Ice-Vibe Tendon Boot

Ice-Vibe was designed to give riders and owners an alternative, non-invasive, drug free product to help repair damage and prevent injury to their horse's legs. These rechargeable, vibrating boots work to reduce soreness and swelling, while helping boost circulation. The massaging effect of Ice-Vibe encourages movement of the lymphatic system, drains inflammation and stimulates repair to damaged tissue. Using Ice-Vibe before exercise can help reduce the risk of injury by increasing blood flow to the tendons and ligaments, making them more elastic. Everyday wear and tear on joints can be managed with daily use of the boots. Rehabilitation can be achievely much more quickly and effectively.

Tendons do not return to their normal temperature as quickly as muscles when cooled as they don't have the same blood supply or metabolism. Because of this, cooling the legs for long periods of time may actually cause an inflammatory response. These boots are designed to cool the tissue via cold packs to slow down the blood flow and reduce inflammation. However, when combined with massage therapy blood flow is not completely restricted, allowing oxygen to be maintained to tired and damaged tissue and ensuring a better recovery. Another advantage to Ice-Vibe technology is the break down of scar tissue. When an area is healing, scar tissue forms. The vibration in the boots massages the area, helping to break down adhesions and scar tissue while increasing blood flow to improve healing.
