WHAT THE

studies says

Smart Pressure. ADVANCED Performance.

Pressotherapy — also known as
intermittent pneumatic compression —
has been used in human sports medicine
for decades to boost venous return and lymphatic drainage.

The same evidence-based method helps horses clear metabolic waste, reduce limb swelling, and recover faster after training, travel, or competition.

 

Scientific background:
Sequential compression enhances blood flow and lymphatic outflow, improving tissue oxygenation and fluid balance in the distal limbs.

By applying rhythmic, controlled pressure, pressotherapy stimulates circulation and supports muscle regeneration — driving faster recovery and better long-term limb health.

Performance results:

  • Reduces post-exercise edema and fluid retention in the lower limbs.
  • Lowers muscle fatigue and stiffness between training sessions.
  • Improves range of motion and overall comfort during recovery.
  • Shortens recovery intervals, keeping
    training consistent across the season.


Technology adapted to equine needs:

Polar Stride delivers controlled, even pressure through equine-specific cuffs, with programmes adaptable to each horse.

Portable, quiet and easy to operate — Polar Stride brings professional-grade pressotherapy to every stable.

EQUINE PRESSOTHERAPY

benefits

Improves Circulation & Oxygenation

Sequential pressure boosts venous return, delivering oxygen and nutrients more efficiently to working muscles.

Reduces Swelling & Fluid Build-Up

Activates lymphatic drainage to clear metabolic waste and prevent fluid accumulation in the lower limbs.

Prevents Stiffness & Aids Recovery

Regular sessions maintain soft-tissue elasticity, reduce soreness and prepare your horse for the next ride.
