The ECB equine spa uses cold salt hydrotherapy to treat and prevent a multitude of injuries in 2°C /35°F saltwater.
This equine spa successfully addresses virtually all lower leg injuries including tendon and ligament injuries, laminitis, splints, sore shins, open wounds, and hoof conditions.
Cold Salt hydrotherapy for horses is an effective and drug-free therapy that can be used for rehabilitation and performance as well as injury prevention. It increases mobility and reduces swelling in the limbs before and after competitive events and training.
The cold temperature of the water in the equine spa rapidly increases blood circulation across the body. This allows for pain relief and reduces any bruising, swelling, and inflammation. Tissue damage is repaired and recovery time is reduced. The addition of salt allows for the benefits of salt water therapy where inflammation is further reduced and the natural healing process of an injury is enhanced.
ECB Equine has manufactured over 400 equine spas since 1998 with offices worldwide – headquartered in The UK and The USA. As the market leader, ECB has supplied all equine disciplines along with rehabilitation facilities. With the backing of cold salt hydrotherapy pioneer, Professor Evan Hunt, DVM, ECB customers are given exclusive advice and consultation from Professor Hunt
