The Waldhausen Health + Care Infrared FlexPad is an innovative solution to promote muscle relaxation, blood circulation and regeneration. Targeted deep heat gently warms the horse"s muscles, relieves tension and stimulates the metabolism. The pad is particularly suitable for support before training, for relaxation after exercise, or for complementary therapy for muscular problems. The three functions can be controlled individually: Infrared light intensity: 3 levels Spectrum: 660 nm + 850 nm, irradiance level 1: 11 mW/cm² , Level 2: 18.5 mW/cm² , Level 3: 32 mW/cm², Temperature: 38 °C-48 °C ± 3 °C, Vibration: 3 levels: Level 1: light continuous vibration, Level 2: continuous vibration, Level 3: intervals. The two fastening straps allow the Infrared FlexPad to be used on the leg or neck — for a wide range of applications.

Typical applications for the Infrared FlexPad in horses:
The infrared pad can be used in a variety of ways and is particularly suitable for supportive use in the following areas:
- Muscle tension and muscle regeneration: The heat can stimulate blood circulation in the muscles for better relaxation before or after intensive training sessions. It is also often perceived as beneficial where the muscles have been overloaded or are tight.
- Joint support: The effect of heat can help to loosen the joints and promote mobility. The pad is also often used to support age-related movement restrictions.
- Tendon and ligament areas: In sub-acute phases following overuse or minor injuries, heat can have a supportive effect to reduce swelling and improve circulation.
Caution: Do not use in acute phases, as heat can be counterproductive in such cases.
- Preparation before training: The pad is suitable for activating the muscles before training. It can be used to gently prepare the muscles and reduce the risk of tension.

Information on use:
Never use on acute inflammation (e.g. fresh tendonitis, open wounds).
Consultation with a vet or equine therapist is recommended, especially for chronic or complex problems.
