Subzero Therapy For Horses And Its Benefits


Subzero Cryotherapy has anti-inflammatory & pain relief effects. Also, it helps in narrowing the blood vessels & reduces the metabolic demand of the food. 

 The therapy’s essential mechanism is that it decreases enzymatic movement in the lamellar tissue by approximately 50% for every 10°C drop in tissue temperature. Advantages of this include:

  • Reduced pain and muscle spasm (a local anesthetic effect)

  • Decreased edema (fluid swelling) due to improved blood viscosity and enhanced coagulation

  • Lowered metabolic demands of the lamellar tissue and enzymatic activity.

Some subzero cryotherapy techniques are extra labor-intensive or cost-restrictive than others. Fundamental methods include icing and bandaging; using an ice sleeve, or ice boot, or ice pack wrap or even tying a pony in a pool of cold water for a long time. More detailed methods include the Game Ready cooling and compression system–which the presenters rated a better method over standard icing and ice boots. 

The subzero cryotherapy treatment generates an instant result at the cellular level known as thermal shock. This effect excites the receptors located in the skin & conveys a strong message to the brain. The stimulation produces a reflex pathway reply, decreasing inflammation, pain & creating muscle leisure at the affected & nearby area.
