Are there any side effects?

All of the massage systems in the Cyclo-ssage range uses Cycloidal massage action which is non invasive and there are no known side effects. Some horses may take longer to get used to the massage action, and we always advise that the System is used on the softest setting to start with to allow the horse to become accustomed to it. If your horse shows any signs of discomfort or unease do not use the system until you have sought advice.

Will the massage system help joint problems and arthritis?

The Pro Equine System has proved to improve performance and comfort levels in horses that suffer from stiffness and joint related problems.

How long does the treatment take?

Each programme lasts for 15 minutes.

Can I do any harm with the System?

The non invasive Cycloidal action means that existing problems are not aggravated by the system.

How should I introduce my horse to the System?

We recommend starting on the softest programme before and after exercise until your horse is used to the rug. Some horses enjoy the stronger massage straight away but we advise users to start slowly and gradually increase it over time.

How often can I use the System with my horse?

The system is better used on short intervals rather than long periods of time. With one 15 minute session prior to exercise horses have been seen to warm up better, and when used after exercise for 15 minutes lactic acid build up is reduced helping the horse to recover more quickly and more efficiently.

How do I clean the system?

The system has twin removable fleece linings as have the neck cover – these linings are removed and may be laundered in a washing machine. The System itself should not be exposed to water – however wiping down the fabric if necessary should be done with a mild detergent and warm water. For large yards we recommend purchasing several fleece linings to avoid cross contamination.

Can I leave my horse unattended when using the System?

We recommend that your horse remains tied up for the duration of the massage and you should not leave him unattended.

Why is it better to use Cycloidal massage rather than vibrational massage?

Cycloidal massage moves in three different directions rather than vibrational which only moves back and forth – this can cause damage to the skeletal structure. Cycloidal massage helps improve circulation which in turn speeds up healing and warms up the muscles.

How long will the battery last?

On average a charge will last 5 to 6 x 15 minute massage sessions – however unlike conventional batteries the state of the art Lithium Ion batteries used in Cyclo-ssage Systems do not hold memory so can be charged from half full without affecting it’s life.
