Description

Targeted Hock Support

Performance horses and ponies rely heavily on their hocks for power, agility, and movement. Disciplines such as racing, jumping, dressage, showing, barrel racing, and reining place significant strain on the hock joints.

Proper hock care is essential for maintaining soundness, preventing injury, and ensuring long-term performance and career longevity.

Lymphatic and Muscle Function

The inner lining of the Mirotec Hock Wraps features full Mirotec panels that manage FIR infrared radiation, helping to relax muscles, improve flexibility, and minimise lactic acid build-up.

FIR therapy plays a crucial role in supporting the lymphatic system, which is responsible for fluid balance, immune function, and waste removal. It is widely used to enhance detoxification, improve mobility, boost circulation, reduce swelling, and promote healing.

Mirotec Hock Wraps aid in the relief and healing of injured muscles, joints, and tendons. They are ideal for injury prevention and especially beneficial for warming up muscles before riding.

Used alongside conventional veterinary treatment, these wraps can help accelerate recovery and prevent the weakening of muscles and ligaments.

With a 60-minute treatment session, your horse benefits from high-intensity lymphatic stimulation, supporting overall health and performance.

A healthy lymphatic system is essential for overall wellbeing, recovery, and performance. The Mirotec Hock Wraps provide a reliable way to deliver targeted therapeutic support whenever required.

Benefits

Enhanced Circulation and Fluid Balance

The lymphatic system removes waste, toxins, and excess fluids from tissues but relies on muscle movement and external stimulation to function efficiently. The Mirotec Treatment Range supports lymphatic flow by reflecting natural infrared radiation and moist heat to promote:

• Reduced swelling and fluid retention, particularly in the hocks and lower limbs
• Improved circulation to aid recovery after exercise
• Less stiffness and faster recovery from muscle fatigue

Muscle Recovery and Performance

Performance horses accumulate metabolic waste such as lactic acid, which can lead to soreness and stiffness. An efficient lymphatic system helps flush out these by-products, reducing discomfort and promoting mobility.

• Accelerates post-exercise recovery
• Reduces muscle fatigue and stiffness
• Strengthens immunity and overall health

Immune System Support

A sluggish lymphatic system can compromise immune function. By enhancing lymphatic drainage, the Mirotec Treatment Range can:

• Support the immune system to help fight infection
• Promote faster healing from injuries or wounds

Support for Aging, Injured, or Resting Horses

Horses recovering from injury, aging, or on limited exercise often struggle with lymphatic flow due to reduced movement. Treatment sessions with the Mirotec Hock Wraps provide targeted stimulation to help maintain healthy lymphatic function.
