Revolutionizing Equine Health with Vertical Vibration Plate Therapy
Innovatively applied at the Equine Performance Center, Vertical Vibration Plate Therapy is a testament to our commitment to advanced equine healthcare. Originating from the space program to offset astronauts’ bone and muscle loss, this technology quickly found its way into the health industry for combating osteoporosis. Today, it stands as a pillar in physical therapy, rehabilitation, and fitness enhancement for equine athletes.
The Science Behind Vertical Vibration Plate Therapy
The essence of this therapy lies in its use of whole-body vibration technology, which mirrors the natural vertical forces encountered in walking, running, and jumping. This alignment with the horse’s natural movements helps prevent shearing or horizontal force-related injuries. By generating vertical vibrations, this therapy significantly improves circulation and oxygen uptake in muscles. It’s particularly effective in alleviating pain and inflammation in soft tissue injuries and plays a crucial role in accelerating hoof growth. Additionally, this therapy is instrumental in maintaining bone integrity and density, especially when exercise is limited or absent.
