Benefits of Massage include:
- Massage is well known for its ‘feel good’ factor and our Massage Pad 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.
Usage
- The Massage Mitt has three different settings, which can be selected easily from the mitt control panel.
- You can select the intensity of the program to suit your horses’ needs.
- Each program has three different types of massage: pulsing, vibration and stroking.
- This ensures the muscles are worked in different ways. Each session lasts 10 minutes which allows enough time for full coverage over the horses’ muscle groups.
- The low setting can then be used as part of a gentle cool down.
- The medium setting can be used to help warm muscles up prior to exercise or on a day off.
- The high setting can be used for those horses that prefer a more intense massage.
All Over Massage
- Use the massage mitt in a slow sweeping motion over all muscle groups (neck, shoulder, back, hindquarters and hamstrings) running in the same direction as the hair.
- Spend 2 minutes on each muscle group, making sure that you repeat this on both sides of the horse.
Specific Area Massage
- Spend longer on the areas that are specific to what your horse needs.
- We suggest 4 minutes per targeted muscle group, again being sure to do the same on both sides of the horse.
Suitable For
- At rest/retirement.
- In work from hacking to competition. This includes horses returning to work or retraining.
- For older horses.
- Horses on box rest, standing in for long periods of time or on limited turnout.
