Cuts and scarring: Decreases pain and decreases healing time and scarring, Used routinely in burn units throughout Asia for humans.
Calming: Great improvement, again excellent when coupled with colour light therapy (With use of yellow you can restore your horse’s self confidence).
Ease of breathing where congestion may be a problem: Improves breathing and gives relief from congestion and mucus build up, may help with hay cough.
Encourages the bodies own healing process: The best healing process is the bodies own healing process, if it’s possible, a reduction of medical drugs is always a benefit. Most drugs are mixed with a toxin see immune system.
Heart Problems: Low heat 30-45 degreesC/86-113 degrees F, regular use has shown to reverse ailments and improve blood flow.
Immune system: Cells with viruses are weaker than normal cells and tolerate heat poorly. Though hypothermic therapy the immune system can be greatly improved to fight viruses and help remove the bodies own toxin build up which will in turn reduce the stress on the immune system.
Joint: Increasing blood flow, in-turn increases oxygen which greatly improves and eases joint movement. It decreases joint stiffness directly.
There was a 20% decrease in stiffness at 45 ºC as compared with 33 ºC in rheumatoid finger joints, which correlated perfectly to both subjective and objective observation of stiffness
Any stiffened joint and thickened connective tissues should respond in a similar fashion.
Lameness: When so many things can cause your horse to become lame, it is better to prevent injury by improving your horse’s well-being, better oxygen and nutrients will improve muscles and speed up recovery times.
Muscle: It increases the extensibility of collagen tissues.
Tissues heated to 45 ºC and then stretched exhibit a non-elastic residual elongation of about 0.5 Ü 0.9% that persists after the stretch is removed which does not occur in these same tissues when stretched at normal tissue temperatures. Thus 20 stretching sessions can produce a 10 Ü 18% increase in length in tissues heated and stretched
This effect would be especially valuable in working with ligaments, joint capsules, tendons, fasciae, and synovium that have become scarred, thickened or contracted
Such stretching at 45 ºC caused much less weakening in stretched tissues for a given elongation than a similar elongation produces at normal tissue temperatures
The experiments cited clearly showed that low-force stretching can produce significant residual elongation when heat is applied together with stretching or range-of-motion exercises, which is also safer than stretching tissues at normal tissue temperatures
This safer stretching effect is crucial in properly training competitive athletes so as to minimize their "down" time from injuries.
It relieves muscle spasms.
Muscle spasms have long been observed to be reduced through the use of heat, be they secondary to underlying skeletal, joint, or neuropathological conditions.
This result is possibly produced by the combined effect of heat on both primary and secondary afferents from spindle cells and from its effects on Golgi tendon organs. The effects produced by each of these mechanisms demonstrated their peak effect within the therapeutic temperature range obtainable with radiant heat.
Rheumatism: Fibromialgy (Rheumatism of soft body parts). There have been many case studies done on this subject with excellent and very encouraging results. There was a 20% decrease in stiffness at 45 ºC as compared with 33 ºC in rheumatoid finger joints, which correlated perfectly to both subjective and objective observation of stiffness.
Tendonitis: Sometimes the tendons become inflamed for a variety of reasons and the action of pulling the muscle becomes irritating. If the normal smooth gliding motion of your tendon is impaired, the tendon will become inflamed and movement will become painful. This is called tendonitis, and literally means inflammation of the tendon.
Our detox cabins/saunas and horse therapy units operate with the same efficacy in a medical facility as in your home and or equestrian centre. As with any professional piece of equipment, you may put yourself at risk if you do not fully understand how to use it.
