Ice Boots with Pressotherapy For Every Horse

I’ve tried many traditional recovery methods over the years but nothing compares to the experience I’ve had with the Polar Stride! Traditional methods often focus on one area—like a foam roller for muscle tension or ice for inflammation. Polar Stride combines pressotherapy and cryotherapy in one device. The pressotherapy helps improve circulation by applying gentle pressure, stimulating lymphatic drainage, and reducing muscle tightness. The cryotherapy then targets inflammation, helping to numb pain and accelerate  recovery.

In the past, I’d spend hours trying to reduce my horse swollen legs by hand-walking, bandaging, applying clay, hosing the legs down but now with Polar Stride, I feel significant diference after just 20-30 minutes. The alternating pressure and cold help to speed up the swelling down process, meaning I can get back to training much quicker without the lingering soreness.

Polar Stride is easy to use. You just place device on your horses' legs, sit back and relax while it works. It’s so much more convenient. It’s hands-down the most efficient and effective solution I’ve found!

As a veterinarian working with performance horses, recovery after surgery or infiltration is crucial to ensuring the horse returns to full function. Traditional methods, such as bandaging or icing, can be effective but often fail to address the full scope of healing needed. After using the Polar Stride device on several post-surgery and post-infiltration cases, I can confidently say that it offers remarkable benefits for equine recovery. Overall, the Polar Stride is an exceptional tool for equine recovery after surgery or infiltration. The device provides targeted, effective treatment that speeds up recovery, reduces pain, and minimizes inflammation—all while being non-invasive and easy to use. It’s now a vital part of our recovery protocol for any post-op horse, and the results speak for themselves.

While ice pads can offer temporary relief, they don’t address the root causes of soreness or fatigue. Pressotherapy helps with muscle/tendon tension and circulation, and cryotherapy targets swelling and inflammation. This makes Polar Stride not just about symptom management but actual recovery on a cellular level. It feels like it’s getting to the deeper tissues, rather than just masking the discomfort.
