs through a cycle of three different types of massage – pulsing, vibration and stroking –to ensure all muscles are worked in different ways. Choosing your setting: LOW for cool down after exercise, for a sensitive horse or to introduce the pad to your horse for the first time. MEDIUM to warm up the muscles prior to exercise or for general maintenance. HIGH if your horse prefers a more intense massage. The massage pad will run for 30 minutes before turning itself off automatically however, you can manually turn it off sooner if needed. It can be used on its own or in conjunction with the hand-held Massage Mitt for an all over massage, or the Massage Mitt Hotspot to combine heat and massage. Massage Pad Testing: We take pride in researching and testing our products. The Equilibrium Massage Pad was independently tested by Myerscough College in Lancashire, UK. The results, following six weeks of testing, showed that the massage pad offers significant benefits to horses. A significant increase in back flexibility and relaxation was noted, but it also showed an increase in stride length.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Equilibrium","offers":[{"title":"Pony","offer_id":53341453746562,"sku":"36205recon","price":229.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Standard","offer_id":53341453877634,"sku":"36663recon","price":269.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"XL","offer_id":53341454107010,"sku":"38278recon","price":299.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/0483\/4106\/files\/massage-pad-hr.jpg?v=1727772462"},{"product_id":"massage-pad-heatsense-copy1","title":"Reconditioned Clearance Massage Pad Heatsense","description":"\u003cp\u003eEquilibrium Massage Pad Heatsense\u003cbr\u003eAchieve ultimate relaxation with comforting heat and massage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombining reliable, tested, and intelligent heat with proven massage*, the NEW Heatsense is a great addition to your horses’ daily routine to maintain good back health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• The choice is yours – pick from heat and three intensities of massage.\u003cbr\u003e• Reliable, tested therapeutic heat output with sensors to turn heat off\/on depending on your horse’s temperature.\u003cbr\u003e• Heat targeted to the most common areas of weakness.\u003cbr\u003e• Six Massage motors evenly distributed across the pad. \u003cbr\u003e• Fits into your daily routine with a 30-minute programme.\u003cbr\u003e• Shaped to follow the contours of the horses back with 90cm coverage from withers to quarters.\u003cbr\u003e• Battery operated to take it with you wherever you go.\u003cbr\u003e• Covered by a 2-year guarantee. \u003cbr\u003e• Contains 1 x Massage Pad Heatsense, 1 x Storage Bag, 1 x Equilibrium Heatsense Battery, 1 x Equilibrium Heatsense Charger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeatsense is available in one size designed to fit horses 14.1hh and upwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Based on the popular Equilibrium Massage Pad clinically proven to improve back flexibility and promote relaxation tested at Myerscough College, 2007.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat inspired the Massage Pad Heatsense for horses?\u003cbr\u003eWith the Massage range already helping horses worldwide, it seemed only natural to add the next best thing – heat!
