Far Infrared (FIR) technology has been increasingly used in various equine products to promote horse health and well-being.

The Protechmasta range is designed to offer that, expanded across products for riders, horses, and our loyal friends, our dogs. What are the benefits and how do they work?

FIR is a natural process and is scientifically proven to gently and safely assist blood circulation.

This amazing technology has been confirmed by independent studies done on Protechmasta products which showed that using Infrared products during warm-up transports more oxygen to the working muscle, improving performance and in fact metabolism, thereby supporting better nutrient uptake. This heat generating process helps protect against injury, lowers stress levels and ultimately stabilises heart rates.

When the heart pumps more regularly, blood transports all the oxygen and nutrients at an even pace. This improves the overall saturation of blood to the correct area of the body.

During workouts, this gradual heat and heart rate regulation helps relieve any strain the body might be going through. And after workouts in the cooling down process, this gradual decrease in body temp ensures efficient removal of toxins and lactic acid for effective recovery from fatigue. Losing heat too quickly renders these functions less effective.

Stable core temperature

Stable core body temperature has a direct effect on skeletal muscle, tendons, and ligaments as they all have elastic properties. Being too cold or changing temperature too quickly creates weaknesses and so increases the potential for injuries.

Assists circulation

Improved blood flow provides optimum levels of oxygen to the muscles to help prevent fatigue and perform stronger for longer.

Maintain healthy joints

Protechmasta can decrease joint stiffness, pain, and muscle spasms and reduces inflammation and the build-up of fluid in tissues (oedema).

Eases muscle tension

The heat generated from the increased blood flow makes connective tissue more flexible as it’s extensibility will increase, allowing for improved suppleness and prevention of injury.

Aids recovery

Protechmasta products are great to use after exercise to assist your horse’s circulation and aid the cool down process. The range is also beneficial to support recovery or whilst on box rest.

Eases swollen/filled leg

A boost of blood flow around the body brings nutrients and fuel to cells and also takes away toxins, dead cells, and other unwanted debris which will help to reduce inflammation.

Aids relaxation

Reduce sweating and reduce the potential for heat stress, all of which are known to be performance prohibitors.

Warming up as we know is key for both rider and horse. Through this process we increase blood flow throughout the body, creating heat. This creates muscle, tendon and ligament elasticity.

Protechmasta Schooling Boots

A soft naturalistic ceramic infused lining is used against the horse’s skin, this emits a safe form of Far Infrared radiation which is a natural process and is scientifically proven to gently and safely assist blood circulation.

how does it work

Far InfraRed (FIR) emits thermogenic radiation in the form of heat which is perceived by the thermoreceptors in the skin as radiant heat.

“Not only is Far Infra-red (FIR) absorbed by the body, it also emits FIR in the form of black body radiation. FIR also can be described as biogenetic radiation.

Its therapeutic effect is the result of excessive blood flow. The positive heating impact reduces muscle tension and, favourably, pain perception due to increase of endorphin secretion.” (Chambers, S. 2017).

Ceramic Powder Blended Yarn

Protechmasta products contain a special ceramic powder that is blended with the yarns of the lining fabric. Ceramic both emits and reflects Far InfraRed (FIR) rays designed to deliver thermal radiation effects.

Woofmasta Protechmasta Collar & Sleeve

The Protechmasta Infrared Therapy Dog Collar and Sleeve uses Far Infrared radiation which is a natural process and is scientifically proven to gently and safely assist blood circulation. Helping to support healthy joints, soft tissue, maintain healthy blood flow, ease muscle tension, support recovery and aid in helping keep structures and functions sound.
