CRYOTHERAPY COMPRESSION SYSTEM EQUINE

“I use the Ice Aid weekly at home on the yard. We use it as part of our post gallop routine but also it is essential in managing any swellings that crop up.

It is an integral piece of kit when travelling to 5*. Using it daily to help circulation and anti inflammatory responses post travel and also throughout competition. I would not be without it now”

“Rapid, targeted cryotherapy is a cornerstone of soft-tissue recovery in equine athletes. Vetlig’s Ice Aid portable limb cooling system delivers controlled temperature reduction, optimising post-exercise vascular response, reducing metabolic activity in stressed tissues, and supporting efficient recovery between training and competition. Its portability allows these benefits to be applied immediately, in the stable, in the field, or on the lorry – maximising the recovery window when it matters most”

“I recommended the Ice Aid to a client for use on her eventers. It has proved very effective and easy to use and has helped in post exercise limb cooling and injury treatment. A ready supply of ice is essential.”

“We use it every day, we love it”

"cold as ice. reduces post-exercise inflammation and support circulation. keeps his legs feeling fresh ahead of competition. this machine is great as it can be used anywhere and gets to cooler temperatures than hosing. mr williams doesn’t have any particular ailments i am treating but he has raced pretty hard and therefore a little tlc on his dolly pegs won’t hurt him."

“ice aid is the first cryotherapy unit sold in the country that is fei compliant… the temperatures go down to 0° (not below), and it provides a combination of icy cold with compression akin to a blood pressure cuff, which encourages the blood flow whilst cooling.” Hendricks is enjoying his post bramham ice from the comfort of his stable as it was only a short format this time… but this unit comes with a battery pack which means it can be used in the horse box and at stayaways without needing mains electricity! these units are at the sort of price point that every serious event team needs in their arsenal whether you are icing after or at a competition, or after an injury at home or between trot ups, they are an incredibly important tool to help in our management of the horse’s delicate nature! please do get in touch if you are local to us and want to come and have a demo, but the company is only based in Peterborough, and would be happy to field any queries!!! check out how mr hen is enjoying his spa time"

“we’ve recently started using the vetlig cold therapy machine on hendricks after competitions and intense work. the system circulates ice-cold water through compression cuffs, helping draw heat from the legs and support recovery. it’s designed to reduce swelling, pain and inflammation using continuous cold flow with intermittent compression.”

“i will definitely be using it this season, my dad was the one that put me onto it being a vet and working with fiona davidson. my horse sustained a minor injury this side of christmas, where he was found to have an inflamed branch of his suspensory ligament, which recent scans have shown he has recovered very quickly from and we hope to be out eventing soon.”

“our new compression cryotherapy bandages circulate ice water at less than 6°c with controlled compression to provide greater anti-inflammatory effects and help reduce swelling. the unit has been developed from human post-operative technology and can be used to reduce swelling after surgery, support tendon and ligament injuries, treat joint inflammation, and aid recovery after hard work. compared with cold hosing, ice wraps or clay, the system provides continued fresh cooling alongside compression, allowing consistent treatment and improved recovery support.”
