Cycloid Vibration Therapy

Proven to improve local blood flow and lymphatic drainage

Standard CVT

The unique 3D vibration generates a circular movement causing energy to penetrate deeply but gently into the animal's body. Non-aggressive with 50 times lower acceleration rate to classic vibration.

Cyclo Poly Modulation® (CPM)

Cyclo Poly Modulation® (CPM) provides a more profound surging action that is best when extra stimulation is required. By alternating the massage intensity from highest to lowest quickly, the CVT has a more significant effect and promotes muscle stimulation and lymphatic drainage.

Tranquil-ssage® (T/S)

Tranquil-ssage® produces slow-moving rhythmical waves of Cycloid Vibration Therapy, moving the vibration intensity from highest to lowest setting via a unique undulation. Tranquil-ssage® aids in achieving the ultimate relaxation by producing a hypnotic effect on the nervous system.

  • Cycloid Vibration Therapy - helping people and animals since 1949.
  • Clinically proven benefits with long-lasting, repeatable results.
  • Penetrates through 2ft of tissue and 4ft of bone at a cellular level.
  • Non-invasive and drug-free 3-dimensional vibration.
  • Non-labour intensive tool for businesses to use.

Medically Proven Features and Benefits

  • Increased blood flow: which is essential for maintaining a healthy horse. It will help to warm up your horse, circulate fresh, nutrient and oxygen-rich blood to areas you need it most, help treat any problem areas, and speed up the healing process.
  • Improved lymphatic drainage: which helps to flush out the toxins and waste in your horses body, including lactic acid build up in the muscles and swelling in the joints.
  • Relaxation of the muscles: which naturally helps to relieve pain, unlock tension, improve stride length, and assist in breathing and respiratory concerns.
  • Improved joint mobility: which allows your horse to move more freely and improve performance.

“The combination of the above benefits can assist in treating, improving and preventing a wide variety of common Equine problems”

What is CVT?

History of therapeutic benefits on humans and animals

The origin of the therapeutic vibrational action that is that foundation of all Equissage Therapy equipment, began in the coalfields of Canada in the 1920’s. By accident, the coal miners working there discovered that by leaning against a separation machine, they could get immediate relief from their aching backs and joints. The Wettlaufer Brothers were inventors using the separating machine as their starting point, the brothers developed a new form of ‘3-Dimensional Energy’ that is now known as Cycloid Vibration Therapy (CVT).

The potential of this life-changing form of therapy commenced being realised when Owen K Murphy, the founder of Niagara Therapy, stumbled onto it in 1948. Because of his background with the Medical Corps during WWII, Owen realised the incredible range of benefits products based on this ‘new energy’ could produce.

Since 1949 when Niagara Therapy commenced as a Company, ongoing product development and clinical research into CVT has continued to today. In Australia, Equissage Therapy is part of an organisation that commenced in 1969, producing Cycloid Vibration Therapy devices for both human and animal applications.

Niagara Medical Therapy is the human therapy division, Accell Animal Therapy focuses on the small animals and veterinary market, while Equissage Therapy has led the way in improving the performance, health and well-being of countless horses.

All Niagara Medical Devices are entered onto the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) as Class IIa Medical Devices. All Equissage Therapy and Accell Animal Therapy devices are made to the same standards and specifications to deliver the same benefits of Cycloid Vibration Therapy in the bodies of Horses, Dogs, Cats, Koalas, Cattle, Camels, Sheep and the list goes on.

Early research

Owen K Murphy founded the Niagara Medical Research Institute to fund research into the benefits of Cycloid Vibration Therapy (CVT). Dr John Mote was the first co-ordinator of research in CVT.

Dr Mote was a Chief Medical Adviser to the Allied Forces during WWII and is noted for his involvement with the discovery of cortisone and the birth control pill. Through Dr Mote, a great deal of research was conducted during the 1950’s. Dr William Edmondson, an expert in stress and relaxation, conducted research leading to the claims in these areas.

Dr Theodore Bayliss was the first Arthritis specialist to test CVT products and he became a world- renowned advocate of CVT for the treatment of arthritic and rheumatic pain as well as joint mobility.

Dr William Bierman, who was elected ‘Outstanding Physician of the Year in 1955, focused his attention on research into the Circulatory system, which led to claims regarding CVT on improving Blood and Lymphatic circulation.

Medical claims

All Niagara products are entered into the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG 151788/171333) and with Medsafe in New Zealand as a Class IIa Medical Device.

Clinical Studies have shown that with regular use Niagara Cycloid Vibration Therapy products may:

  • Increase local area blood flow.
  • Assist in the reduction of musculoskeletal pain.
  • Increase join mobilization
  • Reduce excess interstitial oedema (swelling) whether the cause is vascular or lymphatic.
  • Assist in the treatment of wounds where an improvement in local circulation is a factor.
  • Assist in the treatment of pressure ulcers where an improvement in local circulation is a factor.
  • Assist in the treatment of cellulitis where an improvement in local circulation is a factor.

*Niagara products should only be used as directed and if symptoms persist, please see your doctor, always read and follow the instructions.
