We use and recommend equissage physiotherapy treatment on all our horses and attribute a portion of our success to this. It is a vital part of our daily routine and our horses health and general well being. We also use this for rehabilitation on horses with injuries both internal and external.

Equissage has been developed from Niagara Therapy physiotherapy products that have been used on humans for both injuries and mobility for over 50 years. This equipment is used in hospitals, clinics and sports clubs. It’s also built into furniture for home use.

Through ongoing research conducted in Hospitals, Universities, and research institutions this form of treatment has been proven to be totally non-aggressive and free of side effects.

The medical benefits include increased circulation and lymphatic drainage, relaxation of muscles and increased joint mobility, which in turn produces better movement and performance for you and your horse.

The Equissage Back Pack gives a deep cycloidal massage to the whole horse. Due to the unique action of the therapy, the Back Pack actively improves circulation, eases and tones muscles, and promotes lymphatic drainage. This manual will show how to help with a number of specific conditions. Whilst in itself is not a cure, the use of the Hand Pack in conjunction with the Equissage Back Pack can significantly speed up healing of these conditions.

The Hand Pack should always be used in conjunction with the Equissage, as the action of the Hand Pack will be far more effective when the horse’s lymphatic system is already stimulated by the Back Pack.
