Equine Cryotherapy

---

Equine cryotherapy in Sonoma County and Marin County uses controlled, localized surface cooling to support comfort, recovery, and mobility in horses. Often referred to as cold therapy for horses, treatments are brief, non-invasive, and designed to calm overworked muscles, joints, and soft tissue following training, competition, or increased workload. Sessions are customized based on each horse’s activity level, sensitivity, and recovery needs, making cryotherapy a practical option for sport, performance, working, and aging horses alike. Mobile Cryo Pro provides on-site equine cryotherapy services for barns, trainers, and private horse owners throughout Santa Rosa, Petaluma, Windsor, Novato, and surrounding Sonoma and Marin County barns

Equine cryotherapy is commonly selected to support:

• Post-training and post-competition recovery
• Muscle relaxation and comfort
• Joint stiffness and overuse support
• Tendon and ligament stress management
• Swelling and fluid retention support
• Mobility and range-of-motion comfort
• General wellness for aging or retired horses

Many trainers and owners appreciate cryotherapy because it is:

• Non-invasive
• Drug-free
• Quick and well-tolerated
• Easy to integrate into existing care routines
