Astrid performs laser therapy on a horse

Laser therapy for animals

Targeted light therapy to support recovery.

Low Level Laser and LED therapy for horses and dogs, offered separately or combined with osteopathy.

How does it work?

Supporting natural processes in the body.

Laser therapy treats a defined area with concentrated red laser light and, depending on the application, blue LED light. Astrid carefully identifies the affected area and relevant trigger points and adapts the treatment accordingly.

This form of light therapy is used to support local circulation and cellular activity. It can therefore complement pain management, wound care and recovery of muscles, tendons, joints and skin.

Potential benefits

Targeted, portable and non-invasive.

Support recovery

Aims to support the different stages of the body’s natural recovery process.

Comfort

May complement care for pain, tension and swelling.

Circulation

Supports local circulation and delivery of nutrients to the treated area.

Wound care

May complement treatment of wounds, scars and skin conditions.

On location

The portable equipment can be used at the stable, at the client’s location or on the road.

Combined care

Can be offered separately or in combination with osteopathy.

For horses

  • Tendon, joint and muscle injuries
  • Back and muscle tension
  • Wounds and scar care

Treatment plan

Adapted to the condition, area and response.

  1. 1

    Astrid locates the affected body area and relevant trigger points.

  2. 2

    The area is treated for an appropriate length of time with the suitable device.

  3. 3

    The animal’s response and progress determine the next steps.

  4. 4

    A more extensive course often consists of 6 to 8 sessions, generally 2 to 3 times per week.

Fee

A full combined laser and osteopathic treatment costs €100, excluding any travel costs. The frequency and pricing of a separate laser programme are discussed in advance.

Response to laser therapy varies according to the animal, condition and stage of treatment. No specific outcome or exact recovery time can be guaranteed.
