Equilibrium Massage Mitt Hotspot
The Massage Mitt Hotspot heat pad for horses allows a tailored massage and/or heat session to meet your needs! Offering comforting heat and massage options, the Hotspot heat pad soothes and relaxes your horses hard-working muscles.
Not just a heat pad for horses, you can:
- Use cyclical massage for your horse if you are holding the Hotspot heat pad still. This is useful when targeting a specific area.
- Use continuous massage for your horse if you are moving the Hotspot heat pad over larger areas. This allows each sweep to deliver the same massage.
- Use the heat for your horse on its own for a gentle session to aid healthy circulation. This is ideal for sensitive horses or those returning to work. Heat is also perfect to help warm up muscles prior to stretching your horse.
For the ultimate session, use heat and massage together! This is best suited when holding the Hotspot heat pad in one area or sweeping it over a smaller area.
Using the Hotspot heat pad on yourself.
The Massage Mitt Hotspot is not only for horses! It’s easy clean material means you can use it on yourself too! As rider ourselves, we know all about the aches and pains that come from time in the saddle. Using the Massage Mitt Hotspot on yourself can help ease them.
BENEFITS OF HEAT AND MASSAGE.
Our horses work hard for us with a lot of pressure being put onto their muscles through exercise. Massage and heat are two simple ways in which we can help support healthy muscle function in our horse.
Massage.
Performance depends on freedom of movement, full flexibility and an absence of musculoskeletal pain, all of which can be improved using massage. These factors also contribute towards keeping your horse comfortable and happy in general too!
Benefits of Massage include:
- Helps maintain healthy blood and lymph circulation
- Soothes tired muscles
- Supports recovery after exercise
- Promotes relaxation
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.
Benefits of Heat include:
- Helps maintain good oxygen supply to muscles
- Encourages muscle relaxation
- Increases flexibility
