Equine Rehabilitation Part 2: Strength Beyond Healing - Advanced

SEE EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK BELOW!
Equine Rehabilitation Part 2: Strength Beyond Healing
is the essential follow-up to Equine Rehabilitation Part 1: Techniques and Preventative Care.
In this advanced volume, we move from managing injury to rebuilding performance, focusing on strength, biomechanics, progressive loading, and long-term soundness.
Drawing on years of hands-on experience with up to 45 horses in live rehabilitation at one time and 110 treatments per day in peak season, this book combines veterinary insight, biomechanics, and real-world program design used in leading equine recovery facilities.
Inside you’ll learn:
-
Biomechanics of Movement — How to read and influence a horse’s gait, balance, and alignment for optimal recovery.
-
Advanced Modalities Explained — Including water treadmill, sea walker, cold spa, PEMF, laser, and shockwave therapy.
-
Progressive Strength Building — Detailed frameworks to transition from recovery to peak performance safely.
-
Tendon, Ligament, and Muscle Rehabilitation — Understanding injury behavior, scar tissue organization, and reinjury prevention.
-
Cold Hydrotherapy & Inflammation Control — Managing pain, improving circulation, and speeding repair.
-
Monitoring Tools & Techniques — Using thermal imaging, gait analysis, and visual symmetry assessment to track recovery.
-
Discipline-Specific Return Programs — Tailored reintroduction schedules for dressage, showjumping, racing, endurance, and more.
Each section is backed by real case examples, proven protocols, and clear visuals designed for practical use in rehab centers or private facilities.

Why Part Two: Beyond Healing Into Resilience
The first book in this series laid the foundation of equine rehabilitation — the principles, the methods, and the protocols to bring a horse from injury to soundness. But soundness is not the end goal. Too often, horses that appear sound after rest or basic therapy reinjure themselves as soon as the demands of training return.
True rehabilitation must go beyond healing into the realm of resilience. That is why this second book exists. Equine Rehabilitation Part II is not simply about managing injury — it is about building a stronger, straighter, and more capable athlete than before. It is about developing the horse’s body so that scar tissue becomes functional tissue, weak muscles become strong, and compensations are replaced by symmetry.
And it is about prevention. With the right tools — water treadmill, sea walker, cold water spa, core exercises, and carefully structured conditioning — we can not only repair injury but reduce the likelihood of it occurring in the first place. A horse with correct posture, a strong core, and balanced movement is better prepared to carry a rider, withstand the pressures of competition, and enjoy a longer, healthier athletic life.
