What Is It?
A solarium is a device designed to produce short-wave infrared light and heat similar to that produced by the sun. Unlike the sun’s rays, a solarium doesn’t produce harmful UV rays. Light therapy has many beneficial uses – it reduces pain, colds, damaged tendons/ligaments and helps to relax muscles.
What Does It Do?
The heat therapy helps to improve blood circulation aiding muscle suppleness, allowing horses to work at their optimum and reducing the risk of injury.
They are also great for aiding recovery and relaxation after work.The solarium can be used to warm your horse up prior to their treadmill session, or whilst they are on the Combi floor.
BENEFITS
As mentioned above, one of the most significant benefits of a horse solarium is that it helps optimize your horse’s metabolism rate. This ensures that your horse is in tip-top condition and performs at his best.
Horse solariums encourage cell regeneration. As a result, this helps improve the elasticity of your horse’s muscles. Because of this, your horse becomes more supple.
Because solariums encourage faster tissue regeneration, another added advantage they bring to the table is that they help your horse heal faster from injuries. From soft tissue injuries to fractures, recovery depends on the rate at which new cells are regenerated, and a horse solarium enhances cell recovery rate.
Horses that undergo solarium therapy are less prone to injuries. This is simply because of the increased muscle elasticity that leads to improved suppleness. Solariums also promote muscle development, leading to your horse being stronger and better balanced. This also helps in the reduction of injuries.
One of the most significant benefits of a horse solarium is that it helps boost your horse’s immune system. This is because solarium therapy stimulates the production of white blood cells, which are a crucial component of your horse’s immune system. More white blood cells mean your horse can fight off sickness and disease more efficiently.
Improper warm-up (or lack of it) can cause muscle pain in your horse. It can even lead to serious injuries. A warm-up session under a horse solarium is an excellent way to help loosen and relax your horse’s muscles. As a result, muscle pain is reduced and performance is enhanced.
Post-workout, a solarium therapy session is also helpful, as it stimulates increased blood flow. This speeds up the delivery of oxygen and essential nutrients to the cells. Both are crucial for your horse to recover quickly.
