Is Cold Therapy for Horses’ Legs the Best Choice?
Icing down your horse’s legs after rigorous exercise or competition is a common strategy. But are there other therapeutic methods for achieving faster muscle recovery, better circulation and speedier healing?
Shop therapy solutions for every body area at Schneiders:
Cold Therapy: For horses’ legs, cold wraps, leg soakers, whirlpool boots and ice packs reduce inflammation and pain from injury or overuse.
Pressure-Ice Therapy: Compression therapy encourages healthy blood flow. Combining targeted compression with cold therapy delivers anti-inflammatory power deep in the soft tissue of shoulders, withers, flanks and hips.
Magnetic Therapy: Whether it’s the tendons and ligaments of your horse’s legs or aches in their neck and back, magnetic therapy encourages better circulation to reduce swelling and soreness.
Ceramic Therapy: Ceramic fibers reflect heat back to the body as far infrared rays (FIRs). Saddle pads with ceramic fibers keep large muscle groups loose during competition while adjustable ceramic therapy wraps soothe knees, hocks, pasterns and hooves.
Copper Therapy: Copper threads in wraps, sheets and hoods help relieve muscle soreness and stiffness anywhere on the body while stimulating better circulation.
Microcurrent Therapy: This noninvasive therapy stimulates ATP production to jump-start the natural healing process in injured or overused muscles.
Equine Light Therapy: Specific wavelengths of light stimulate the healing process in soft tissue injuries.
Centurion Therapy: Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEFT) restores the natural electrical impulses in cells, stimulating regeneration for bone fractures and muscle injuries or overuse.
