Activo-Med products are available for hire, and we often find this is a helpful option for clients who may only wish to use the system over a short period of time (ie. leasing or trailing a horse, or as part of a specific recovery plan). Activo-Med systems are also available to be purchased at any stage during the hire period – we’ll even remove the hire fees you’ve already paid from the sale price.

Many of our clients find the combination of PEMF and Massage in Activo Med highly successful when travelling – we have riders who regularly travel across the Nullabor or interstate for competitions, and use the Activo Med to get their top horses in peak conditions quickly. We are also seeing a number of riders who have imported horses using Activo Med to get them back to full health (as the import process can be tough) as quickly as possible.

The Activo-Med Therapy System is can be programmed to specifically target your horses’ problem areas using the highly adaptable controller. With Pulsed Electromagnetic Field & Massage Therapies, the Activo-Med system is the ONLY system offering this complete combined treatment.

To target a specific torn and/or pulled muscle/ligament issue, the controller should be set to deliver a treatment at an intensity of between 1-3 mT, with a starting frequency of 2-4Hz, increasing to 8.

Absolutely. Both our laser and leg wraps have specific programs designed to assist with lower limb fractures and splints. To assist in reducing splints, qe recommend using the leg wraps twice a day on sequence S07. If you have access to the laser, this is optimal, and should be used on t5, F8,I6,L8.

The German designed and manufactured Activo-Med therapy system is the only system in the world that combines two therapies (both PEMF and Cyclonic Massage) in one easy to use system.

The therapy is distributed evenly over the entire horse in an effective rug. The therapy works in the direction of venous blood flow, and consists of 19 PEMF coils and 14 Cyclonic Massage Modules. These treat the horse from poll to tail, with specific attention on each shoulder, and on each stifle.

Combining these two therapies is the ultimate treatment for keeping performance horses in top condition, as well as aiding in recovery from ailments including muscular problems (back, tying up etc), tendons, fractures, joints, metabolic issues, and more.

Absolutely! Activo-Med’s Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF) can assist in loosening up the muscular system, making it an ideal addition to warm up exercises. The PEMF combines with the Cyclonic Massage to boost circulation and promote an increase in cellular oxygen levels, maximising the efficiency of your training. Post-training, the use of Activo-Med can assist in the acceleration of healing processes, and stimulate lymphatic draining.

Our riders have often commented on the difference Activo-Med has made to their warm up and cool down routines, with many noting an increase in their horses’ suppleness during work, and a decline in post-ride (and event) recovery time frames.

We’ve had great feedback from riders who’ve used the system to help keep on top of competition nerves – we even have a range of relaxation programs which have been specifically built for this purpose. Each sequence begins with a gentle, non-invasive pulsed magnetic treatment, increasing blood flow to the muscles and relieving tension. Following this, a light, rolling massage sequence will begin, further promoting an overall relaxation.

You can run up to three attachments at a time from each Pro controller – a common set up is to have the Combi-Pro rug connected along with front and hind leg wraps. Our Elite Performance and Speedy Rehabilitation packages each come with two controllers, meaning you can treat two horses at once, or run a leg specific program from one controller and a rug and laser program through the second controller at the same time. This means that you can tailor your therapy to directly treat the soft tissue of the tendons and ligaments in a leg, whilst also addressing the large muscle mass on the rump.

Yep – super easy! We’ll set up a range of specific programs and sequences for you, and will give you an easy to read treatment sheet outlining what each program is designed to do. Simply pick a program, turn the controller on, scroll to the option you want, and hit ‘start’. Plus, don’t forget you can set your own – and that we’re always here to help!

The Activo-Med batteries are engineered to be very long lasting. Generally speaking, you should get around 20 treatments out of a single charge – although this may vary slightly depending on the type of treatments you’re running, and the attachments you’re using.
