Therapeutic Uses of Equine Hydrotherapy

For centuries , the use of sea water has been recognised as an aid to the treatment and prevention of leg problems in horses.

Racing phenomenon Red Rum was, in his early days, plagued by a potentially crippling foot disease, which could have ended his career. Then Ginger McCain took him on and banished him to the sea. He trained all his horses on Southport beach and within weeks Red Rum was fit and ready to run. The rest is history. Now with our Panama Spa we can offer the healing of the sea under a more controlled situation.

The Spa uses chilled, aerated saline water to drastically reduce a horse's recovery time following an injury, operation or ailment. The veterinary profession highly recommends the use of such treatment for tendon injuries, laminitis, flesh wounds and more.

Equine Hydrotherapy aids healing and rapid recovery in:-

  • Tendon and Ligament Injuries
  • Sore Shins and Jarring Up
  • Strains
  • Inflammation of knees, fetlocks and hocks
  • Windgalls
  • Laminitis and Foot related problems
  • Promoting hoof regrowth
  • Flesh Wounds
  • Infections in wounds eg puncture wounds, infected tendon sheaths.
  • Cracked Heels
  • Mud Fever
  • Soft Tissue Damage
  • Bone Damage including fractures and splints
  • Joint Conditions eg OCD, degenerative joint disease, arthritis
  • Swellings and stiffness eg concussion injuries, post-operative swelling, lymphangitis
  • Very effective in injury prevention.
·


Frequency of treatment is based on the severity, age and type of injury. Every day or sometimes twice a day is usually required at the start of the treatment, which is then reduced as the injury recovers. Each horse is treated as an individual and a treatment programme is discussed with the owner and the horse's vet.

The spa provides drug free preventation therapy which is effective, so can be used before racing or affliated competition with no contravening of the rules. The treatment should not be used before a race or competition to mask an injury.
