Cryotherapy
Subzero therapy uses pressurized CO2to target very specific areas such as joints, including the hock, stifle, pastern and fetlock, resulting in optimized range of motion and reduced pain.
This device treats numerous regions of the sports horse’s body for effective maintenance and injury prevention.

Treatment brings an immediate reduction in pain caused by joint, ligament and tendon issues, allowing horses to recover from acute and chronic lameness faster.

Swelling decreases rapidly, while associated increases in blood flow enables faster healing of damaged soft tissue, especially with laminitic horses.

Rapid resolution of post-exercise tension and pain from microtears reduces the risk of further tissue damage.

Blood vessels dilate leading to improve circulation, minimizing the possibility of further damage caused by poor blood flow to injury sites.
How Does It Work?
The diffuser streams high-pressure, carbon dioxide (CO2) gas at 70 bars pressure and -110°F to the affected site on the horse’s body. This creates a thermal shock that immediately activates the sensory neuroreceptors under the skin.
The horse’s central nervous system responds with a corrective reflex, which brings a reduction in inflammation, swelling and pain, with further muscular relaxation, within just 60 seconds.
