Hydrotherapy Spa
The Equine Spa harnesses the power of cold hydrotherapy treatments on
lower leg injuries. The ultra cool temperature (2º - 4º Celsius) and
salinity of the water combine to increase the well known therapeutic
qualities of both sea and fresh water in their natural states.

How it works
The success of cold water hydrotherapy is dependant upon a combination
of factors:
- Water Temperature
- The water temperature is held between 2-4°C. At this temperature
the water is at the point of freezing and as such is more dense
and has a higher dissolved oxygen content. By having the water
this cold micro-organic activity is minimised and pain management is
improved.
- Salt Concentration
- Salt has been established for its healing powers and poultice effect
for generations. The salt in Spa bath Hydrotherapy is to a greater
concentration than that of sea water increasing the potential healing
powers of the water.
- Water Depth
- The depth of the water increases the physical pressure exerted onto
the tissues.
- Aeration of Water
- The aeration of the water causes turbulence providing massage, but
also increasing the dissolved oxygen content in the water. The higher
oxygen content is believed to improve wound healing as is suggested
with hyper baric oxygen chambers.
