How does PEMF work?
Essentially, if we had to narrow down the benefits to one - we would speak to the circulation changes PEMF can produce and how circulation is so important to vitality of tissues, recovery from injury and nutrition of the body. On the flip side, we can also speak to the benefits of PEMF from a practitioner standpoint and offering circulation aids in the healing and restoration of the body. Our Magna Wave machine is ideal due to its adaptability: including treatment application options and the intensity within to match the needs of each body.

Our MagnaWave PEMF is an excellent option for recovery from work and injury.
It is customizable in duration, location and intensity allowing for a custom approach to every case!

Your horse’s stomach is the second stop along the equine digestive tract and the smallest of the digestive organs at 2-4 gallons in size.
The equine stomach is a common place for equine gastric ulcers and consistently produces acid to assist in the breakdown and processing of the food’s nutrients.
Since the horse is constantly producing acid and the organ itself is small in size, it is presumed the horse should eat frequent small meals!
Not much is processed within the stomach, other than the start of protein digestion due to enzymatic activity, but it serves a key preparatory role for the small intestine and large intestine.

There’s a common misconception that the winter hair coat growth is due to temperature changes and the role blankets play in staving of the growth but contrary to this belief, the change in hair coat is due to the change in photoperiod duration throughout the course of the day. In some breeding barns, especially, horses receive artificial lights to mimic a summertime photoperiod to influence fertility and their hair coat. The photoperiod changes stimulate changes in the pituitary which is responsible for fertility hormone processes, melatonin production and more.

Interstitial fluid moves around the body in a vast network of nodes and vessels in the equine body, providing lymphatic fluid to all of the cells and tissues within, as a way to carry oxygen and nutrients across the body. Additionally, the body filters waste out through the lymphatic system.

Since horses evolved to move most of the day, the movement of the body is key to lymphatic movement and congestion can set in with minimal turn out, given the lack of pumping action within the lower legs at a stand still.

The equine body has 12x the lymph nodes compared to the human body!

MagnaWave is a great tool in working with scar tissue as it permeates the fibrotic tissue well and increases circulation to the tissue that otherwise would not have much vasculature. Any extra circulation increased is powerful for recovery, healing and tissue wellbeing.

The importance of saddle fit goes beyond comfort—it's about your horse's overall well-being. Poor saddle fit can lead to pinched nerves, restricted blood flow, and muscle soreness.

These issues can cause your horse to develop compensatory habits, leading to further musculoskeletal problems.

Our saddle fit assessments provide detailed insights into how your saddle interacts with your horse's anatomy, ensuring optimal comfort and performance.

Magnawave can be a great tool for injury and wound recovery in conjunction with veterinary support. As we increase circulation, we can aid in reducing swelling, the immune support drawn to the area and many report a faster recovery to the tissues. We’d love to help your horse, dog or other animals with recovery from an oops!
