1. Enhanced Healing with Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is an effective treatment for wounds and open flesh injuries, helping to reduce inflammation, stimulate cellular repair, and promote tissue regeneration. This non-invasive technique accelerates the healing process by increasing blood flow and oxygen supply to the affected area.

2. Winback Tecartherapy for Accelerated Recovery
The Winback Tecartherapy system is used to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. By delivering targeted radiofrequency energy, this therapy increases circulation, reduces inflammation, and aids in the regeneration of damaged tissues, helping wounds heal faster and reducing the risk of complications.

3. Kinesiology Taping for Support and Protection
Kinesiology taping can be used to support injured areas, improving lymphatic drainage and reducing swelling. This helps maintain a stable environment around the wound, protecting it from further injury while promoting healthy tissue recovery.

4. Gentle Manual Therapy to Maintain Mobility
While the wound heals, it’s essential to keep the surrounding muscles and tissues healthy to prevent stiffness and loss of mobility. Sarah uses gentle manual therapy techniques to keep muscles flexible and promote overall wellness during the recovery process.

5. Bespoke Treatment Plans for Wound Care
Sarah creates individualized treatment plans based on the specific needs of each horse, considering the nature and severity of the wound. She works closely with veterinarians to ensure that all treatments complement the horse's medical care and that progress is carefully monitored.

By combining these advanced therapies with compassionate care, Sarah Heaton Veterinary Physiotherapy helps horses heal from wounds more effectively, ensuring a smoother and quicker recovery process.
