Cold Salt Spa Therapy at Blu Equine

What is Cold Salt Spa Therapy?

Cold Salt Spa therapy combines the benefits of cryotherapy with the natural healing properties of saltwater. Your horse's legs are immersed in chilled, aerated saltwater that reduces inflammation, decreases swelling, and promotes circulation.

The cold temperature causes vasoconstriction, which reduces blood flow to the area and decreases inflammation. The salt in the water has natural antiseptic properties and helps draw out excess fluid from tissues, while the aeration provides a gentle massage effect.
