Equine Bone And Joint Support And Physical Therapy Exercises

By Stephen Baker


It s noted Increasingly, Pet parents have come to know that the necessity of having a veterinarian for your pet is an unquestionable proposition. The field of veterinary care is becoming even more specialized by the day; today in addition to general service and Equine Bone and Joint Support, horses now have professionals as surgeons, dermatologists, oncologist, and practitioners in physical therapy. These are only a few to mention.

During the rise of equine sports, among the domesticated quadrupeds horses were the first to receive a variation of this service; this is due to that they were the only mammal highly exposed to injuries in the public eye during recreational activities as racehorses. And from that, a whole field in therapy for the four-legged animals came to being spanning a whole era into the next till the present time.

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.

Strength training: This exercise is integral in keeping your horse s core strong and flexible. It is very excellent for application to horses that just had some form of spine injury surgery and recovering. This practice helps maintain the pet s ability to keep balance and do weight-bearing activities. Let the horse lie on their side while you gently make use of their limbs in rolling them from side to side.

If your pet undergoes surgery after an injury with no therapy thereafter or receives no initial attention at all, the results can be debilitating, within just a few days of the injury the muscle tissue begins breaking down and deteriorating. And the area of injury will begin swelling even more because of lack of movement in that selfsame area.

Muscle gain; when a muscle stops being used, that muscle weakens, when a horse gets injured, in order to ignore pain in its affected limb, it starts avoiding usage of any muscle that induces feeling pain, this makes that part of the body dormant, however, when therapy is undertaken all chances of continuation of this are null and void, thus helping your pet grow its muscles.

Water is a good agent in this training for by itself it provides a resistance which is gentle for the pet, something which steadily helps build the prowess of the muscle and main it also. Thus all throughout the process till completion weigh bearing activities that would reverse the progress made by the therapy need to be avoided at all costs.
