Effects of OptiFlow® on the legs
Flow Regeneration System
In horses that exert themselves heavily, microcirculation can be disrupted, potentially leading to leg problems. OptiFlow® stimulates microcirculation, leading to the following important effects:
Reduces swelling
Heavy exertion often results in (painful) swelling. Swelling, in turn, increases pressure on the small blood and lymphatic vessels, which then drain fluid less effectively. This creates a vicious cycle, causing swollen legs to persist for a long time. OptiFlow® ensures that this discomfort disappears quickly.
Increased blood circulation to the muscles.
The continuous effect of OptiFlow® on the legs increases blood flow to the muscles. This positively impacts the supply of nutrients and oxygen, and the removal of waste products and carbon dioxide. This is crucial for peak performance and recovery.
Promotes thorough recovery
Using OptiFlow® also improves blood flow to the muscles themselves, ensuring continued circulation.
Reduction of tissue reaction
Heavy training and overuse lead to a tissue reaction similar to inflammation. Pain, swelling, and tenderness typically lead to limited mobility and reduced performance due to reaction factors and impaired circulation. The Equiflow® prevents these reactions by improving blood flow, effectively resolving the tissue reaction. This alleviates symptoms associated with heavy training and declining performance.
Improved muscular blood flow
The continuous massaging effect of the Equiflow® increases blood flow to the muscle. Not only is more blood transported to the muscle, but blood flow within the muscle itself is also enhanced.
