PBM therapy for horses works the same way as the therapy does in humans. It improves tissue repair, reduces pain, and reduces inflammation. These all affect your horse’s physical and mental health and left unchecked, can lead to many other chronic conditions.

Studies have shown that applying red LED and near infrared light to an inflamed area can make a significant difference in reducing inflammatory numbers in the blood after only 30 minutes. Best of all, the high intensity single point lasers can release trigger points and treat acupuncture points instead of using needles.

Total You Health uses a Veterinary Portable Thor PBM system and uses company protocols for conditions that affect equine clients. It can help with muscle, tendon, and ligament injuries, pain management from trauma and post-surgical wounds, inflammation and swelling, wound healing, degenerative disc disease and more.

Anti-inflammatory drugs do not heal, cannot be used before a competition, and often have side effects. PBM is best delivered as soon as an injury occurs but is helpful at any point in the recovery process.
