The procedure is quick, simple & painless, the horse is usually unaware it is even being performed.
The Therapist will simply hold the head of the unit close to the area for treatment for a few minutes, while the light from the unit will penetrate the affected areas.
Once the therapy procedure is finished, the horse can return to its normal routine.
Depending on the ailment sometimes more than one treatment may be required, but this will be discussed.
