Equilibrium Therapy Massage Back Pad

The Equilibrium Therapy Massage Pad is an innovative design that is highly effective, affordable and easy to use. It is clinically proven to improve back flexibility and promote relaxation.

Shaped to follow the contours of the horse’s back, it provides coverage from withers to quarters and provides battery-operated 30-minute sessions, with three different, easily adjustable programs that allow you to choose the intensity of the massage to suit your horse's needs. These programs can be used as a warm-up before exercise, or during the day to help relax your horse.

How does the Massage Pad work?
The Equilibrium Therapy Massage Pad has three different settings – high, medium and low – which can be selected easily from the attached controller. This enables you to select the intensity of the program to suit your horse. Each program has three different types of massage – pulsing, vibration and stroking –to ensure all muscles are worked in different ways.

The Equilibrium Therapy Massage Pad can be easily incorporated into your warming up and cooling down routine. The medium setting is ideal to warm up muscles before exercise, the low setting can be used to cool down after work and the high setting for when your horse requires a more intense massage. Each session will last for 30 minutes however, this can be manually stopped at any time.

The Massage Pad fits an array of horses and ponies so can be easily transferred from horse to horse or pony. It comes in a handy carry bag which makes it ideal for use at home, away. It is easy to store in the tack room and is wipe clean. The bag also has useful storage spots for the battery and charger.

Benefits of Massage
Massage therapy has shown to help reduce back stiffness caused by injury and long-term chronic conditions such as arthritis. It does this by increasing the blood supply to the affected muscles and removing the build-up of toxins. Tension is often one of the most common reasons for poor performance and by increasing relaxation and improving back flexibility; the negative effects of tension can be reduced. Relaxed muscles will assist with flexibility and movement in particular for competition horses performing dressage movements and jumping technical fences.
