This Accuswede back harness helps riders maintain their shape, keep their muscles warm and supple, and prevent (muscle) pain. The products use acupressure in the same way as horse blankets. Acupressure improves blood circulation and promotes faster recovery.
Acupressure works similarly to acupuncture, but instead of needles, pressure is generated by acupressure rosettes. The pressure stimulates the acupuncture points and meridians, thus increasing blood flow, which relaxes the muscles and releases endorphins (happiness hormones). This results in pain relief and mental relaxation.
The acupressure pad is also removable. Without this pad, the band provides extra support.
