Benefits of magnetic articles for horses

Our magnets

Magnetic Field Therapy by Torpol® blankets and guards have been created on the basis of the latest scientific achievement in the field of magnetic therapy. The neodyme magnetic activators (NMA) employed in Torpol® products have been specially created for the benefit of horses.  They are protected by  EU patent number 0793158BIOflex®PLUS. NMA have been magnetised with a constant circular magnetic field with fluctuating polarity. This technology allows for a safe transfer of the magnetic field directly into the cells. It can be used for a length of time, both in physiotherapy and preventatively. Especially recommended for  prompt recovery from injuries to the musculosceletal system, and for healthy horses to prevent injuries and improve achievement. All NMA BIOflex®PLUS are permanent magnets. Once magnetised, they only lose their magnetism when subjected to an extremely strong antimagnetic field or in temperatures over 80°C.
Apart from NMA we also use high-strength neodymium biostimulator magnets (NMB), otherwise known as permanent magnets, one of the rare earth group. These are the most recently (1983) discovered magnetic material created on the basis of neodymium and Nd2Fe14 iron. They possess the highest magnetism in relation to size.

All magnets used in Magnetic Field Therapy by Torpol® products stimulate regenerative processes by activating the body's natural potential. They increase cell metabolism and the effect of the magnetic field helps the dynamics of ion exchange. They regulate circulation and  improve the metabolism. More oxygen is delivered to the cells and so toxins can be eliminated at a much faster rate. As a result, the regenerative processes and convalescence are accelerated. 
Magnetic Field Therapy by Torpol® products can be successfully used to compliment    various natural therapies (acupuncture, chirotherapy, massage).
 
 
Magnetic Field Therapy by Torpol® blankets and  guards are protected by EU patent number GGM: 000967203-001/000967203-002,000967161-001. They have been especially conceived for horses employed in sport or recreation, recovering from accidents or injuries or retired animals. When selecting magnets, we considered both the type and the location, with particular attention paid to areas most prone to injury.   

Our research

Magnetic Field Therapy by Torpol® blankets and guards have undergone tests in the XL-vet Clinic in Wrocław. The research  was conducted on horses with diagnosed back pain. All animals had previously undergone pharmacological treatment. Both during and after physiotherapy, the horses were covered with Magnetic Field Therapy by Torpol® blankets and assessed on the basis of numerous criteria in the first, fourth and sixth month after  completion of treatment. The results indicate that Magnetic Field Therapy by Torpol® blankets  have a positive influence on the treatment and physiotherapy of painful back muscle syndrome. They are excellent in the treatment of degeneration in older horses, significantly improving their vitality.

 

 

During research on horses the following was ascertained:

  • impovement in elasticity
  • improvement of stamina during intensive training sessions
  • no significant deterioration in condition after training and/ or competition
  • elimination of back pain syndrome
  • rebuilding of back muscles
  • increase in vitality and a significant improvement of the musculoskeletal system
     
Magnetic therapy should not be used for pregnant animals, those being treated for open wounds, keloid or cancer. Products containing magnets should not be used in places frequented by pregnant women, people with pacemakers or electro-insulin devices, or near magnetic storage devices.
Any queries or doubts over magnetic therapy should be discussed with a vet.

Conditions in which  Magnetic Field Therapy by Torpol® blankets have a positive effect on the treatment:

  • disfunctions, including of the musculoskeletal system: muscle deterioration, bone changes in the lumbar region, inflammation of back, buttock and shoulder muscles
  • exertional metabolic myopathy,  such as equine rhabdomyolysis syndrome (ERS)
  • pain reduction in inflammatory and degenerative conditions of the joints and the spinal area in the lumbar and thoracic regions
  • alleviation of pain of multiple or unknown origin
  • reduction or  elimination of  muscle stiffness and  swelling

Diseases,  for the treatment of which Magnetic Field Therapy by Torpol® guards are recommended: 

  • disfunctions, including injuries to the musculoskeletal system: tendon and joint diseases in the fore- and hind legs, changes in bone structure, muscle inflammation, muscle deterioration, bone changes in the lumbar region, inflammation of the back, buttock and shoulder muscles, exertional metabolic myopathy, such as equine rhabdomyolysis syndrome (ERS)
  • pain reduction in inflammatory and degenerative conditions of the joints
  • alleviation of pain of multiple or unknown origin
  • reduction or  elimination of   muscle/joint stiffness and swelling, as in the case of arthrosis
