TheraPlate
A TheraPlate is a therapeutic platform used for horses that utilizes whole-body vibration therapy. It is designed to help improve the overall health and performance of horses by providing a non-invasive treatment option.
Benefits of a TheraPlate for Horses:
-
Improved Circulation: The vibrations help increase blood flow, which can enhance oxygen delivery to tissues and promote healing.
-
Reduced Inflammation: The therapy can help decrease swelling and inflammation, which is beneficial for recovery from injuries or surgeries.
-
Pain Relief: It can provide relief from chronic pain conditions by stimulating the nervous system and reducing muscle tension.
-
Enhanced Muscle Tone and Strength: Regular use can help improve muscle tone and strength, which is beneficial for performance horses.
-
Increased Joint Mobility: The vibrations can help improve joint flexibility and range of motion, which is important for maintaining overall mobility.
-
Stress Reduction: The therapy can have a calming effect on horses, reducing stress and anxiety levels.
How a TheraPlate Works:
The TheraPlate works by using low-amplitude, high-frequency vibrations that are transmitted through the platform. When a horse stands on the TheraPlate, these vibrations stimulate the horse's muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This stimulation can lead to various physiological responses, such as increased circulation, muscle activation, and joint mobilization. The therapy is typically administered in short sessions, and the intensity and duration can be adjusted based on the horse's specific needs and condition.
