How to treat horse tendon injury
This guide explains how to treat horse tendon injury effectively. Knowing how to treat horse tendon injury correctly is essential for supporting recovery and preventing long term damage. Tendon injuries are common in horses and can take time to heal due to limited blood supply. A consistent approach that improves circulation, reduces tension and supports natural healing can make a significant difference. The Horse Tendon Pad provides a simple and effective way to deliver targeted horse tendon treatment as part of a daily care routine. Early intervention and regular care can also help reduce the risk of further strain and support better long term outcomes for your horse.
How to use the Horse Tendon Pad
Injury prevention
Like muscles, tendons suffer microdamage during exercise and need time to naturally repair. As they repair, the muscles and tendons become stronger, in preparation for the next exercise session. Unfortunately, tendons have poor blood supply so take longer to recover that their muscles. If the horse is exercised again before the tendon has fully recovered, the tendon becomes further damaged and eventually chronic tendon pain and damage occurs.
Using the pad following exercise, when your horse will have stressed their tendons, will speed recovery of the tendon and reduce the risk of developing tendon injury.
Allow the tendon to settle for a few hours following exercise. Applying a cold-water hose or ice to help reduce the bleeding from the microdamage is advised prior to applying the pad. The more microdamage, the more bleeding into the tendon and the more scar tissue is created, so reducing the initial damage is very important.
Use the horse tendon pad for 20 minutes to encourage new blood flow to the tendon to help speed the healing process. If the exercise was moderate to hard, you may need to use it a couple of times, and even for the following 3 – 4 days if the tendons are still sore when you press them.
Recovering from a tendon injury
Use the pad in conjunction with treatment from your vet and/or equine physiotherapist. Traditional treatments such as PRP, shockwave therapy, laser and massage are all designed to encourage blood flow and promote healing. The horse treatment pad can be safely used in between these sessions, and accelerate the healing response in between the costly treatment options above.
Use the pad on the affected tendon for 20 minutes, up to 3 times a day.
Supporting recovery with the right approach
Understanding how to treat horse tendon injury is key to long term tendon health and performance. Combining consistent care with targeted therapy can help improve recovery outcomes and reduce the risk of further strain. The Horse Tendon Pad provides a simple way to support this process as part of a daily routine. For more detail on how the technology works, see our guide to horse tendon therapy. Research into vibration therapy for muscle recovery also shows that improving circulation can support healing and reduce discomfort. With regular use and the right approach, you can help your horse recover more comfortably and maintain strong, healthy tendon function over time.
