Equine Cryotherapy is a treatment using extreme cold to freeze and remove abnormal tissue. It's beneficial for reducing inflammation, swelling, and pain in our human and animal athletes, promoting faster recovery after injuries or intense workouts. This non-invasive therapy can enhance overall performance and wellbeing.

Muscle scraping, or Gua Sha, is a therapy that involves scraping the skin with a massage tool to improve circulation. This technique helps with muscle stiffness, enhances mobility, and can speed up recovery by breaking down scar tissue. It's particularly beneficial for our human and animal athletes with muscle tightness or those recovering from an injury.

Cryotherapy is safe for most humans and animals when performed by a trained specialist. However, it's essential to consult with your veterinarian first, especially if your animal has conditions that can be exacerbated by cold treatment, such as certain circulatory disorders. We always prioritize your animal's safety and tailor our treatments accordingly.

A typical cryotherapy session lasts between 5 to 10 minutes per treated area with most sessions lasting about 1 hours overall. The short duration ensures effectiveness while maintaining comfort and safety for your animal.

The number of sessions varies depending on the animal's individual condition and response to treatment. Generally, owners report noticeable improvements after 1 to 3 sessions. For chronic conditions or optimal performance enhancement, a regular schedule may be recommended.

Absolutely! We encourage owners to be present to comfort their animals during treatment (although most animals seem to LOVE their treatments). Your presence can help keep the animal athlete calm and allow you to observe the process.

Ensure you animal is clean and dry with no topical products on the areas to be treated. It's also helpful if the animal is relaxed and not immediately after feeding. We'll guide you through the specific preparation steps once you schedule a session.

Improvements can include reduced swelling or inflammation, increased range of motion, decreased pain or discomfort, and generally more relaxed and happier demeanor. Performance improvements might be noticed in better gait, stamina, or recovery times.
