Electrotherapy
Accelerating Recovery with Electrotherapy
At Equi-Can Active, our Electrotherapy services are designed to expedite recovery times and improve healing outcomes for sport and working animals. Electrotherapy promotes faster tissue repair and regeneration, helping reduce scar tissue, which is typically weaker and more prone to reinjury. Whether your animal has suffered from wounds, tendon, ligament, muscle, or bone injuries, Electrotherapy supports effective healing while also relieving pain and inflammation.

Comprehensive Care Approach
At Equi-Can Active, we believe in a holistic, multi-disciplinary team approach to your animal’s health. Every initial session begins with a full history intake, followed by a dynamic assessment that includes observing your animal’s movement in walk, trot, and turn-up. We also conduct a thorough muscle examination to identify areas of pain, weakness, or imbalance.
From this detailed assessment, we craft a customised treatment plan that may include manual therapy techniques, electrotherapy, and a specialised exercise program. Regular reports and updates will be provided to your vet, ensuring a collaborative, multi-disciplinary approach to your animal’s care. We also work closely with other professionals, such as farriers and saddlers, to ensure the best possible outcomes.
