Reduce Inflammation in Horses


The Impact of Inflammation on Equine Athletes
- Prolong recovery periods between training sessions
- Limit mobility and athletic performance
- Lead to compensatory movement patterns that cause secondary issues
- Contribute to chronic conditions like tendinitis or arthritis
- Reduce career longevity and quality of life
How Cryotherapy Works for Horses
1. Vasoconstriction:
Cold reduces blood flow to inflamed areas, limiting the inflammatory mediators that can access the tissue
2. Pain Reduction:
Cooling slows nerve conduction velocity, reducing pain sensation
3. Metabolic Slowdown:
Lower temperatures reduce cellular metabolism in damaged tissues, minimizing secondary hypoxic injury
4. Anti-Edema Effects:
Cold therapy helps prevent fluid accumulation in tissues
