What is infra-red therapy?
Infra-red
therapy is a safe and effective tool in equine muscle management, it is
mostly used on soft tissues such as skin and the underlying muscle. The
warmth and energy generated by the Infra-red stimulates cell activity
and increases the blood flow, bringing with it increased amounts of
oxygen and nutrients. The increased metabolic activity and circulation
will also reduce any pain and sensitivity.
Infra-red
therapy provides many of the health benefits of natural sunlight but
without the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation. Infra-red therapy
is not advocated as a miracle cure for all illnesses, but what it does
do is stimulate and assist the bodies own natural immune system.
