Description

Performance horses and ponies rely on their hocks for power, agility, and movement. Whether competing in racing, jumping, dressage, showing, barrel racing, or reining, these horses place immense strain on their hock joints. Proper care and management of the hocks are essential for maintaining soundness, preventing injuries, and ensuring longevity in their careers.

The inner lining of the Mirotec Hock Wraps have full Mirotec panels, which is highly effective at managing infrared [FIR] radiation, helping to relax muscles, improve flexibility, and minimize lactic acid buildup. FIR significantly affects a horse’s lymphatic system, particularly in therapeutic applications. The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in fluid balance, immune function, and waste removal, and FIR therapy is commonly used to enhance detoxification, mobility enhancement, circulation, reduce swelling, and promote healing.

Mirotec Hock Wraps aid in the relief and healing of injured muscles, joints, and tendons. Ideal for injury prevention and are especially beneficial for warming up muscles before riding. These wraps can be used alongside conventional medical treatments to accelerate injury recovery and prevent the weakening of muscles and ligaments. With just a 60-minute treatment session, your horse benefits from high-intensity lymphatic stimulation, supporting overall health and performance.

Given the vital role the lymphatic system plays in overall equine health and performance, the Mirotec Hock Wraps offer a reliable way to provide targeted therapy treatment whenever needed.

Benefits
Enhanced Circulation and Fluid Balance
The lymphatic system plays a vital role in removing waste, toxins, and excess fluids from tissues. Unlike the circulatory system, it lacks a pump like the heart and relies on muscle movement and external stimulation to function efficiently. The Mirotec Treatment Range supports lymphatic flow using advanced Mirotec space blanket technology, which reflects natural infrared radiation and moist heat to promote:

Reduced swelling and fluid retention, particularly in the legs

Improved circulation to aid recovery after exercise

Less stiffness and faster recovery from muscle fatigue

Muscle Recovery & 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 byproducts, reducing discomfort and promoting mobility. The Treatment Range helps to:

Accelerate post-exercise recovery

Reduce muscle fatigue and stiffness

Strengthen immunity and overall health

Immune System Support
A sluggish lymphatic system can weaken immunity, making horses more prone to infections, slow healing, and overall poor health. By enhancing lymphatic drainage, the Treatment Range can:

Support the immune system to help fight off infections

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 Treatment Hock Wraps provide targeted stimulation to keep their system functioning efficiently.

Always introduce new situations and Mirotec products to your animal carefully. Take it slowly and gently, allowing the horse or pony to look and sniff the product before fitting the Mirotec. We have not received reports of animals refusing Mirotec products; however, noises may make some wary at first. By the second or third use, most animals become quite accepting and confident. Generally, you will notice that animals appear more relaxed while wearing Mirotec products.
