High Performance Equine Athletes Use Whole Body Vibration

Before competing, vibration therapy provides an optimal substitute to a traditional warm up. Using this alternative allows muscles to be stimulated and prepared for significant movement without the substantial energy exertion that comes with traditional exercises.

If an injury does occur and a horse is unable to exercise, a decrease in bone density is likely to occur. Horses experience a loss of minerals because they are lacking stimulation to the bones to signal a need to retain these minerals. However, this may be prevented with the use of EquiVibe vibration therapy, which provides significant stimulus to the bones and helps prevent loss of bone density during prolonged periods of inactivity.
