Learn how you can incorporate our equine massage gun and 3B cold laser
into your horses maintenance and care routines. The correct physical
functioning of an equine needs optimum post-workout management and
rehabilitation. It is evident that physical rehabilitation, when
combined with medical therapy, quickens the recovery of horses.

Advancement in technology has provided us with tools to make equine
rehabilitation easier than in years prior.  Cold laser therapy (LLLT)
and massage therapy can help your horse to accelerate its recovery time.
We will discuss in this article why a handheld cold laser (LLLT) and
equine massage gun are must-have tools in your horse-care kit.

During a strenuous exercise, competition horses experience
micro-injuries at their muscle-fiber level. Even in pleasure horses,
muscles of the body face soreness and fatigue. During jumping and
endurance, tendons and ligaments are stretched to their threshold level.
All these vigorous activities need appropriate management of a horse
before and after exercise.

The purpose of using different types of therapies is to provide a
horse with a healthier lifestyle. In some conditions, a holistic
approach using both medicinal therapy and rehabilitation tools produces
synergistic effects. Tools like an equine massage gun and/or 3B cold
laser device are worth using to reduce the incidence of injuries,
increase recovery rate and reduce the overall stress.

In modern horsemanship, equine massage therapy has proven its
effectiveness on horse performance. From physical strains to mental
health problems, equine massage therapy with our Percussion Equine
Massage Gun provides high benefits to the well-being of your horse.

What is the concept of percussion massage therapy?

Percussive equine massage therapy
helps to eliminate muscle soreness by increasing blood flow to the
significant muscle tissues. This effect reduces inflammation and
decreases muscle tension. You can also use percussion therapy to warm up
your horse ahead of a run or even normal activity to enhance its
performance, endurance, and flexibility. Studies show that massage guns
are an effective method to prevent delayed onset muscle soreness. That
means the horse is less likely to feel muscle pain after intense
activity, which increases the endurance and the ability to perform in
well condition consecutive days.
