NEW VERSATILE POWER PAD FOR YOUR HORSE

NEW VERSATILE POWER PAD FOR YOUR HORSE 

FMBS therapy systems have brought a host of innovative yet practical technology to the equestrian market including the Activo-Med Combi rug systems, and they have now introduced the new Power Pad to the range. 

The Activo-Med Power Pad can be used to treat the horse's neck, withers, shoulder, saddle area, lumber and rump.  The pad offers three types of therapy: Pulsed Electromagnetic, Cyclonic Massage and Laser and can be purchased with a combination of one, two or all three therapy types.  The system uses the same control box as the Activo-Med rugs, so existing customers may purchase the pad only at a reduced cost.  The control box allows you to run any combination of therapies at the same time and, like the rug, the settings can be changed to suit your needs.

The Activo-Med Combi rugs provide sequenced pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) and cyclonic massage therapy.  Recent research using thermal imaging and gait analysis has shown a marked improvement in the way of going and length of stride of horses, after using the Activo-Med system on a pre-warm up setting.  The system is becoming increasingly popular with riders and trainers and is used by many professionals including Great Britain's William Fox-Pitt, Nick Skelton, Carl Hester, Ruth Edge, Pippa and William Funnell, and champion National Hunt trainer, Paul Nicholls. The Activo-Med rug is now available in two variations, the Activo-Med Combi Pro and the Activo-Med Combi Sport, to meet the needs and pockets of a wider market.  The systems are practical and portable, making it as easy to use at shows and competitions as it is to use in the yard. 

William Fox-Pitt, the World's 2008 top ranked Event Rider, says:  "Having used the Activo-Med Combi System for nearly 3 years now I can honestly say it's worth the investment 10 times over!  Whilst the Activo-Med systems are excellent for rehabilitation, I use the pulsed electromagnetic and massage rug on all the horses both before they are worked to loosen and relax their muscles and after to aid the recovery process. 

The magnetic element of the system is particularly effective and the Combi Pro has become a very important part of our daily routine for optimising each horse's performance.  The systems are easy to use, breathable, lightweight and horse-friendly."

The new Activo-Med Power Pad is already proving a popular addition to the range.  Prices range from £500 for single therapy without control box, to £1,100 for the complete Power Pad system with all three therapies including the control box.

FMBs therapy systems offer a range of pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF), cyclonic massage, laser, magnetic and hot/cold + compression therapy products suitable for horses, riders and their dogs.  Safe and practical, these therapies can be used for a whole range of conditions including muscle tension, soft tissue damage, slow healing bones, degenerative joint and muscular diseases, inflammation, sport injuries, circulatory and metabolic disorders and arthritis.  They can also be very effective when used pre warm up and post exercise.
