Incrediwear is Incredible

I first learned about Incrediwear when my husband hurt his knee and his orthopedic doctor (who takes care of the University of Oklahoma football players) recommended he wear an Incrediwear knee brace to help it heal. After doing some research I learned that they also make horse products and after seeing how well the knee brace helped Garrett, I was anxious to try it on my horses. Their slogan is “Tested on Humans, Approved by Horses.”

What makes Incrediwear special is that it’s fabric is embedded with the semiconductor elements Germanium and Carbonized Carbon. When they are activated by body heat, they release negative ions. The negative ions activate molecular vibrations that increase not only blood circulation, but lymphatic flow as well. Increasing blood flow and lymphatic drainage helps bring more oxygen and nutrients to the target area and clear out all of the by-products. This then helps optimize the body’s natural healing process and accelerate recovery.

I also love that in addition to providing all of the above healing and good things they can also be used for icing without using ice (and the negatives that come with ice such as vasoconstriction and tissue damage, having a steady supply of ice or a way to keep ice boots cold). When water is added and the product gets wet - negative ions are activated more intensely. As a result of this, heat is being "kicked" out of the deep tissue providing an "icing" effect. Heat is then accumulated on the surface of the fabric while the deep tissue keeps cooling down. Cold therapy effectiveness will remain for up to 1 hour. Temperature studies have shown that a horse’s leg measured 102 degrees after work but the temperature went down to 79.3 degrees immediately after wetting the Incrediwear wraps.

We all know that the key to avoiding injuries and keeping our horses tendons and ligaments in good shape is to immediately cool their legs after rides and workouts and due to some circumstances it can be difficult to ice their legs or cold hose for a long period of time and these wraps are the perfect handy solution. They work to support the legs during work, reduce swelling and inflammation, aid in increased blood flow, faster recovery and increased performance and after work to cool the legs in an easy and efficient manner.

Incrediwear makes Circulation Exercise Bandages (what I use and love), Circulation Hoof Socks (to help with lower leg and hoof issues), Circulation Standing Wraps (for overnight or trailering support), Circulation Hock Boots and a Circulation Neck Sleeve.
