Equine PEMF

Use the therapy on your athlete that NASA uses on theirs! 

​Horses have been domesticated for thousands of years. What started out as necessity, using horses for work and transportation, has evolved into sport and pleasure.  We have moved horses from their natural environment of grazing in the fields, running only from predators and having the emotional comfort of their herd. Now they live in small paddocks, sleep in stalls with concrete floors, rubber mats and wood shavings, eat the meals that we feed them and socialize very little.  Taking care of a large animal is a multifaceted undertaking. Not only do you need to think about the quantity and quality of their food, safety of their environment but also the conditioning of their body, mind and nervous system. Pleasure horses are often considered another member of the family and sport horses are depended on as a teammate....and like any teammate we need to keep them strong, motivated & recovering quickly!

For athletes, recovery is number 1.  The faster we recover the better we train and the better we perform. Horses are athletes just like us and depend on us for their recovery time.  PEMF can be easily administered pre and post training and before and after competition.  Our horse’s 800 trillion cells intelligently communicate with each other faster than the speed of light.  With healthy cells and healthy blood the body has what it needs to heal itself as nature intended.
​
Horses are intelligent and sensitive creatures, they are a flight animal and run on instinct. Sleep is just as important for horses as it is for humans.  Many people think that a horse can sleep standing up.  This is a half truth, a horse can nap standing up but needs to have a few good hours of quality deep sleep laying down to function properly.  Being a flight animal a horse will only lay down if it is calm and feels safe and secure in its environment.  Using low frequency PEMF like the iMRS Fauna from Swiss Bionic calms their nervous system, helping them to relax in the man made environment that they live in. A relaxed horse is safer to be around, sleeps better and eats better, increasing its ability to absorb the minerals and nutrients that it’s being fed.

How is PEMF Beneficial for Sport Horses?

PEMF is used to treat a wide range of conditions affecting any horse, but is especially beneficial for equine athletes.  You will find that treatment protocols vary based on factors such as:

• Age of Horse
• Fitness/Health Level including other conditions, medications, stress level and more
• Age of Injury
• Daily Routine
• External factors including travel, competition, and stressors

PEMF can be used either as a preventative to injury or to treat specific equine conditions.  Listed below is just a sampling of the symptoms and conditions that can be helped with PEMF Therapy:

• Shortened Forelimb Stride
• Lameness
• Abnormal head carriage
• Muscle atrophy and stiffness
• Bucked Shins
• Ligament injuries
• Bowed tendons
• Fresh and delayed union bone fractures
• Fetlock and pastern injuries
• Sesamoid
• Bursitis
• Cancer / Melanoma
• Degenerative Joint Disease
• Tendon issues
• Arthritic conditions
• Pedal Osteitis and Degenerative Joint Disease
• Abscesses
• Hoof Cracks & Quarter Cracks
• Founder & Laminitis
• Navicular Syndrome
• Injuries to Metacarpals, Fetlock, Pastern & Sesamoids
• Suspensory injuries/DDFT
• OCD

The Treatment Process

PEMF treatments for horses are easy, simple and stress-free. Our world class PEMF system is the iMRS Fauna by Swiss Bionic Solutions which provides a practical, gentle and stress free application.  Our newly developed area applicators do not have to get in contact with the animal anymore. PEMF applicators can be hung within a box stall, standing stall, hallway or a simple suspension mechanism creating an energy “box”. The horse will be positioned in the “box” and is automatically and non-intrusively exposed to the applied pulsed electromagnetic field.

​The additional 2 leg applicators enable a more specific and local application for the lower extremities of the animal. The adjustable suspension mechanism and the choice of very durable yet light material ensure a fast, easy and highly effective use. These tendon boots can be adjusted higher or lower on the horse’s legs to address treatment as required in specific locations.

...or in the horse world a pound of gold!!

​Providing our sport and leisure horses PEMF Therapy is prevention on so many levels:  It helps in preventing soft tissue injuries that can take months out of training schedules: Digestive issues such as ulcers which cause not only pain but can lead to life threatening colic:  Degenerative joint disease that can lead to a lifetime of pain and/or injections or an early end to a horse’s career.  The benefit list is long when it comes to the preventative abilities of low frequency PEMF in horses.  Having access to a non-invasive device like the iMRS Fauna is a game changer for our very large best friends and fellow athletes!
