What is LZR UltraBright Light Therapy...
The LZR UltraBright has an astounding 12,500 mW of optical power, meaning it is the power of most powerful lasers. It is equipped with sufficiently powerful infrared and red light rays to penetrate to an injury and produce dramatic effects. Studies show that lasers and LEDs produce positive effects on all tissue levels. There are many benefits to the red and infrared light therapy. Scientific studies concluded the positive efficacy of these devices with hundreds of conditions.
What is Moxibustion Therapy.…
Moxibustion is a form of Chinese herbal medicine therapy that entails the burning of compressed mugwort leaves. This is a small, spongy herb that can help alleviate pain, inflammation and promote circulation used in conjunction with other modalities such as magnawave and lzr red light therapy. Horses love the smell, especially when it’s burning which also helps with any breathing issues and is a very calming form of therapy.
Myofacial Release
Equine Myofascial Release (MFR) is a hands-on therapy technique used to relieve pain and improve movement in horses by releasing tension in the myofascial system—the connective tissue (fascia) that surrounds and supports muscles throughout the body.
• Fascia can become restricted due to injury, overuse, or poor posture, leading to pain and limited range of motion.
• MFR involves gentle, sustained pressure and stretching applied by a trained practitioner to release these fascial restrictions.
• It can help with conditions like muscle tightness, lameness, poor performance, behavioral issues, and postural imbalances.
• Unlike massage, which focuses on muscle tissue, MFR targets the fascia, which can affect distant parts of the body due to its interconnected nature.
• It is often part of a holistic approach to equine care, used alongside veterinary treatment, chiropractic care, and proper training.
