Subzero Cryotherapy

Vets, trainers and physiotherapists report faster recovery from equine injuries and treatment of acute laminitis through targeted cold therapy.

This versatile device uses low cost pressurized CO2 to cool regions such as the back and neck, and specific areas such as the hoof, hock, stifle, pastern and fetlock.

Initial results are usually visible within just 60 seconds.

Offering real-time control via infrared temperature and distance sensors, with pre-programmed treatment protocols, Subzero is a valuable address for pain relief and inflammation.

What’s more, it’s approx 1/3 cost of its closest competitors.

Equine PEMF & Laser

This groundbreaking equine PEMF unit combines Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field therapy with Laser (3 wavelengths).

Published scientific studies report physical, physiological and neurological benefits following PEMF treatments, making it the optimal approach for veterinarians, trainers and therapists addressing soft tissue injury, osteoarthritis, and post-work recovery in elite equine athletes.

Equine Shockwave

This therapeutic device uses sound waves to treat acute and chronic pain.

It is used extensively to address spinal issues such as ‘kissing spines’,  fractures, and tendon and ligament injuries, and is now recognized as a premier treatment for suspensory injuries and kissing spines.

Delivering an acoustic wave with 100x higher energy than ultrasound imaging, this radial Shockwave device offers 5 probe options, a ‘bundled wave’ penetration of up to 8 cm, and a handpiece supporting over 3 million shockwave ‘shots’.
