THERMOBOOT is a special resting protector from the Zandonà Therapeutic Line, developed specifically for applying hot/cold therapies directly to a horse's tendons and joints. Made from neoprene with an aluminium thermal coating for better insulation and extended hot/cold effect, this knee brace includes 3D grid padding for optimal hot/cold transfer and to protect the horse's skin from burns. The unique shape of the THERMOBOOT has been developed to ensure stability and comfort during use, promoting optimal contact with the tendons and joints. The excellent fastening system ensures a perfect fit at the extremity and is equipped with an 'easy-pull' tab for safe and quick removal of the product. Regular use of the THERMOBOOT for short periods (20-30 minutes) after intense exercise can help prevent minor injuries and/or trauma to the ligaments, tendons, and joints, as well as reduce swelling, overheating, and localized pain. THERMOBOOT can be used on both the horse's forelimbs and hindlimbs. Contains two gel packs (one for each protector). COLD THERAPY Cold therapy can be used as a daily treatment for your horse. During intense effort, micro-traumas occur in the capillaries, tendons, and ligaments. The resulting hyperaemia can persist and facilitate inflammatory effects. Cold therapy allows for vasoconstriction, reduces the activity of proteolytic enzymes, decreases the influence of inflammatory processes and toxins, and provides pain relief to recover circulatory conditions after effort. The sooner the temperature of the tendon can be reduced after exercise, the better the outcome. THERMOBOOT can also help treat bruises, sprains, injuries, strains, and damage to tendons and joints. In cases of severe injuries where hyperextension of the fetlock has occurred, ice therapy is required, and the THERMOBOOT can be used for sessions of 20-30 minutes 4 times or more per day. The initial stages of the injury are crucial: the earlier it is applied, the better. In these serious cases, the continuous use of cold therapy combined with a controlled exercise programme is essential for recovery and to speed up the rehabilitation process. NOTE: IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE COLD THERAPY UNDER THE ADVICE OF YOUR VETERINARIAN IF SEVERE SYMPTOMS PERSIST, CONSULT YOUR VETERINARIAN IMMEDIATELY. HEAT THERAPY Heat therapy is ideal for promoting blood flow to a specific area of the body, eliminating residual inflammation, promoting the influx of nutrients, and thus healing. Heat can also be beneficial before exercise and for horses suffering from arthritis. The application of heat can increase the elasticity of soft tissues, flexibility, and muscle mobility during exercise. Heat also acts as a temporary analgesic, reducing pain. Heat should be introduced gradually into the horse's recovery regimen after an injury to avoid excess heat too soon leading to bleeding. In cases of swelling episodes, apply heat only when the swelling has not increased for at least 24 hours. Alternating heat and cold therapy, gradually increasing the time of heat use and decreasing the time of cold use with each session, will allow you to use only heat therapy at maximum. IMPORTANT NOTICE: It is important to take a gradual approach to acclimatise your horse to hot/cold therapy to achieve all the benefits of the treatment. Tendon injuries can benefit from cold during the initial stages (24-48 hours after injury) to reduce inflammation. After 48 hours, heat therapy can be used to increase blood flow to the treated area to aid the healing process. If a tendon injury is suspected, it is recommended to consult with your veterinarian before applying hot/cold therapy to any injury. USAGE INSTRUCTIONS: COLD APPLICATION The goal of cold therapy is to interrupt the cycle of the inflammatory response before it causes cellular damage. Cold treatment significantly reduces the amount of tissue lost due to secondary injuries. Keep the gel packs in the freezer so the
