Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF)
Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Field therapy is now being used on horses and their riders in nearly EVERY competitive equestrian discipline and is fast becoming the norm for equine performance enhancement, health maintenance & healing!
How does it work?
PEMF therapy increases cellular membrane permeability by mechanically contracting the cells and by stimulating the opening of ion channels through the cell membrane. This allows better circulation of oxygen and nutrients into the cells; and carbon dioxide and waste products out of the cells.
PEMF works to IMPROVE:
Pulse Centers PEMF systems are safe for all ages, unless you have an implanted electronic device including a pacemaker, defibrillator, cochlear hearing device, are pregnant, or are actively bleeding.

PEMF works to IMPROVE:
- Circulation
- Immune system
- Bone and wound healing
- Bone density
- Range of motion and muscular function
- Neuromuscular response
- Cellular energy levels
- Cellular metabolism
- Utilization of nutrients
- Pain and stiffness
- Inflammation
- Spasms
- Stress and anxiety
- Bruises
- Build up of lactic acid & cellular waste

A HEALTHIER CELL MEANS A HEALTHIER BODY
Equine Massage
Massage therapy is a very valuable tool in prevention as well as remedial therapy. Massage stimulates circulation, improves removal of lymphatic waste and can break down adhesions to improve muscle function. Additionally, equine massage can increase the activation of the Parasympathetic Nervous System (rest and digest) and reduce activation of the Sympathetic Nervous System (fight or flight). When in this relaxed state, healing of the body can occur.
Benefits Of Equine Massage
Benefits Of Equine Massage
- Pain relief
- Improved flexibility and range of motion
- Improved proprioception
- Improved circulation and lymphatic fluid movement
- Decreases stress by stimulating the release of endorphins.
- Improved posture, circulation, hair coat, muscle tone
- Injury prevention
Kinesiology Taping (Equi-Tape)
For years, world-class athletes and weekend warriors alike have recognized the benefits of elastic kinesiology tape for rehabilitation of injuries, injury prevention and training. Now, Equi-Tape can be used to address a variety of equine conditions. The effect of Equi-Tape® is based on its ability to interact with the skin and associated neurosensory and mechanoreceptors. Latex free for sensitive skin, this elastic cotton two-way tape has advanced adhesive properties for ease of application, removal and placement. It stays on in all weather conditions.
Overall Benefits of Kinesiology Taping
Overall Benefits of Kinesiology Taping
- Increase oxygen supply and circulation
- Support joints, tendons and ligaments
- Decrease inflammation, swelling and associated pain
- Reduce fatigue
- Aid in reducing healing and recovery time
- Assist joint and muscle movement encouraging full range of motion
- Aid in metabolic waste removal therefore allowing muscles and joints to work more efficiently
Red/Infrared Light Therapy (Photizo Vetcare)
The Photizo Vetcare is a light therapy device that uses red and infrared light at specific wavelengths for accelerated healing. Simply put, the red and near-infrared light penetrates your animal’s skin, blood, muscle and bone with specific wavelengths of photons. The photoreceptors in the animal’s cells absorb this light energy, which enhances the healing process by giving the cells a boost of energy. This relieves pain, stimulates cells to repair and heal, reduces swelling and inflammation, and stimulates the immune system.

Benefits of Red/Infrared Light Therapy
- Skin conditions: wounds, lacerations, abscesses, saddle sores, skin allergies, eczema, etc.
- Musculoskeletal problems such as arthritis, tendonitis, overuse injuries and muscle spasms
- Post-op: any area treated surgically, including skin grafts
- Viral-related conditions and sinusitis.
