Contrast therapy—switching rapidly between heating and cooling—is thought to advance the healing process by alternately dilating and constricting blood vessels in the injured area, thereby stimulating waste removal and nutrient delivery while also reducing swelling and inflammation.

The VitalWrap-Equine System applies universally accepted procedures for treating sports injuries. When used properly, the Vital Wrap-Equine System reduces pain, muscle spasms, tissue damage, and swelling, ultimately allowing for faster and better healing and recovery. The combination of cold, heat and compression is the hardest part of this regimen to implement effectively. The VitalWrap-Equine System provides a practical and efficient treatment which helps your horse heal quickly and comfortably.

Preventing injury
While cold can help repair damaged tissue and curb exercise-induced inflammation, veterinarians recommend heat therapy prior to riding to make muscles more flexible and prevent injury. The VitalWrap-Equine System applies alternating heat and cold therapies to legs and hocks that increase blood flow and loosen up joints and tendons, offering an easier way to prepare your horse for the demands of a strenuous workout or competition. The result is a reduced risk of strain and better overall performance.

In addition to treating injury, the VitalWrap-Equine System is ideal for:

• Pre-workout warm-ups
• Pre-competition warm-ups
• Flexibility treatment
