Validating BEMER Equine Therapy With Research

Back pain is present in over 90% of the population of working horses. It’s a significant problem that has the potential to result in suboptimal performance, lost training days, behavioral issues, rider falls, substantial treatment expenses and potential loss of career for the horse. Underlying causes are vast, hard to pinpoint, and often include poor saddle fit, weak abdominal muscles, hypertonic back muscles, lameness and spinal problems. Treatment of back pain can be extremely challenging and typically involves a multi-modality approach to resolve. The common goal in the treatment of affected horses aims to alleviate discomfort, muscles spasms and stiffness associated with chronic back pain.*
