The Facts about EST Thermoskin

Heat has long been used for the treatment of injuries: not only can it ease pain but it can also have a definite effect on the healing process.

Through the use of Equine Sport Therapy Thermoskin products it is possible to utilise the effect of heat not only at rest but more importantly during physical activity. EST Thermoskins act as an insulator of the horses body heat. It accumulates this heat and reflects it back, thus increasing the temperature of the area beneath. 

For the performance horse an efficient warm up programme is essential to prevent muscle injury once hard exercise has begun. Proper warm up prior to exercise heats the muscle, increasing it's elasticity. The collagen fibres making up the ligaments and tendons also have increased stretchability when heat is applied. In short warming an area increases flexibilty thus reducing the likelihood of damage when the muscles, tendons and ligaments are asked to work to their full potential.

For rehabilitation purposes the heat increases the blood circulation to the site of the injury. Increased circulation speeds up the removal of accumulated fluids that cause stiffness and swelling, this in turn speeds up the natural healing process ensuring a quicker return to fitness.

The Material

The material is unique because it is made of a 
spiral furnished
material called Thermoskin.

Thermoskin offers a microscopic massage of the
covered area, promoting blood circulation  
and arousing the skin.

The special structure of the material allows the 
skin to 'breathe' so maintaining a healthy, 
therapeutic environment by dissipating excess heat and sweat which accumulates during physical activity. 
 
Thermoskin is able to provide up to 12 hours 
wearability without causing skin irritation or 
discomfort.


The EST Thermoskin Numnah
The EST Numnah not only warms the weight bearing muscles of the back but its double thickness in the seat area gives it impact resistant properties.
