Cold Water hydrotherapy treatment can be used for majority of lower leg injuries. Specifically these include:
• Tendonitis
• Desmitis
• Arthritis |
• Shin Splints
• Sore Shins
• Concussion (Jar Up) |
• Bursitis
• Synovitis
• Hoof Injuries |
• Open Wounds
• Infections
• Skin Conditions |
Normally the healing of these injuries may be prolonged with new tissue type being weak and prone to re-injury. Spa treatments assist injuries in two ways: firstly by keeping the leg temperature lower, it minimises the effect of fibre deteriorating collegenase; and secondly by reducing the swelling, it allows collagen fibres to repair neatly. This reduced convalescence time is beneficial for the horse and all connections. However the perfect situation to utilise cold water hydrotherapy is within.
Injury Prevention
Prevention is always better than cure. By regular use of cold therapy immediately after hard exercise, many of the stressors within tissues are removed before inflammation develops. Cold also significantly improves surface bone density reducing the opportunity for bone stress related injuries to commerce.
