Recovery and fitness using the whole body vibration therapy

Having a horse injured can be quite devastating for a horse owner. With the vibration therapy it is possible to speed up the recovery process.

Horses need to be exercised to be fit. When they have to participate in races or shows they need to be given some warm up so that they don’t injure themselves. The vibration therapy is a great warm up before a race or a show. Once the intensive activity is over the horses can be given a cool down on the vitafloor vibrating platform. This also ensures prevention of any injuries the horses could face.

Whole Body Vibration for healing injuries

When your horse has been injured it has to be taken off the exercise program. This can be a real set-back in the fitness and training aspect for the horse. Horses are prone to injuries especially in the legs as they perform very intense activities. The whole body vibration using the vitafloor is a good therapy to heal injuries especially in the ligaments and tendons.

Vibration Technology for muscle development

There is a variety of fitness programs a horse has to undergo to develop different muscles in his body, like back muscles, legs etc… With the vibration technology it can help to give the horse an all-round muscle development. This technology works using the vitafloor platform, and the tilt in the floor helps in the muscle development of the horses.

Recovery and fitness for sick or injured horses

Horses that have been ill due to sickness are usually put on box rest and not exercised till they are better. When horses have been on rest their muscles become weak partly due to the illness and also due to the lack of exercise. In these situations the horses need to be reintroduced to an exercise regime gently. With the vibration therapy it can help to get the blood circulation active especially to the vital organs and help in recovery and fitness.
