equilibrium massage pad for leg injury

[crazycoloured]

My mare injured herself a few months ago in her pelvis area and is slightly lame and stiff on one of her hind legs.Iv thought about investing in a equilibrium pad.Would it help at all?? or am i just wasting money..she's on blue chip dynamic

Get an ACPAT chartered vet physio out to have a look. for one in your area look on the acpat website:http://www.acpat.org.

You would not be wasting your money they are great for the horse and they do work.

Did you have a physio or such to see the horse to start with.

i love mine and they really help my old boy who has arthritis in his hocks. he is much more supple after a massage.

paulineh-yes iv had 2 vets out to see her and both cant work out what the problem is.iv had an equine touch woman out 3 times to treat her and all she said was it could be muscle damage.as a last resort id though id give the massage pad a go but wanted to know if it would be of any benefit to her.obviously from the replies it would

I would then say that it would help your horse.

Maybe there would be someone near you that has one that you maybe able to try.

I've got one and I really rate it as part of an overall work and care programme to keep him in tip top condition so would def invest in one. However, if there is possible muscle damage I'd get a good physio to treat first

Interested as we saw one today - what about on a horse recovering from Kissing Spine? friends horse is on a programme (though before anyone states the obvious - if it was recommended, she would still run it past her vet!)
