The JENT General Purpose Massager was designed by professionals for professionals. It is a powerful machine designed for ease of use and is capable of a wide variety of tasks ranging from relaxation massage through to specific deep work. Rapid and rhythmic penetration relaxes the superficial muscles and releases chronic tension in the deeper muscles. The vibrationary effect contracts and dilates tissue improving blood and lymph circulation and can be targeted on trigger points. It strengthens muscles and induces muscle tone by stimulating the nervous system without agitation. With this massager, any horse owner can regularly massage their own horse for maximum muscle performance.
Practicalities
All trades and professions use specialised tools to perform their work faster and more effectively. JENT is no different. After 20 years of working on horses professionally, and because of her success in getting results, the demand for her services became extreme, and so did the demands on her whole upper body.
Dianne’s shoulders, chest, arms, wrists, hands and fingers began to show signs of wear and tear and develop trigger points in response to holding fatiguing postures and ischemic compressions for long periods of time especially when she was only using acupressure, trigger point releases and massage.
The discovery of the Dr Graeme massager was a life saver. We then modified it to be more suitable for Equine use (including an instructional video) to produce a better, much cheaper alternative to anything else available.
Now as an integral part of JENT Massage this ‘tool’ offers a simple easy to use therapeutic intervention that anyone can use.
Features
- It is light and ergonomically designed making it very easy to hold and use
- To run the strong motor it is mains powered – a battery charged unit would make it too heavy
- It is bright apple green with a long white electric lead
- It sends a powerful percussive and oscillating vibration deep into the neuromyofascial tissues that CANNOT be replicated by hand massage
- It has a variable power glide switch producing low to extreme high vibration
Benefits
- Stimulates circulation – especially venous return and lymphatic drainage
- Is unparalleled at preparing the myofascia for deep tissue remedial work
- It mechanically breaks up fibrotic adhesions
- It rehydrates the fascia, making it more soluble, pliable and more inclined to accept corrective manipulation
- It prepares the contracted muscle fibres for manual ischemic pressure to bring about ‘contracture’ release and relieve localised and projected pain
- The percussive / oscillating action stimulates a physiologic effect, flooding the tissues with endorphins, cortisol and adrenaline giving an analgesic, anti-inflammatory and energised result
- It can be used to relive ‘trigger points’ muscle contractures and myofascial adhesions caused by muscular overload
- Research by Schleip PhD supports the use of high-velocity percussive-oscillating vibrations on inflamed musculo-tendinous junctions
- It works equally well on riders; and your dogs and cats (if you know how to approach them)
