Many therapy tools have a common goal of increasing blood circulation to speed up healing
time and to decrease muscle tension.

A therapy product that is widely used among riders, trainers, and equine practitioners is
electromagnetic therapy blankets.

Electromagnetic blankets have a long-standing history in the U.S. Many well-known
veterinarians and riders use therapy blankets for maintenance and rehabilitation purposes.

Electromagnetic fields increase the blood circulation, therefore speeding up healing time and
relaxing sore muscles.

Here are some facts about electromagnetic therapy:

• The benefits of magnets have been known for thousands of years….. Over 50 Million
people use magnotherapy worldwide
• “In the US alone, over 100,000.00 treatments annually are given using
electromagnetic devices for such things as bone fusions, inflammation, tennis
elbow, sprains, back aches, and most types of pain” (29).
• “The FDA approved electromagnetic devices in 1978, primarily for bone fusions
and relief of body pain, edema, and similar ailments” (10).
