Infra-Red (IR) Therapy is gaining popularity as a safe method of natural health care and physiotherapy for both humans and horses. These specially designed Equine Solariums use a system of multiple large red lamps emitting Infra-Red (IR) rays. IR is a form of heat radiation, not to be confused with Ultra Violet (UV) radiation, which provides a source of artificial sunlight for stable kept horses. Solariums can help improve your horse’s performance and condition. The heat energy penetrates the skin into the underlying muscle and helps stimulate blood circulation. This improves muscle elasticity therefore helping recovery from and reduction of injuries. A pre-exercise warm-up under the solarium will relax muscles and improve training performance by increasing blood circulation. Solariums will also help your horse recover sooner after exercise as the stimulated circulation allows the muscles to absorb blood sugars more quickly also speeding up the elimination of waste products from their system.
