EQUINE CRYOTHERAPY
Equine Cryotherapy, also known as cold therapy. Cold hydrotherapy for horses is an effective and drug-free therapy that can be used for rehabilitation as well as injury prevention. It increases mobility and reduces swelling in the limbs before and after competitive events and training.is a wellness treatment that utilizes cold to provide natural and effective pain relief and recovery.
How it Works
This device releases C02 gas at -108°F (-78°C) at a high pressure 50 bar (756 psi), reducing skin surface temperature of the injured area to 39°F (4°C) within 30 seconds. This induces the Cryo-therapeutic effect whereby blood flow to the injured area is rapidly increased delivering healing proteins, collagen, anti-oxidants and all the body needs to repair the area whilst simultaneously removing the toxins and reducing inflammation.
Cryotherapy is a natural treatment for horses that aids greatly in horse rehabilitation and long-term pain management. After treating a horse’s condition using cryotherapy, research has shown that as well as recovery time increasing, the risk of relapse and reoccurring injury is reduced.
Treating horses regularly with CryoTherapy is highly beneficial even if they aren’t injured. Cryotherapy increases blood circulation contributing to their overall wellbeing and physical activity. Mobility increases allowing them to move more efficiently strengthening muscles and joints and reducing the risk of future injuries and conditions.
