How long does equine rehabilitation take?

The length of an equine rehabilitation program depends on the injury. Tendon and ligament injuries may require several months of controlled therapy and conditioning, while muscle strains or minor injuries may recover more quickly.

What therapies help tendon injuries in horses?

Common therapies used in tendon rehabilitation include shockwave therapy, laser therapy, cryotherapy, PEMF therapy, and controlled conditioning using a water treadmill.

Is water treadmill therapy good for horses recovering from injury?

Yes. Water treadmill therapy allows horses to exercise with reduced concussion while improving circulation and muscle engagement during recovery.

Can a horse return to performance after rehabilitation?

Many horses successfully return to training and competition when rehabilitation is performed correctly and the injury is allowed sufficient time to heal.

Where is Advanced Equine Recovery located?

Advanced Equine Recovery is located at Rein Maker Ranch, 16168 Blanton View Ave, Wayne, OK 73065 — conveniently serving horse owners near Norman, Oklahoma City, and across Oklahoma and North Texas.

Do you offer post-surgical equine rehabilitation?

Yes. Advanced Equine Recovery provides post-surgical rehabilitation for horses recovering from OCD surgery, kissing spine surgery, tendon repair, and colic surgery. No veterinary referral is required. We coordinate closely with your surgeon and veterinarian throughout the recovery process.

Equine Recovery Training

Students will gain hands-on experience operating the following equine recovery devices & protocols

Shockwave therapy is commonly used by veterinarians, equine therapists, and trainers to address musculoskeletal conditions and injuries involving ligaments and tendons. This therapy can help stimulate healing, reduce discomfort, and support a faster return to training or competition. Many performance barns and rehabilitation programs also incorporate shockwave as part of routine recovery care for high-level equine athletes.
The Tri-Wave laser uses three pulsed wavelengths to stimulate tissue repair while helping reduce pain and inflammation. Widely used by veterinarians and equine rehab specialists, it supports faster recovery from musculoskeletal injuries and helps performance horses return to training sooner.
Subzero therapy uses pressurized CO₂ to deliver targeted cold treatment to specific areas such as the hock, stifle, pastern, and fetlock. This therapy helps reduce pain, improve range of motion, and support faster recovery from equine injuries.
An equine water treadmill provides low-impact conditioning and rehabilitation by using water resistance and buoyancy to support the horse’s body during movement. It helps improve strength, cardiovascular fitness, joint mobility, and recovery from injury.
Equine somatic massage focuses on the horse’s nervous system and fascia to release deep tension patterns stored in the body. This therapy supports relaxation, improved movement, and better body awareness for both rehabilitation and performance horses.
An equine solarium combines infrared heat therapy with a gently shifting vibration floor to relax muscles, stimulate circulation, and support recovery. The heat helps warm and loosen soft tissues while the vibration encourages circulation and muscle activation.
Learn how PEMF therapy supports circulation, cellular repair, and muscle relaxation in horses.
Understand proper coil placement and treatment areas for effective sessions.
Training includes safety guidelines, session timing, and best practices for different conditions.
You will also learn when PEMF is most beneficial for recovery, maintenance, and performance support.
