What tools can we use to rehabilitate horses after injuries
Physiotherapy is important 
It helps to reduce inflammation improve strength and increase range of motion with the aim of restoring the animal back to full function. Soft tissue techniques may be used to loosen up scars swollen joints and thickened tissues after injury. 
Laser therapy involves the use of focused light waves at a specific wavelength 
It is intended to encourage healing in the tissue. It does this by improving blood flow reducing inflammation and reducing pain. Its not invasive or painful just creating a little warmth on the skin surface but after multiple sessions healing of the structures can be seen. We have seen most success with the use of laser treatment in suspensory ligament injuries and tendonitis. 
Shockwave uses high energy sound waves to provide impulses into damaged tissue 
It has been found to be most useful for treating injuries occurring at locations where soft tissue and bone meet these are often areas that are difficult to treat with other medical or surgical methods. The most common areas of treatment include proximal suspensory desmitis collateral ligament injuries and sacroiliac disease. 
Acupuncture is the insertion of needles into pressure points
This is done in order to result in pain relief in the affected area it can only be offered by vets and should be used in combination with other treatments.
Legal Issues
Remember it is illegal for anyone to manipulate or treat your horse without veterinary prescription with the
 exception of a farrier balancing their feet andor shoeing them. Even a qualified physiotherapist is not permitted to diagnose disease and can only legally treat once directed to do so by a vet. Evading or misunderstanding this law can even invalidate your insurance so make sure your vet signs off on any therapies your horse needs.
