"Sometimes, the most simple ideas are the most brilliant. We are all aware of the effect of ice on inflammation and saltwater on wounds. The problem is that our industry has been trapped in tradition. Trapped by using 20th century techniques in a world full of 21st century progress. The Equine spa has very effectively married the concepts of tried and true antiinflammatory treatments with state of the art technology.
I was introduced to the Equine spa when one of my patients,"Better Talk Now" had an open wound that became infected just prior to a race in Saratoga, NY. We elected to use the Equine spa's healing properties of cold salt hydrotherapy to aid in the healing process and eliminate any further complications. 3, 10 minute daily treatments were all we used in this case. The wound is no longer a problem.
Certainly, financial considerations will always be a factor in our profession, but here is a product that would be expensive NOT to have. The uses go far beyond the example I cited. The ability of the Equine spa to lower the temperature of the entire equine limb so completely and rapidly, could eliminate the use of more traditional methods that employ more time and effort.
Once again, the Equine spa's balance of simplicity and results are unmatched in our industry."
