Low-Level Laser Therapy 

"Stem cells can be activated allowing increased tissue repair and healing. In dermatology, LLLT has beneficial effects on wrinkles, acne scars, hypertrophic scars, and healing of burns. LLLT can reduce UV damage both as a treatment and as a prophylaxis." Avci, et al (2013).

In layman's terms it helps the horse's body do better by increasing the amount of energy that is available to the cells. 

LLLT can release endorphins in the body; this can help with relaxation and pain management. 

LLLT can help horses with back pain; this can be seen in any horse and can improve kissing spine, alongside manual therapy. 

LLLT increases the blood flow to the treatment area. This decreases harmful inflammation to the horse's tendon and will increase the capacity of regenerative cells. 

"Laser therapy can be an important tool in maintaining performance" in any horse. whether it is a competition horse or a leisure horse.
