Thermal Imaging Update

[Tiffany]

Clare from The Inner Picture came out to see my girl today and I was impressed with her professionalism, friendliness and calm approach with my mare. She explained what she would do and how, then got on with it starting at her feet.The images clearly showed a 'hot' spot at the back of her right front heel up towards her pastern. Everywhere else looked normal and bloodflow in feet looked normal. It is her front right that just doesn't feel quite right when being ridden. I should get the images on disc tomorrow so, I'll talk to the vet and arrange x-rays and or a scan.

She also gave her a minute of laser treatment in the heel area and gave my arm a blast of laser because I've been having a few twinges when I move it in certain positions. Must say, my arm feels much looser tonight

I'm considering asking her to check my girl every 6 months so, I can see any changes before they start to cause her a problem.

Hot choccy and marshmellows for all who got this far.

Sounds very interesting, may be a very useful tool to spot trouble before it gets entrenched.

That's what I'm thinking. My mare hasn't felt quite right for a while now but neither vet or farrier have found anything. I feel like I have a starting point now.

how much did it cost? would be interesting to see how it correlates with vet findings

Cost was £55.00 so reasonable price partiularly knowing she picked something up even even though she's not lame.
