Choosing your Hotspot’s Settings

• LOW – for a relaxing massage after exercise, on rest days, or when introducing it for the first time.
• MEDIUM – for general maintenance and everyday use as a warm-up aid.
• HIGH – for horses who prefer a more intense massage, or those with thicker coats or overweight.
• Use cyclical massage if you are holding the Hotspot still to target a specific area.
• Use continuous massage if you are moving the Hotspot over larger areas. This ensures each sweep delivers the same massage.
• Use the heat on its own for a gentle session to increase circulation. Ideal for sensitive horses and perfect prior to stretching.

For the ultimate session, use heat and massage together! This works best when holding the Hotspot in one area or sweeping it over a smaller area.

Benefits of Massage
Massage and heat are two simple ways to support healthy muscle function in hardworking horses.

Massage
Performance depends on freedom of movement, full flexibility, and absence of musculoskeletal pain, all of which can be improved with massage (Gellman, 1998). These factors also contribute to keeping your horse comfortable and happy overall.

Massage benefits include:

• Maintains healthy blood and lymph circulation
• Soothes tired muscles
• Supports recovery after exercise
• Promotes relaxation

Benefits of Heat
Heat is a great way to help sensitive horses who may find massage too intense. Heat is non-invasive, gentle, and well accepted, with many associated benefits.

Research suggests that tissue temperature should increase by at least 3–5°C above resting temperature (Bockstahler et al., 2004). Using something too hot, however, can cause discomfort and even tissue damage.
