Mirotec therapy for equines

Our range of equine therapeutic products features the award-winning Mirotec space blanket technology in the inner lining. This Mirotec lining reflects natural infrared radiation and heat, enhancing blood circulation while allowing moisture to permeate. This assists with wound healing, pain relief, and tissue repair. Using Mirotec products promotes blood flow to the affected area, delivering more oxygen and nutrients for healing and reducing discomfort.

Mirotec therapy for equines

Mirotec is a micro-perforated, metallized reflective foil that is laminated to a supportive polyester substrate. This unique construction allows for optimal heat retention and moisture management, enhancing the therapeutic benefits of our products. The combination of materials ensures durability while effectively delivering the soothing warmth and comfort needed for deep tissue relief.

When using Mirotec therapeutic products, equines experience several key benefits:

Enhanced Blood Circulation

Infrared Radiation Reflection:
The Mirotec Rugs and Wraps reflect body heat, boosting blood flow to the targeted areas.

Pain Relief:
The stimulation of C-fiber mechanoreceptors helps alleviate pain effectively.

Promotes Body Fluid Circulation

Improved Lymph Function:
The Mirotec Rugs and Wraps enhance lymphatic circulation, aiding in toxin removal and reducing swelling.

Enhanced Venous Circulation:
They improve venous blood flow and capillary pulsation, further supporting overall circulation and tissue health.

Together Blood Circulation & Body Fluid Circulation, contribute to faster recovery and greater comfort

Impact on the Nervous System

Parasympathetic Activation:
Mirotec Rugs and Wraps activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and improved muscle tone.

Continuous Pain Relief:
Stimulation of C-fibers provides ongoing pain relief, enhancing comfort during use.

Stimulation of the Immune System

Enhanced Lymph Flow:
The Mirotec Rugs and Wraps improve lymphatic circulation, boosting immune responses and overall health.

Detoxification:
They assist in eliminating toxins, germs, and larger molecules, supporting the body’s natural defenses and tissue health.

Improvement of the Lymphatic System

Toxin Removal:
A healthy lymphatic system is essential for removing toxins and supporting immune function.

Combatting Lymph Stagnation:
Factors like fatigue, stress, and inactivity can hinder lymph flow, leading to toxin buildup and accelerated aging. Mirotec Rugs and Wraps help counteract these issues, promoting better lymph circulation and overall well-being.

Because of Mirotec’s effects on circulation, metabolism, and nerves, Mirotec also plays a vital role in the rehabilitation of chronic injuries. Such injuries, defined as having symptoms that persist or develop over time, present a special challenge to diagnose and to treat in horses.

Why Mirotec Therapeutic products are so effective?

Reflection of Body Heat for Enhancing Blood Circulation

Continuous stimulation of C-fiber mechanoreceptors yields inhibitory effects, acting as an analgesic against pain.

Promotion of Body Fluid Circulation:

This initiates lymph function and circulation, indirectly bolstering overall blood circulation. It fosters venous circulation, enhances re-absorption in blood capillaries, and elevates capillary pulsation.

Nervous System Impact:

Stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system induces relaxation, alleviates spasms, and enhances muscle tone. Consistent activation of C-fiber mechanoreceptors exerts inhibitory effects, acting as an analgesic against pain.

Stimulation of the Immune System:

The passage of lymph through lymph nodes stimulates the immune system, affecting both cellular and humoral immunity. This stimulation of lymph circulation triggers immune reactions and promotes antigen/antibody presentation. The flow of lymph helps eliminate toxins, germs, and large molecules, effectively removing waste and promoting immune defenses.

The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in eliminating toxins, germs, and large molecules that the venous system cannot access. It effectively clears “trapped proteins” and fat molecules from tissues. As lymph passes through the lymph nodes, these filtration centers manage immune defenses by discarding waste and germs and circulating lymphocytes, which are specialized white blood cells that produce antibodies.

The importance of the lymphatic system for immune strength, tissue health, and overall well-being is clear. Nonetheless, lymphatic flow can become stagnant or stop altogether due to factors such as fatigue, stress, emotional and muscular shock, a sedentary lifestyle, and certain food additives. When lymphatic circulation slows, it impedes the supply and regeneration of cells, leading to an accumulation of toxins, accelerated aging, and a host of physical ailments.

The Mirotec Advantage

Mirotec therapeutic rugs and wraps support and enhance lymphatic circulation, helping to alleviate these challenges. By promoting better lymph flow, Mirotec aids in detoxification, supports immune function, and contributes to overall equine well-being.

The difference between our Therapy Rugs and Treatment Range

SnugRug & TecRug

Mirotec (strips) inserted throughout rug, this allows the rugs to self regulate to your equines comfort. Both rugs can be used 24/7, delivering continuous lymphatic benefits of lower intensity.

Mirotec VetRug

Two fully movable Mirotec panels cover the saddle muscle and sacroiliac joint, ensuring easy maintenance. A 60-minute treatment delivers consistent, high-intensity lymphatic benefits.
