'Hydrotherapy, or treatment in water, especially sea
water has long been used for the treatment of many health conditions in humans and animals.' |
|
Hydrotherapy treatment has been
extensively researched. Treatments to horses suffering from a range of injuries including: open wounds, tendon and ligament damage, sore shins, jarring problems etc. have shown impressive results. |
|
The water in the unit is between 2 and 4
degrees, contains salt, and is oxygenated. The horse stands in the unit for the treatment whilst enjoying the adding benefits of the overhead solarium. The action and cold temperature of the water stimulates the blood flow, which in turn promotes healing to the damaged areas. |
|
The treatment simply emulates the
long lamented healing benefits of the sea, but in a safe environment, with the added luxury of reliable sunshine! This innovative treatment will hopefully in time, eliminate the archaic and painful practices of firing and blistering, allowing horses to be treated and recover in deservered comfort. |
