Epiony Heat Pad Plus

Benefits of the Epiony Heat Pad Plus;
- Heat therapy dilates the blood vessels of the muscles. This process increases the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles helping to heal the damaged tissue. This also increases the elimination of carbon dioxide and metabolic waste.
- Heat stimulates the sensory receptors in the skin. Applying heat to any part of the body will decrease transmissions of pain signals to the brain and partially relieve discomfort. This works on both people and animals!
- Heat therapy will decrease stiffness, improve flexibility and provide an overall feeling of comfort.
- The Heat Pad is excellent at aiding relaxation and reducing stress

Temperature/Use Guide
Temperature will vary due to environmental conditions it is used in,
1. Red LED (47°c-49°c)-use on horses and animals with a thick coat. Peoples knees and other joints to provide pain relief (especially arthritis) – Approx lasts 2 hours
2. Orange LED (44°c-46°c)-use on peoples backs (consider using it over a thin t-shirt if you have sensitive skin to heat but can be used directly on the skin, just turn down if it feels too warm) and clipped out horses if red is too warm for them – Approx lasts 2.45 hours
4. Green LED (41°c-43°c)- use on peoples back and if a person wishes to lay down on the pad – Approx lasts 4 hours
5. Flashing Green LED (37°c-40°c)-same as green above just slightly cooler – Approx lasts 7 hours
This is just a rough guide, if used on yourself drop down a setting if too warm, if used on animals make sure they aren’t too warm by carrying out regular checks, never leave the pad unsupervised.
**If the pad is felt off the body it won’t represent these temperatures as the pad works on heat building up between the pad and the body.**

This product has made a real difference to my horse. He is an older horse who has had kissing spine issues. We have used the heat pad as part of his re-habilitation back to ridden work and it has really helped him with this transition.
