My horse has had a few problems recently, back related, strains etc. He also had windgalls on 2 legs. I was considering investing in a pair of Bioflow boots for him - has anyone used these and got any good/bad reports, if you think they are worth investing in etc. Thanks
 
I used them on my mare whilst she was on box rest for a tendon sheath injury. I built it up slowly until i was leaving them on for the max 12 hours, the leg would be warmer after taking them off (assumed to be the increase in circulation) but by the next morning would be stone cold, which was a definate improvement, the swelling also reduced completely with their use.

They didn't do anything for her lameness though, although she would initially trot up sound from the box, the next day she would trot lame, a pattern we cant stop sadly or seem to get to the bottom of, and was neither improved or made worse by the use of the bioflow boots. I haven't used them since she has been out at grass but perhaps I should as they did see to have a positive affect to a certain extent.
 
I haven't used them on either of my horses but my friend does on hers - her old mare has spavin and general age related wear and tear on her legs - was a sj - and they really help to keep her mobile and reduce the need for bute. She also put them on her youngster the other day - had tweaked something hooning around and wasn't sound - 2 or 3 days later was fine.

I am of the oipinion that you can't tell a horse what you have put on so they can't pretend or imagine an effect - there is no placebo effect - if they work they work. My dog has had a magentic collar on following recent surgery and it has made huge improvements on the fluid that was collecting after his drain being removed - the vets wanted him to go back for weekly drains to be performed (they would just fill up again) and with in a week of the collar going on the 'lump' of fluid had more than halved and 2 weeks later has almost gone completely with no further intervention - and dog is much happier too!!

I will be investing in a pair of boots for my horses at payday - will be using them after hard schooling as prevention is better then cure.
 
Nerver used them on my horse, but I always wear one, dont know f it is mind over matter, but, I deffinalty feel better.

Dogs had mag collers but had to take them off as they kept getting caught, but they were not bio-flow.
 
Should explain more, I have hay fever, asthma, dry skin, tierdness.

All seem to be better, except for the tierdness, but aparasntly they make you sleep better, and that I do, so I think I wake too early.:)

I think you should give them ago. I will do as soon as 20 somthing starts to get stiff. I love them
 
I was given this mare as completey non riderable had very bent hind leg best way i explain it but after using the bioflow boots on her every night i got to start riding her six months after she was British eventing to PN sadly i lost her from something completely different
I then used them on my sons pony who had spavins in both hocks had been written off he is now doing all pc things if i do not use them on him he can get very stiff.
Also i use the wrist watch bioflow and it helps me every one has different ideas but i really do swear by them
