When a horse receives cryotherapy along their spine, it targets one of the most important areas of their body. The spine is the central pathway that carries signals between the brain and the rest of the body, so any tension, inflammation, or restriction here can influence how the entire horse feels and performs.
By applying cryotherapy to the spinal cord region, we reduce inflammation around the vertebrae and surrounding muscles, encourage blood flow, and help release deep-seated tension. This not only allows the horse to move more freely through their back, but it also improves communication between the nervous system and the muscles.
Many clients notice that after a spinal cryotherapy session, their horses feel more relaxed, flexible, and prepared for work. Focusing on the spine during a “full body” treatment ensures the horse can use their body more evenly, carry themselves correctly, and recover faster—leading to better performance and overall wellbeing.
