Regenerative Laser Therapy
Regenerative laser therapy is used for horses recovering from injury, surgery, or musculoskeletal strain. The goal is to support tissue recovery, comfort, and a controlled return to work.
Other equine lasers do not create the photo-acoustic sound waves which are required to stimulate tissue regeneration. Pressure gradients are created by the light which stimulates capillary blood flow into tissues enhancing perfusion. The gradients also increase permeability of tissue cells allowing greater exchange of nutrients (i.e. growth factors) into damaged cells. Increased oxygenation and cellular energy in the form of ATP are delivered to the site of injury.

Functional Electrical Stimulation
Functional electrical stimulation is used to recruit deeper muscle groups, address asymmetry, and support horses that need more directed rehabilitation after injury, surgery, or prolonged compensation patterns.
- Stimulate muscles, tendons and ligaments so that normal movement is returned to injured tissue
- Promote edema reduction and tissue healing through increased circulation of blood and lymph due to the movement of muscles
- Stimulate muscle movement and sensory nerves for the treatment of pain
