WHAT SAYS
COMBINED EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACH
Cryotherapy and pressotherapy work together to deliver dual-action recovery: cold controls inflammation and pain, while controlled compression restores circulation and lymphatic drainage.
The result is faster, more complete recovery — from cellular repair to performance readiness.
Scientific background:
Local cooling reduces tissue temperature, metabolic activity and inflammatory mediator release; sequential pneumatic compression enhances venous return and lymphatic outflow, improving oxygen delivery and removal of metabolic waste.
Studies in human sports medicine and equine rehabilitation support this synergy, showing better outcomes than either modality alone.
Performance results:
• Quicker reduction of swelling and soreness, improving comfort after intense work.
• Shorter recovery intervals between sessions, maintaining training consistency across the season.
• Improved stride symmetry and joint mobility, especially in distal limbs.
• Lower fatigue markers (CK/LDH) and perceived stiffness following combined cold-compression protocols.
Technology adapted to equine needs:
Polar Stride integrates controlled cooling with even, programmable compression in equine-specific cuffs.
Portable, quiet and easy to operate — bringing evidence-based combined therapy to the stable, the showground, and daily routines for both competition and leisure horses.
EQUINE PRESSOTHERAPY
Cryotherapy controls inflammation and pain, while pressotherapy restores circulation and drainage. Together they promote faster healing, reduced stiffness and overall muscular balance — helping horses recover more efficiently.
By accelerating the elimination of lactic acid and promoting tissue oxygenation, the combination of both methods allows horses to train harder and recover quicker, maintaining consistent performance through the season.
The Polar Stride system is designed for professional riders and everyday horse owners alike. Portable, lightweight and easy to use, it provides professional-grade recovery without medication or supervision, fitting into any stable routine.
NEXT GEN DEVICE
Polar Stride merges controlled cooling and intelligent compression into one powerful recovery tool.
Developed by equine physiotherapists and inspired by elite sports medicine, it delivers real, measurable results — enhancing comfort, preventing injuries and promoting lasting wellbeing in horses of all levels.
