Proactive Care for Performance:
Prehabilitation — addressing minor strains before they evolve into major injuries — is the future of elite equine care.
When it comes to performance horses, the demands of disciplines like dressage, show jumping, and eventing place significant repetitive strain on the delicate structures of the lower limbs — particularly the tendons and ligaments. The KorWrap, used with the EquiPod’s multi-frequency microcurrent therapy, is specifically designed to target these critical areas, promoting recovery, supporting tissue integrity, and helping to manage the wear and tear that can lead to injury.
Common Injury Sites:
🔴Superficial Digital Flexor Tendon (SDFT): Especially vulnerable in jumping and eventing, the SDFT endures high loads during takeoff and landing, leading to a high risk of tendinitis (strain or tearing).
🔴Deep Digital Flexor Tendon (DDFT): Plays a key role in stabilizing the limb, especially during collected movements in dressage; injuries here can be insidious and often harder to detect early.
🔴Suspensory Ligament (SL): Both the body of the suspensory and its branches are critical for supporting the fetlock. Strains, desmitis, and microtearing are common in disciplines requiring sharp turns, sudden collection, or heavy landing forces.
🔴Collateral Ligaments and Annular Ligaments: Often stressed during tight lateral movements and uneven landings, these ligaments can develop chronic strain and inflammation.
Why KorWrap?
The KorWrap's form-fitting design ensures precise coverage of the areas where these structures run, maximizing the delivery of microcurrent therapy. Regular use can help:
✅️Improve circulation and cellular metabolism in the tendon and ligament tissues.
✅️Aid in managing microtrauma before it escalates into larger injuries.
✅️Support recovery post-exercise, minimizing residual inflammation and promoting tissue elasticity.
✅️Help maintain overall leg health, crucial for the longevity of competitive horses.
Integrating the KorWrap into your horse’s maintenance routine, especially after high-impact training or competition, can play a key role in keeping your horse sound, supple, and competition-ready.
