Cold Therapy Boots

Treatment is also invaluable as a preventative measure, keeping joints and soft tissue healthy, so your horse can perform for longer and more comfortably.

Benefits of cold therapy include pain relief, muscle spasm reduction, decrease in inflammation and swelling and maintenance of normal blood flow to the limb. Cold therapy helps keep equine joints tight and healthy and helps maintain soundness. Therefore, cold therapy is recommended in traumatic and inflammatory conditions.

The repeated application of ice to treat musculoskeletal injuries in horses is a time-honoured and tested therapy that should be considered first when treating injuries showing pain, swelling and heat. Cold Therapy Boots are ideal for these applications.

It is very common, recommended and beneficial to use the application of ‘cold’ to equine athletes with joint and lower limb problems, after every training and performance activity, for their entire career. The reason for this is that after every athletic session there may be a new inflammation to the injured area that will benefit from cold treatment.

Please note: Ice should never be used directly on the animal, due to possible freezing of the tissues.
