Why and What

 Cryotherapy is a localized therapy designed to deliver targeted cold therapy for horses and humans, helping reduce inflammation, manage pain, and promote faster recovery, making it ideal for preventative care and rehabilitation.

4 Principle Effects

Equine Cryotherapy is astonishingly effective within a short timeframe and allows you to

bring the following benefits to all areas of the horse’s body.

 

Analgesia

Treatment brings an immediate reduction in pain caused by joint, ligament and tendon issues,

allowing horses to recover from acute and chronic lameness faster.

Anti-Inflammatory

Swelling decreases rapidly, while associated increases in blood flow enables faster healing

of damaged soft tissue, especially with laminitic horses.

Muscular

Rapid resolution of post-exercise tension and pain from microtears reduces the risk of further tissue damage.

Cardiovascular

Blood vessels dilate leading to improve circulation, minimizing the possibility of further

damage caused by poor blood flow to injury sites.
