Equilibrium Massage Mitt Hotspot

Encourage your horse to relax with the Equilibrium Hotspot Mitt, giving comforting heat and massage in one handy bit of kit! This Hotspot Massage Mitt provides targeted treatment to the muscles, allowing you to tailor your horse's care depending on what they need. Why not try this pad on yourself too?

This Equilibrium Massage Mitt Hotspot Heat Pad gives multiple benefits for your horse; it's ideal for relaxing muscle tension, helping tired muscles to recover, increasing circulation, and preparing the muscles prior to stretching. This mitt offers the choice of heat and two types of massage, giving full versatility. The lightweight, portable design of this heated massage mitt allows you to reach any area when required, with the quick and effective ten-minute programs fitting easily into your daily routine.

• Use the cyclical massage setting when you are holding the Hotspot Heat Pad still to target a specific area or trigger point
• Use the continuous massage setting when moving the Hotspot Heat Pad in a sweeping action over larger areas, allowing delivery of the same massaging action to the muscles.
• Use heat to help increase circulation to the area: this is normally used for sensitive horses/areas or on muscles prior to stretching.
• Heat and massage together offers the ultimate combination: this is best used in one area, or over a small area.
