Equissage is an equine physiotherapy system which helps horses and ponies of all ages, sizes, fitness levels and competition ability. The system has been developed by Niagara Healthcare Plc whose products have been used on humans for both injuries and mobility for more than 50 years. The Equissage pad gives a deep cycloidal massage to the whole horse and due to the unique action of the therapy, the pad actively improves circulation, eases and tones muscles, and promotes lymphatic drainage.
