• Please ensure that your horse is clean and dry with no additional extras (fly spray or body spray!) 
• Ideally fed at least an hour before the session (haynet before is fine)
• Session needs to be carried out in a quiet environment so as not to distract the horse  

Typically a session involves a static & dynamic assessment reviewing mobility, stiffness, restrictions, pain, alignment, tightness and muscular function (depending on your initial problem, possibly required to be lunged or ridden)  

Depending on initial findings further sessions maybe required and these will be discussed at the first appointment

How does it work for the Horse? 

When being ridden, the saddle and rider put pressure on the vital chain of muscles and tissues that extend from the neck to the tail. 

Over time, these areas can become fibrous and tender. The Fascial tool is effective in breaking down fibrous muscle tissue, enhancing circulation, aiding muscle tone and increasing blood flow.

Fascia needs all the below to keep healthy: 

Hydration * Nutrition *  Sleep *  Movement * Fitness

Healthy Fascia = Healthy horse 

Light therapy can help relax muscle tension and spasms, inflammation and chronic conditions such as arthritis and overuse injuries.

Plus, it gives pain relief through the red light by releasing endorphins (the body's natural pain killing chemicals ) and serotonin (the key chemical for stabilising mood and enhancing feelings of well being)

Blue light lessens the risk of infection by reducing the growth of bacteria. Useful for post operative wounds and supporting recovery from bacterial infections.

Some of the benefits of red light & IR therapy
Increases circulation & blood flow.
Improve energy, metabolism and cellular functioning
Reduces inflammation and increases lymphatic activity.
Decrease pain and discomfort
Regulation of collagen production which helps to reduce scarring.
Support the body in maintaining health and wellness

An assessment will be carried out and Light therapy applied. If you have a known issue with your horse a more specific session can be arranged - please let H.E.T know and this can be addressed.
