Was ist Equimpulse?
Equimpulse is a tensegrity-based training and rehabilitation system that combines an orthopaedic elastic body band with special straps and bands to specifically stimulate certain contact and reflex points. Developed based on the principles of equine and human physiotherapy, it safely activates both deep and superficial muscles, improving proprioception, posture, strength, and balance – without stressing the joints.
What is Tensegrity/Biotensegrity?
Tensegrity (often Tensegrität/Biotensegrität in German) describes a structural principle where continuous tension and local compression work together to create stable, efficient form and movement. In horses, this refers to the interplay of musculature, fascia, skeleton, ligaments, and tendons. Equimpulse uses this principle to promote neuromuscular feedback and whole-body coordination.
Most important benefits for horses

- Activates deep core and stabilising muscles to improve neuromuscular control, symmetry, and balance.
- Offers resistance to the superficial muscles during movement, promotes functional strength, and protects the joints.
- Improves body awareness through targeted belt contact – comparable to the effects of massage or physiotherapy.
- Adjustable size via a back strap – suitable for box rest rehabilitation through to conditioning and performance enhancement.
- Designed with animal welfare in mind: no pressure on the mouth or teeth; the flexible system promotes natural posture and movement (raised chest, freer shoulders, more active hindquarters).
Background / Use Case

Equimpulse was developed to help Rosi, a mare suffering from ataxia and on stall rest after surgery, withto conventional neuromuscular techniques yielded only limited benefit. Inspired by
Therapeutic bandages and targeted activation concepts enabled the system to achieve correct posture, better weight distribution, and regained functional use of the body — results that were confirmed in further users.
