Magnetic therapy is a way of recreating an old Chinese medicine called acupuncture. The magnets draw the blood to the area where they are specifically placed for faster and better results. Magnets and FIR therapy combined activate blood circulation, which helps reduce inflammation, and muscles and joints stiffness. It also helps with oxygen flow, promotes relaxation and helps to warm and loosen up muscles without creating heat buildups.
Yes, our mesh is machine washable with fragrance free detergent and no frabric softeners. AIR DRY only; do not leave in the direct sunlight to air dry.
We recommend not leaving it on a horse for longer than 12 hours at a time. It takes a minimum of 20 minutes to see benefits. Each horse needs a different time of therapy; some need more, some need less. Watch your horse, he will most likely let you know. Magnetic blankets are a therapeutic tool that you don't have to worry about using too often.
When the horse has never been in contact with magnets before, start with a couple 1-hour session (one per day), and always keep an eye on your horse. Increase to 2-4 hours per day for the following days and from there, add a couple hours each time, up to 12 hours a day.
Do not use on a pregnant mare. Do not use with any heat creating medicines. Do not put in a dryer (AIR DRY OR LINE DRY ONLY). Do not use while excercising.
We carry 5 sizes: 68, 74, 78, 80 & 82. Our blankets are "True To Size". We have a size chart in our info page and in our products pictures for exact measurement. If we do not carry your usual size, we recommend a size smaller since our mesh should be fitted to your horse.
