Cold Salt Hydrotherapy is used to treat and prevent a multitude of injuries in 35 F/2 F saltwater. The spa has successfully addressed virtually all lower leg injuries.
Treatment temperature alone induces a massive rush of blood and circulation which otherwise would not be present. This drug free therapy can be used for injury, prevention and also to increase mobility and reduce swelling in the limbs before and after competitive events and training.
We recommend that you familiarize your horse with the unit by walking him up and into it, closing the doors and letting him stand. When he is standing quietly, open the exit door and walk him out. We will repeat this exercise until the horse is comfortable to begin treatment.
Common injuries that can be treated with Hydro-spa include:
Laminitis, Arthritis, Tendon injuries, Laminitis, sore shins, Poor hoof growth, brittle hooves, Wounds, General soreness & stiffness, Ligament injuries & joint conditions.
Our Hydro-spa is equipped with easy to access safety options. If a horse for any reason panics, our first option is always to try and calm the horse down. If we need to get the horse out of the Hydro-spa machine, it is simply to open the door and let the horse and water out.
