Hydrotheraphy
Boosting Strength, Flexibility, and Well-Being
At Lostford Equine Rehabilitation, we are committed to providing the best care for your horse, and one of the key treatments we offer is hydrotherapy. Hydrotherapy is a powerful tool in equine rehabilitation and conditioning, leveraging the natural properties of water to promote healing, enhance performance, and support overall well-being.
The Benefits
Hydrotherapy provides a unique environment where your horse can exercise without the stress and strain on joints and muscles typically associated with ground workouts. The buoyancy of water supports the horse's body, allowing for gentle, pain-free movement that is ideal for recovery from injury or surgery.
The therapeutic effects of hydrotherapy significantly improve blood flow, ensuring that oxygen and essential nutrients are delivered to injured or stressed tissues more effectively. This enhanced circulation speeds up the healing process, reduces inflammation, and promotes faster recovery.
Water resistance offers a natural form of resistance training, helping to build muscle strength and improve flexibility. Hydrotherapy sessions at Lostford are designed to enhance muscle tone and range of motion, contributing to better overall fitness and performance.
Regular hydrotherapy sessions help maintain and improve your horse’s range of motion. The supportive environment of the water allows for safe and effective stretching and movement, essential for maintaining joint health and flexibility.
At Lostford, we tailor each hydrotherapy session to meet the specific needs of your horse. Whether your horse is recovering from an injury, undergoing conditioning, or simply needs a therapeutic break, our customized approach ensures optimal results.
