MATERIALS and METHODS
Horses had feet cleaned, legs hosed to remove dirt, and were fitted with a lightweight fecal collection harness. They were then walked into the spa bath hydrotherapy chamber, doors closed and water fill commenced. The hydrotherapy chamber has a water storage capacity of 2500 1iters, maintained at 5 to 9°C, to which was added 20 g/l sodium chloride, 30 g/1 magnesium sulphate. Chlorine was added daily to give a regular freechlorine value of 3 to 5% which together resulted in a conductivity quotient of 28.6 mS (cf.blood serum of 13.5 mS/cm/sec) Once water entry achieved a depth of 30 cm air agitation of water commenced. Water entry was continued until the depth reached mid radius. Ten minutes following the start of air agitation, emptying of the hydrotherapy chamber commenced and water agitation ceased when the level was againat a depth of 30 cm. On emptying the spa the horse was led out, the fecal harness removed, and the legs hosed off. Then the horse is returned to the stall after stretching their legs out. In summary, High Pointe’rehabilitative operations, “We complement and actively continue rehab care from the point of post-operative and postdiagnosis. If the patient is a horse, we can take care of it.” See our 27 typical rehab cases.
