HLS Equine Therapy

Lola feeling rather smug that she can work inside today! 😂☔️

* Your horses first treadmill session* Lots of pats for Buddy! 🥰 It just shows how intelligent and trusting these animals are! This is Buddy’s first ever session on the treadmill. You can see he takes a few minutes to find his feet and by the end of his 13 minute session (this will increase as he gets fitter) he is walking straighter and we have added the water When putting your horse on for the first time everything is taken very slow to make sure they are comfortable and calm before we shut them in and start the treadmill! As an owner seeing them finding their feet can probably be worrying however this is completely normal and I am trained to help them get the hang of it as quickly as possible! They are bigger and far stronger than us so we have to work with them and give them lots of praise and pats to make sure they enjoy their session and look forward to them 🥰

Introducing our Shockwave Machine! *( Veterinary Recommendation must be given for treatment to be carried out)* Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to promote healing and reduce pain in various musculoskeletal conditions in horses and other animals. These shockwaves are high-energy sound waves that can penetrate deep into tissues. Targeting affected areas such as tendons, ligaments, joints, or other soft tissues. Shockwave therapy stimulates blood flow and promotes the release of growth factors, which can accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation. It can also help break down scar tissue and calcifications, enhancing the body's natural healing process. By promoting healing and reducing inflammation, shockwave therapy can help alleviate pain associated with various musculoskeletal conditions in horses. Shockwave therapy is commonly used in horses to treat conditions such as tendon and ligament injuries, osteoarthritis, back pain, and certain bone-related issues.

Lucy demonstating how much better her Range Of Motion (ROM) is when walking on the treadmill Lucy is an 18 years old Connie X Traditional X Arab. Due to her natural heavier build (breed specific to the traditional in her) the battle with her weight and arthritic changes in her hocks are something that needs to and has always been well managed. This doesn’t stop her from everyday exercise however, keeping her comfortable is her owners priority. By using the treadmill regularly her owner can keep her weight down while reducing excess strain on her joints, ligaments and her body as a whole!
