1) The practice of icing down legs before and after a race should be considered as much of an out of date practice as bloodletting. Of course ice reduces swelling but it also impedes the natural healing rate and can cause more injuries rather than prevent them.
2) Any athlete, human or animal before a workout or a race needs to warm up muscles to get the circulation going. Muscles often become tight and if not warmed are more prone to injury. Muscles are elastic or stretchable, but there are limits to this. This limit is called the stretch reflex. Simply put, the stretch reflex is a muscle contraction within the muscle itself. When a muscle hasn't been properly prepared for strenuous exercise it can contract or tighten up, causing strains or tearing of the muscle fibers. Warming up causes blood vessels to dilate and allows for optimal elasticity of the muscles.
3) Strenuous exercise leads to microscopic tears in the muscle, which leads to inflammation and soreness, a process that is an important step in the muscle getting bigger and stronger. Muscles are made up of protein filaments that shorten, leading to a contraction. As the body repairs those microscopic tears, it builds new, healthy, and strong muscle tissue.
4) Icing down the legs goes against common sense! The best treatment is using Far Infrared Leg Wraps. Far Infrared heats evenly the inside and out to enhance blood flow and oxygenation. FIR reduces pain, inflammation and swelling plus accelerates the natural healing process. FIR treatment is the most advanced practice being used by professional and amateur athletes today
Is It True That, Unlike Our Competitors, EyeOn Equine Will NOT Cause Overheating?
YES! This is true for two reasons. First, the EyeOn compound doesn’t contain any ceramic material that reflects or traps heat.Second,the EyeOn Compression and Support Wraps are made with very soft, non-irritating, breathable foam that has a breathable, Velcro receptive, textile backing. The EyeOn compound is mixed into the foam solution before manufacturing. The far infrared properties will not wear out during the life of the product.
* The breathable foam products have been used as compression and support therapy systems for many years prior to the introduction of the EyeOn compound. These products were tested by certified, independent laboratories to ensure none of the chemicals or dyes used would cause any irritation to animals and people. Additionally, independent labs conducted skin contact tests by having people wear small product pieces for 28 days to against any adverse effects.
* Marly Coppens of The Netherlands - Student Animal Physiotherapy, BSc. Physiotherapy, Musculoskeletal Ultrasound and her team conducted a study to compare the skin temperature of the distal limb under a bandage or a tendon boot with that of a bare limb, at rest and after 20 minutes of lunging by use of sensors and thermography.

Hannah C - Scotland/North Windham, ConnecticutOur jumper's leg started to blow up and fill with fluids after competitions. The vet scanned the horse with ultra-sound and said it wasn't a bowed tendon, just fluid and swelling. I've been using the EyeOn® pads and had very good experiences with them. I decided to try EyeOn® pads on the legs, first laying the pads right on the skin, then applying the sheet cotton and finally the wrap. I wrapped the leg just before noon and removed them the following morning around 7:30 The swelling was completely gone and I found no need to use any other medication. There was no sweating either. EyeOn worked on me, the dog and horse. I've even used EyeOn pads on my horses' backs to relieve pain. There is no other product that works as well as this!
Don’t Your Horses Deserve To Be Pain Free, Affordably--Without Risk Of Overheating?My mom's boyfriend, Scott, was talking to your representative and checking you guys out. Scott is a farrier and has been so for almost 40 years. As you may know, a farrier's job isn't an easy one; it can wear down the body. This is the case for Scott. Along with other joint pain, being a farrier has taken a hard toll on his elbow, making him take further action to help it through a recent elbow surgery. Scott had this surgery a little prior to coming to the equine affaire, and had his arm in a sling. It's been a painful recovery which has hampered some of his capabilities. He decided to stop by to your booth to chat. After talking with you for a while, you were Very kind to give him one of your wraps to try. It has made a world of difference.Even during our venturing throughout the equine affaire Scott was surprised that his elbow was neither hot nor sweaty--a major plus. For days after and even now, Scott has been wearing the wrap on his elbow. He swears there is less swelling, less sweatiness than other wraps, and less pain. His doctor said his arm is healing very nicely, and said that if the wrap is working then to keep going with it.

My mare had been head-bobbing lame since July 11th and I was not having much success with anything. I received the leg wraps and hoof pads on August 11th and applied them the afternoon of August 12th. She was still noticeably lame the day I put them on her. By the next day she was much better and even trotted a few strides without much trouble. Before this she was hesitant to even walk. I attribute my mare's instant soundness to the Eyeon® material embedded in the wraps and the hoof pads. There is no other explanation. All I have to say is that I do believe that the EyeOn® products would be of great benefit to the equine community for overall healing and pain reduction. I knew I had to write this testimonial after using the products because of how well they worked. I think it is breakthrough technology!
The other horse, Brave, I was telling you about with the bad arthritis...his owner just called and said that he is wanting to run! They are so happy he is doing this much better...they are doing the happy dance. They said they also believe it is the EyeOn® wraps that have helped him improve so quickly! The husband said that he is entirely a brand new horse now just after four days! So you might be getting a separate testimonial from them as well! They actually considered putting this horse down.
I took the thin EyeOn® pad under my bed sheet. I slept on it and upon waking the following morning and as I got out of bed I felt no back pain. I didn't feel I was ninety years old. I even put it on my dog Fred one night. He has been suffering with arthritis for years. Everyone commented on how much better Fred was the next day, playing with other dogs like he did years ago!
