EQUINE THERAPY; MAGNOTHERAPY for the EQUINE ATHLETE

Notes from a talk by Rebecca Smith BSc. (Hons.).
Equine Therapist, Owner of a Livery, Clinic and Therapy Centre.


Magnotherapy has been used by the industry for the last few decades at least, indeed it was first
used by the physiotherapy industry in the form of electronically controlled pulsed magnetic rugs.

Over the last few years the popularity of magnotherapy has increased dramatically.
This is no surprise considering the trend towards using alternative therapies and
a holistic approach towards equine management.

Magnotherapy is one of the few therapies which can be administered;
without veterinary approval and without any training at all although a basic knowledge of horse exercise
physiology undoubtedly assists in the effectiveness of the therapy.


 

BIOFLOW MAGNOTHERAPY

Bioflow magnetic horse products (and some human products) can assist with a huge range of diseases and 
injuries in the horse. 


Here are a few examples:

 

Bioflow Rugs

1.Assist with the muscles of the horse prior to exercise as well as assisting in post-exercise recovery; particularly useful in preventing and managing equine rhabdomyolsis syndrome.

2.It can help prevent muscle injuries and as a result, problems in the lower limbs.

3.It has been documented that the rug can reduce stress whilst traveling and improve performance at competitions and in schooling sessions.

 

Bioflow Boots and Tendon Wraps

1.Bioflow magnets can reduce inflammation, pain, and improve blood supply, therefore helping to heal lower leg injuries
such as tendonitis, bursitis, lymphangitis, sesamoiditis, torn ligaments, stress fractures, arthritis, laminitis, wounds and a whole list of equine afflictions.

2.During hard exercise there is a degree of strain placed upon the horse's bones, particularly in the forelegs. 
Studies have shown that the bones of the horse remodel due to stresses placed upon them.
Magnetic boots can assist in keeping the bones in the horse's legs healthy and may prevent stress fractures and arthritis forming.

3.The lower legs of the horse have a good blood supply very close to the surface and by using Bioflow products in this area the horse's whole body benefits from the therapeutic effects of the magnets, which is similar to using a magnetic wrist band on a human.

 

A Couple from many Testimonials

1.A horse was unable to be ridden without endless lungeing.
The Bioflow rug was placed on the animal for no more than half an hour, then the rider was able to mount and exercise without difficulty.

2.A horse reared over and damaged the pelvic bone.
The horse had to be tied in the stables so as not to cause further damage.
The Bioflow rug quieted the horse and aided much quicker recovery.
