WHAT IT DOES
Our equine hydrotherapy spa can help to improve circulation, relieve pain and inflammation, and promote tissue healing. It can also be used as a preventative measure to help avoid injuries and support recovery post-competition.
Our equine hydrotherapy spa is a safe and effective treatment for all horses, including pregnant mares and young foals and can provide relief from pain and swelling with just a few treatments.

​
HOW IT WORKS
-
The saltwater is chilled between 2 degrees and 4 degrees.
-
The cold temperature of the water helps to numb pain, while the salt helps to draw out excess fluid from the tissues.
-
This combination of effects can help to quickly reduce pain and improve mobility.
-
Inhibits enzyme degeneration of tendons post injury
-
Acts as a hypertonic poultice, reducing heat while having a natural healing effect on wounds.
-
Water density increases with salt concentration, which in turn increases pressure to aid fluid and waste dispersal.
-
Water aeration has a massaging effect on the leg and increases the dissolved oxygen content of the spa solution
