Equine Transeva Technique

Perfecting the Equine Athlete

What is ETT?

The Equine Transeva Technique makes use of the Winks Greene (WG) Transeva to re-establish correct muscle movement and function. Originally developed by Winks Greene — daughter of well-known trainer, breeder and owner Denis Labistour — the technique was taken forward by Beth Shaw in 2008.

Why use ETT?

The body is electric. Motor neurons generate electrical impulses to move muscle fibres. The precise application of the WG Transeva by a trained ETT Practitioner allows for the rhythmic electrical impulses produced to improve muscle function and performance.

Originally based on a ‘Strongbox’ device developed by Charles Strong in the UK, the Transeva works along Faradic lines, applying a low electrical impulse to stimulate damaged muscle tissue and improve blood and lymph circulation.

How ETT works

The trained ETT Practitioner is able to assess the state of a muscle under contraction. They then adjust the WG Transeva's dynamic current to bring the equine's muscle back on-line, allowing it to perform optimally and reducing stress on tendons, ligaments and joints.
