Equine Bone And Joint Support And Physical Therapy Exercises

By Stephen Baker


As human beings become of great age, they develop limitations on functionality and impairments in mobility, animals too are no different either, the scathing sword of aging spares none among the two species and just like humans require the benefit of physical therapy and Equine Bone and Joint Support, even so, animal requires a like service named equine physical therapy.

These all have resulted in increased benefits to pet parents and their pets. Obviously, since the fields operational procedures differ, thus do the benefits. Here this article focuses on the benefits brought about the practice of pet physical rehabilitation and therapy. And all though not all are or might be listed, carefulness has been practice in including the most essential of benefits.

There s a gradual rising demand for this services among horse owners, the reason being there s a fire of awareness that has been set alight and keeps burning in their hearts, letting them know the physical benefits of therapy on their aging or ailing pets. And also since mostly veterinarian is around the neighborhood there s also an expectation that they ll be able to offer this service.

Increase mobility and flexibility: most pets after injury, mostly spinal injury, after the subsequent surgery, need ongoing exercises to help increase mobility and flexibility. And if this is not given due attention may result in worsened conditions. There s a need of exercises that strengthen the horse s core after an injury, and also help it carry out weight bearing activities.

Just like in human therapy, the goal of the procedure is helping the patient, which can be an equine or human, attain again mobility, functional ability optimizing the motion of all body parts which in the ultimate run improve the quality of life for the horse itself. You may have a horse that has been involved in an accident and underwent surgery; the rehabilitation s role, in this case, becomes invaluable.

Light Massage: this helps in reducing muscle spasms, increase blood circulation and enhance muscle tone. You conduct it by laying down your horse on its back and gently rub and massage each major group of muscles. Begin with the shoulders and front limbs, progress going toward the hind end all till the rear limbs.

The animal s agility gets reduced after this since there s loss of muscle control, stability in joints is decreased and the tendons get increasingly stiffened. One of the purposes of the therapy is to mitigate this. In techniques like hydrotherapy, which involves training done in a pool of water, horses exercise their natural functional activities like walking and running on an underwater treadmill.

Prevention of disease, injury and neurological sickness; a healthy practice always results in a healthy life; this is true of both mammals and humans. Pets that usually go for walks, exercise, and experience mental stimulation tend to live healthier and have a longer lifespan more than those that do none of the exercises.
