Is Laser Therapy for Horses, Microcurrent, or Horse Massage Therapy Right for Your Horse?
Deciding which therapy will best aid your horse in recovery and healing can seem daunting. Schneiders offers a variety of portable therapy options to meet your needs from laser therapy for horses and cold laser light therapy, horse massage tools, and microcurrent therapy.
Cold Laser Therapy: For horses, low‐level laser therapy (LLLT) is a safe, drug‐free treatment proven to stimulate blood flow and speed the healing process. With options in both leg wraps, for treating the lower limbs, and a neck wrap, a powerful tool for relieving stiff, sore necks, as well as a great warm‐up tool for a supple and soft neck before work. Some horse owners have even used it for shaping the neck.
Ionic Therapy: Rambo Ionic Stable Sheet helps deliver extra oxygen to cells and remove toxins, while increasing blood circulation. This is useful before competition, training, and intense work.
Light Therapy: Equine Light Therapy harnesses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate the natural healing powers within cells. Red light therapy for horses is especially effective for soft tissue injuries. With various pad size options, you can treat larger areas on the horses body such as their back, or use the smaller sizes for areas on their legs. Great as a warm‐up prior to riding, and after to relieve soreness and pain. Handheld devices, such as the Photizo Vetcare Handheld Light Therapy Unit, are a great way to harness both red and infrared light in any area of the body. Many of the light therapy options can also be used on pets, perfect for the hard‐working barn dog!
Massage Therapy: Manual massage has been an effective treatment for sore or overused muscles for centuries. The Equilibrium Therapy Massage Mitt brings powerful pulsing, vibrating and stroking actions to a portable, easy to use unit. Lightweight and portable, this is great before riding, at horse shows, or after heavy work when your horse is feeling a bit stiff and sore.
