Horsepower Plate

What is it and how does it work?

The Power Plate is a fixed structure which vibrates vertically ⬆️⬇️
It works in conjunction with other physiotherapy equipment, to help stimulate hoof growth and aid healing of lower limb injuries; such as suspensory ligaments/tendons.
GKVP Horse Powerplate

The Horsepower Plate provides vertical vibration therapy. It results in stimulating the muscle tissue to rapidly relax and contract, increasing circulation and effecting joint receptors.

Different frequencies used provide different effects on the tissue and thus it is important that its use is conducted by a professional therapist. Incorrect frequency settings can have an adverse effect and hence why it is important when treating lameness, that they acquire a diagnosis from their veterinary surgeon before being referred for therapy.

Conditions that respond well to correct Power Plate usage are :-

  • Tendon lesions
  • Suspensory Ligament abnormalities
  • Stifle problems
  • Poor hoof growth
  • Laminitis
  • Poor muscle tone and general stiffness
