I am happy to announce I have now completed my training in Advanced Equine Sports Massage through Animal Dynamics. My head is spinning somewhat, but I hope to do more continuing education to provide the best service and results for my clients. 
President of Animal Dynamics, Don Doran and his wife Lisa have a plethora of first hand knowledge and expertise. They have both treated a myriad of top athletes, human and equine, and humbly pass on  that hard earned experience in their classes. 
If you're in Florida and are getting ready for season and want your equine partner to be willing, eager and ready to take on the competition give me a call or email to set up an appointment.
As always feel free to comment/ask questions below .

Finding The Best Therapy For Each Horse

9/3/2019

0 Comments

 
Here at  Cottage Farm we use a variety modalities to assist with injury prevention, recovery and rehabilitation.
We use and recommend RevitaVet Light T
echnology which is available in red light only pads and poll cap which are very simple to use,  portable  and super lightweight and red/infrared , 7 program IR2 and IR2 Complete, and  an add on to this system is hoof pads.

​Our highlight here is the RevitaVet IR2. The photo below shows the unit being used on the fetlocks . 

The fetlock is a high motion joint, even relatively mild arthritis can adversely affect performance.
The 2 pads can be easily used on multiple locations such as coronet bands, vertically for tendons, 
horizontally on hocks . If using for wound healing we suggest covering the LEDS with cling cover to keep applicator clean.


Red light is thought to work by producing a biochemical effect in cells that strengthens the mitochondria. The mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell — it’s where the cell’s energy is created.
The energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living things is called ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
By increasing the function of the mitochondria using RLT, a cell can make more ATP. With more energy, cells can function more efficiently, rejuvenate themselves, and repair damage.
RLT is different from laser or intense pulsed light (IPL) therapies because it doesn’t cause damage to the skin surface. 


Visible red light, at a wavelength of 630-660 nanometers  penetrates tissue to a depth of about 8-10 mm (approx. 3/8th") It is very beneficial in treating problems close to the surface such as wounds, cuts, activate trigger and acupuncture points and is particularly effective in treating infections. Infrared light (800-1000nm) penetrates to a depth of about 30-40 mm ( approx. 1.6"in) which makes it more effective in the treatment of joints, deep muscle, tendons etc.

What is Low Level Light Therapy and how does it support PEMF

1/21/2019

0 Comments

Activo -Med Wave Light Pulse and why it is one of my favorite tools.

WLP is both a  low level laser, and pemf in one.
Different modalities working on the body's cells in different  ways.
​
Light is energy that behaves like a wave, made up of  particles called photons.  Near infrared wavelengths in the 600 nm to 1000 nm range react with tissues differently than far infrared.This technology is referred to as photobiomodulation,  or more commonly light therapy .
When applied to damaged cells using low energy lasers or light-emitting diode (LED) , these specific wavelengths have been shown to promote tissue repair and modulate pain. Studies show that a photoacceptor molecule within the cell called cytochrome c oxidase actually absorbs the photons and accelerates the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the form of energy the cells use.
Damaged cells have a hard time making the energy they need to repair themselves, and light therapy gives them the fuel they need to repair and regenerate cells  restore homeostasis and reduce inflammation.
Light therapy provides not only a temporary increase in circulation but also increases new capillary formation. These treatments help tissue and nerves heal more quickly with less scar tissue, while reducing pain caused by injury, arthritis or other inflammatory conditions.

​PEMF - pulse electro-magnetic therapy works on the microcirculation. All energy is electromagnetic in nature. All atoms, chemicals and cells produce electromagnetic fields (EMFs). Every organ in the body produces it own signature bioelectromagnetic field.  Nothing happens in the body without an electromagnetic exchange. 

Therapeutic pemf is designed to positively support  cellular energy  which helps restore normal function. This is done with specific frequency, waveforms, intensity over a specific time period depending on the condition being treated. 

The Wave Light Pulse is just one of the pieces of equipment that Activo-Med manufactures using more than one modality. The Power Pads can also be ordered with a combination of modalities including pemf,Light therapy and massage.

​The combination of the pemf and Light therapy, to me , just makes sense in that you are revitalizing cells through the light therapy increasing the energy of the cell through increased ATP production which then makes the oxygenation of the newly revitalized cells more effective. The  visible red light therapy is working to about a depth of 8 - 10 mm, the infrared approx. 30 - 40 mm and the pemf  has the ability to travel through the body.

One Control Box -Lots of Options

1/15/2019

One of the things that drew me to the Activo-Med line of equipment was the versatility.
The control box that works the Combi Pro rug, pemf AND ​massage in one rug, also operates front and hind boots (add on items), which can be run at the same time as the rug giving your horse a truly all over body therapy session in only 25 minutes.
​Additional add ons that are available :

Pecdominal Pad - many horses, especially those running and jumping, suffer muscle tension in the pectoral and abdominal area often experiencing anxiousness during girthing.
This is the only system on the market that provides both pulsed and massage to this area.
This item can be used as a stand alone item or as an addition  to the Combi Pro or Contender (with upgraded compact control box)

Hoof Boot - A specialized item , the hoof boots are available individually or as a pair. Can be bought as a complete set with the control box/battery  or as an add-on to the blanket.
​Several top equestrians use these regularly on horses with heavy jumping schedules. Other uses are for Navicular, coffin bone fractures, hoof bruises.

Power Pad - A compact and affordable way to provide pemf/massage/light therapy to your horse to target specific areas. All three therapies can be run at the same time or individually.
The pad can be easily used on neck, withers, shoulders, saddle area, lumbar/SI, rump.

​Wave Light Pulse -WLP - This is my go to for everyday therapy, either by itself or as an adjunct therapy to equine body work. 
Available as red/infrared, pemf, massage and as a cluster, pen or boot this system can work on a myriad of issues:

*Muscles *tendons * ligament * bumps and bruises * edema * wounds * arthritis
​* fractures * splints.
