Equissage Pulse are pleased to announce the results of scientifically proven research, recently published on the Journal of Equine Veterinary Science website, into the benefits that a 20-Minute Cycloidal Vibration has on Whole Horse Locomotion and Thoracolumbar Profiles.
Carried out by Centaur Biomechanics, the independent blinded randomised controlled study delivers a verdict of the positive efficacy of cycloidal vibration therapy when administered via the Equissage Pulse.
The study, approved by the ethics and welfare committee of University Centre Sparsholt, showed that the Equissage Pulse increased the range of motion on a random selection of animals by a statistically significant amount when compared to a placebo group. Benefits of treatment with the Equissage Pulse showed an increasing range of motion, increased stretch to help prevent injury and improvements on general joint and muscle flexibility.
‘The equine therapy market has many products available but until now there has been very little if any peer reviewed randomised controlled scientific evidence to support the efficacy of these products1’, said Philip Ellin, Group Managing Director. ‘ By undertaking this study we are very proud to be able to confirm that the positive effects that many horse owners have already seen with the use of Equissage Pulse are now scientifically proven’.
The full paper of the original research is available to read on the Journal of Veterinary Science website www.j-evs.com
