Using the system to warm up and cool down before and after exercise |

When using the System on a regular basis horses have been seen to warm up better, work softer throughout their training or competition and recover quicker.
As you will be aware of in yourself – if you don’t warm up properly you are at risk of injury – whilst not cooling down properly leads to more acute aches and pains after exercise. In order for our horses to maintain peak performance they too should be warmed up and cooled down correctly and the Cyclo-ssage Pro Equine Massage System aids in this.
When used before exercise the cycloidal massage action helps to warm up the muscles meaning you can get a better quality of work once you begin riding. Just 15 minutes on the ‘Warm Up’ programme is enough to kick-start your session. When used post exercise it helps to gently relax the muscles and reduce the build up of lactic acid which causes muscular tightness and aches.
Leading show jumper TIM STOCKDALE uses it for this very reason. “When used prior to exercise the horses are definitely more relaxed and softer when ridden. Equally - it's beneficial once they have finished work - by helping to break down the lactic acid and generally improving their recovery. The system is now an important part of our management routine at home and when we are away competing."
