Lymphangitis

Lymphangitis occurs when the horse’s lymphatic system isn't working correctly. The lymphatic system works through movement. Lymphangitis is where one limb, usually the hind limb, becomes hard and swollen due to the build-up of the body’s toxins in that limb. It is extremely Important to disperse this as effectively as you can.

Using the Niagara Equissage Pulse® Digital back pad it will already be working on the lymphatic system. Using the portable hand unit you will find that you can work directly on the swollen and hard area and work right through the painful swollen leg.

When the horse is used to it and happy with it, you can use the hand unit in the leg boot on the hind leg. What is important is that you spend time working through it until the lymphatic system has cleansed these toxins. This will need ongoing treatment.
