Finding The Best Therapy For Each Horse

Here at  Cottage Farm we use a variety modalities to assist with injury prevention, recovery and rehabilitation.
We use and recommend RevitaVet Light Technology 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.
