Due to the shape and mobility of the joint, the hock/heel is one of the most difficult places to treat. An injury to the hock is a common problem that can be caused by heavy load, old age, bone abnormalities or as a result of lying incorrectly (on hard ground). To treat this specific spot, Horseware has developed the innovative Ice-Vibe Hock Wraps that can cool, heat and vibrate. due to the clever design, the wraps stay perfectly in place without sagging.
The wraps can be used for existing injuries, but also preventively. The Ice-Vibe products have built up a very good reputation in equestrian sports and are recommended by many doctors and therapists.
In the hock wraps cold packs and vibration strips can be attached. This combination of cooling and vibrating is very effective. Cooling inhibits inflammation and swelling. The use of the vibrating strips stimulates the lymphatic system. In addition, it simulates the blood circulation that occurs when the horse is naturally in motion while standing still. An optimal blood circulation is essential for a good recovery because it contributes to the removal of waste products from the body and the supply of oxygen-rich blood to the legs. It has a beneficial effect in case of swelling, strains, arthritis, injuries to the tendons and attachments and it limits the formation of scar tissue.
The hock wraps are wireless, easy to use and the compact size makes them easy to carry. The cold packs can be used both hot and cold. The cold/heat therapy and vibration can be used separately or in combination which makes the Ice-Vibe Hock Wraps suitable for different applications. The vibration strips are rechargeable by means of the included charging cable and are equipped with an automatic timer.
The anatomically shaped neoprene boots have pockets on both sides of the heel in which the vibration strips and cold packs can be inserted. due to the clever design, the hock can still be bent while wearing the wraps.
