Intercostal muscles
There are two groups of muscles, the external and internal intercostal muscles.
Both have the important task of supporting the body in breathing.
The external intercostal muscles help with inspiration, while the internal intercostal muscles help with expiration.
The intercostal muscles are prone to tension and resulting pain.
Reasons may include equine asthma/COPD or a previous infection with cough.
A girth that is pulled too tight can also lead to tense intercostal muscles.
With the EQUISPA Deep Heat Blanket, we can treat the costal arch area selectively and provide deep heat. The muscles can relax.
