Why You Need Cryochaps K2F Ice Boots
Lower leg injuries in horses are a common occurrence. Horses are designed to be super quick and supple, balancing 400kg of bone and muscle on four legs. Furthermore, humans have selectively bred the horse to become more agile, more expressive, more powerful, faster and stronger. However, their limbs do not always cope. Consequently, as any owner will know, injuries are commonplace.
As a result of better veterinary knowledge and diagnostic technology, soft tissue injuries can be diagnosed more easily. Unfortunately, diagnosis often leads to time consuming rehabilitation.
Cryochaps K2F cooling wraps can be used after exercise, ice and compression used together have been seen to help post-exercise recovery.The general theory behind cold therapy is that the cold exposure helps to combat the micro trauma (small tears) in tissues and resultant soreness caused by intense or repetitive exercise.
Initially, the cold therapy constricts blood vessels, flushes waste products and reduces swelling and tissue breakdown. When the ice and compression is removed the healing process jumps-starts as the tissue warms and the blood flow increases with an influx of oxygen. Cryochaps K2F ice boots for horses provide cold therapy and essential compression to be proactive against micro trauma, or to help the healing process after injury.
Cryochaps could be a useful product to add to the cool down routine to reduce leg temperatures quickly and they may help with the horses’ recovery.
