Equipment Utilized

I utilize various equipment to achieve ultimate effectiveness in training horses and riders.  These include therapy and recovery equipment to training apparatus.  This equipment is accessible to those horses and riders in training with me, for an additional fee. 

 

 

Game Ready Unit

Active compression and cold therapy has been recognized as a superior method of eliminating swelling. The active and adjustable compression settings provided by the Game Ready™ Equine System mirror the way your horse’s muscles naturally contract and relax to push fluids and cellular debris (edema) into and along the lymphatic drainage system, as well as help drive cold therapy deeper for longer lasting effects. This means the benefits of Game Ready Equine’s cold therapy go far beyond the surface to the internal tissue that is harder to reach.

Cycloidal Vibration Massage Offers Benefits for Equine Athletes
 

Louisville, KY (February 20, 2007) -- The demands of the show season require that horses be in top condition. Cycloidal Vibration Massage Therapy offers owners and trainers a uniquely effective way to keep horses show ring ready by combating muscle soreness, strains and the daily aches and pains that can be associated with a rigorous show schedule.

Cycloidal vibration massage is different than traditional massage because it creates vibrations that penetrate gently and deeply through the body. This helps to stimulate circulation to affected areas and encourages healing for common conditions, such as swelling, muscle soreness or lactic acid build up.

Horses with highly active and stressful work schedules, such as hunters and jumpers, dressage horses, eventers, reiners and race horses, can all realize benefits from the Niagara Equissage system.

 

The Port Lewis Saddle Fitting System

The Impression Pad is made from clear flexible vinyl and contains a moldable putty which we affectionately call Equi-Dough. It's extremely easy to use, place it on your horse's back, do up the saddle and go for a ride... that's it! When you remove the saddle, you will have an exact impression of how that saddle fits that horse, with that rider.

 

 

 

 

 

 

BioScan

BioScan is a unique diagnostic and therapeutic system proven effective in the assessment and treatment of a multitude of acute and chronic equine ailments. BioScan products generate and deliver photodynamic light precisely tuned to specific frequencies that studies have shown to accelerate the healing process. These specific frequencies of light have been shown to

  • Stimulate cellular reproduction
  • Relax muscles and stimulates nerve transmission
  • Stimulate acupuncture points and immune response
  • Provide relief of minor pains and aches
  • Provide an improved range of motion
  • Provide an increase in local blood circulation
  • Stimulate tissue granulation and connective tissue projections, which are part of the healing process of wounds, ulcers or inflamed tissue.
  • Stimulate fibroblastic activity which aids in the repair process.
  • Increase RNA and DNA synthesis. This helps damaged cells to be replaced more promptly.
  • Increase vascularity (circulation) by increasing the formation of new capillaries.
  • Stimulate the release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

SpectraVet Therapeutic Laser

What is Low Level Laser Therapy?

Low Level Laser Therapy, commonly known as LLLT (also cold laser, soft laser, LILT) is a form of phototherapy which involves the application of monochromatic and coherent light to injuries and lesions to stimulate healing.

LLLT is used to increase the speed, quality and tensile strength of tissue repair, resolve inflammation, and give pain relief.

It is an attractive form of treatment for animal athletes, due to the prospect of shorter recovery and lay-off times.
