The ECB Equine Spa is an integral part of our management of equine distal limb swelling resulting from wounds, tendonitis and lymphedema. It significantly reduces overall hospitalization time in these cases.

The use of seawater in helping healing is not new but taking the water to the horse is innovative. I have seen many horses with tendon injuries that have responded remarkably well to the spa, it has the ability to reduce the acute inflammatory phase rapidly and this is an important part in starting the healing process. Re-injuries also benefit from the spa via the reduction of the chronic inflammation that is commonly present in old lesions, in many cases this has led to a reduced amount of pain associated with the injury. A lot of tendon injuries I’ve seen go through the Spa have not required any further treatment and that is the beauty of the ECB Spa.

The ECB Spa has been an invaluable addition to our clinic. The sustained cold salt water effect provides an excellent anti-inflammatory response to many conditions affecting the lower limbs of our clients’ horses. One of the unforeseen benefits of the spa was the new clientele that it brought to the clinic and the revenue created by additional services beyond spa treatment.

Since the installation of our ECB Equine Spa in April 2012 we have treated a wide variety of orthopaedic cases with great success . The onsite training and technical support has been superb. The spa has been a great addition to our practice.

Sometimes, the most simple ideas are the most brilliant. We are all aware of the effect of ice on inflammation and saltwater on wounds. The problem is that our industry has been trapped in tradition. Trapped by using 20th century techniques in a world full of 21st century progress.

The Equine spa has very effectively married the concepts of tried and true antiinflammatory treatments with state of the art technology. I was introduced to the Equine spa when one of my patients,”Better Talk Now” had an open wound that became infected just prior to a race in Saratoga, NY. We elected to use the Equine spa’s healing properties of cold salt hydrotherapy to aid in the healing process and eliminate any further complications. Three, 10 minute daily treatments were all we used in this case. The wound is no longer a problem.

Certainly, financial considerations will always be a factor in our profession, but here is a product that would be expensive NOT to have. The uses go far beyond the example I cited. The ability of the Equine spa to lower the temperature of the entire equine limb so completely and rapidly, could eliminate the use of more traditional methods that employ more time and effort. Once again, the Equine spa’s balance of simplicity and results are unmatched in our industry.
