What is Equimpulse?
Equimpulse is a training and rehabilitation system based on tensegrity that combines an orthopedic, elastic body band with special straps and bands to specifically stimulate certain contact and reflex points. Developed according to the principles of equine and human physical therapy, it safely activates both deep and superficial muscles and improves proprioception, posture, strength, and balance—without straining the joints.
What is Tensegrity/Biotensegrity?
Tensegrity (often Tensegrität/Biotensegrität in German) refers to a structural principle in which continuous tension and local compression work together to create stable, efficient form and movement. In the horse, this refers to the interplay of muscles, fascia, skeleton, ligaments, and tendons. Equimpulse utilizes this principle to promote neuromuscular feedback and whole-body coordination.
Key benefits for horses

- Activates deep core and stabilizing muscles to improve neuromuscular control, symmetry, and balance.
- Offers resistance to the superficial muscles during movement, promotes functional strength and is easy on the joints.
- Improves body awareness through targeted strap contact – comparable to the effects of massage or physiotherapy.
- Adjustable size via a back loop – suitable from box rest rehabilitation to conditioning and performance enhancement.
- Animal-friendly: no pressure via the mouth or bit; the elastic system promotes natural posture and movement (raised ribcage, freer shoulders, more active hindquarters).
History / Use case

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