The Original Cold Therapy Gel
When a horse loses fitness, their muscles soften bringing the scary reality of joint inflammation as well as muscle, tendon and ligament strains and sprains into play. Cold therapy is without a doubt the best method used to prevent stiffness and lameness, treat old injuries, and prevent future injuries after strenuous workouts.
Common problem areas after a workout:
- Lameness:
which can range from a light limp to refusing to put weight on the limb at all (can be caused by arthritis, injuries, infections, joint disorders and so forth).
- Muscle Strains:
often due to an injury or overworked muscles that can swell, tear and become a source of pain. Discomfort often presented through performance issues.
- Inflammation:
part of the body’s healing process but too much inflammation can be damaging to tissues and should be treated as soon as possible.
In 1996, Mr. William Quinn, a chemist, and proud racehorse owner developed ICEMAN as a more effective cooling treatment for his own racehorses. With his knowledge of the healing properties of herbs, he formulated ICEMAN®, a unique combination of herbs, that included Arnica, Echinacea and natural menthol. ICEMAN proved to cool down and relieve the pain for horses’ muscles, joints, and tendons more effective than alternative icing methods.
Whilst many new brands and alternatives are now available on the market, the unique herbal formula, H8000, still remains a ‘family’ secret.
