How to Get the Most Out of Your Acuscope & Myopulse Session for Your Horse

If you’re investing in an Acuscope and Myopulse session for your horse, you’re likely looking for effective, long-lasting results—whether for pain management, accelerated healing, preventative/routine maintenance, or overall performance enhancement. To maximize the benefits of this powerful microcurrent therapy, it’s essential to follow a few key guidelines before and after the session. Here’s what you need to know:

⸻

1. Your Horse Must Be Completely Dry

Acuscope and Myopulse therapy uses gentle microcurrents to communicate with the body’s nervous system and tissues. If your horse is wet—whether from sweat, a bath, or rain—the water can conduct and disperse the current, significantly reducing the effectiveness of the treatment.

✔️ Make sure your horse is completely dry before and remains dry after the session.

⸻

2. No Topicals Before the Session

Avoid applying fly sprays, coat conditioners, liniments, ointments, detanglers, or any topical product before the session.

✔️ Keep the coat clean and product-free prior to treatment.

⸻

3. Plan for Rest Before and After the Session

Your horse should be at rest (not working) for at least one hour before the session—with access to clean drinking water to help support detox and cellular repair.

After the session, give your horse at least four hours of rest—preferably more. If you’re not riding in a competition, consider giving your horse the rest of the day off. Their body needs time to process and respond to the microcurrent therapy for best results.

✔️ Before: 1 hour rest

✔️ After: 4+ hours rest (or full day off)

💧 Always provide access to fresh water!

4. Communicate Any Medications or Injections

Let your Acuscope/Myopulse practitioner know if your horse is on any medications, supplements, or has received any recent injections (joint, vaccinations, sedation, etc.). These can affect how the body responds to microcurrent therapy and may influence treatment areas or settings.

⸻

5. Update the Practitioner on Any Changes

Even subtle shifts in your horse’s routine or environment can impact their body. Be sure to mention:

• Changes in behavior or attitude

• New or adjusted feed, supplements, or medications

• Modifications in tack or saddle fit

• Changes in trimming or shoeing

• Recent travel, turnout changes, or stress

• Any new or worsening lameness, soreness, or injuries

This context helps the practitioner better target problem areas and adjust treatment for your horse’s current state.

⸻

6. Avoid Other Therapies for 72 Hours

To prevent interference and ensure the Acuscope and Myopulse can work to their full potential, avoid other modalities for at least 72 hours before and after the session.

This includes:

• PEMF (Magnawave, BEMER, Pulse, etc.)

• Red light or laser therapy

• Ultrasound

• Back on Track products

• Any electrically based therapeutic device

• And similar tools

Stacking modalities too close together can overload your horse’s system or dilute the response, so give each type of therapy time to work independently.

Final Thoughts

Consistency and clear communication are key when it comes to Acuscope and Myopulse therapy. By following these guidelines and keeping your therapist informed, you’ll help ensure that your horse receives the maximum benefit from every session—leading to better recovery, reduced discomfort, and enhanced performance.
