The tack shop next door to the yard where I keep my horse Riley recently purchased a TheraPlate. I had heard of TheraPlate however hadn’t seen it first-hand and as Riley had injured his leg, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to speak to Sally the owner of the tack shop and book a session.
Sally owns Tack Shop 4U and had bought the TheraPlate to be able to offer sessions to her customers horses and for two ponies that she herself owned who had problems with laminitis.
Firstly, what is TheraPlate?
From the UK distributors www.theraplateltd.com ‘TheraPlate is a totally unique therapy platform which uses advanced, patented technology called Vortex Wave Circulation Therapy. This technology does not create any form of vibration during the process. Vortex Wave Circulation is driven solely by Centrifugal Force – a force that appears to act on a body moving in a circular path and is directed away from the centre around which the body is moving. When the motion created by the platform acts upon the body, the resulting involuntary muscle contraction promotes blood circulation to areas of the body not usually targeted when standing still. Vortex Wave therapy administered through TheraPlate is seen as an alternative therapy for a variety of chronic conditions and is widely used for rehabilitation and recovery following injury or exertion.’What is TheraPlate used for?
