Cold Therapy - Ice is Still the Best!
In a recent study conducted by DVM Magazine, various methods of cold therapy were evaluated for effectiveness, from high-tech units costing up to $5000 to simple buckets of cold water. Of all the methods, it was concluded that old fashioned ice was the most effective for cooling horses’ legs. The Professional's Choice Ice Boot was found to be the most efficient way to administer that ice.
The Professional's Choice Ice Boot rose above the others due to its practical design and superior quality neoprene. Elastic pockets inside the boot allow the user to vary the amount and location of the ice depending upon the injury or desired result. The boot is kept securely in place by hook-and-loop closures. The compression of the boot also adds to its effectiveness. According to the DVM Magazine article, “Research shows that compression further reduces edema and swelling and increases the effects of cold therapy.”
