Sea Horses in Loch Duich at Shieldaig Western Scotland SCO 2374
Hydrotherapy, or treatment in water, especially sea water has long been used for the treatment of many health conditions in humans and animals. Horses themselves have known the value of standing in cold water to assist in easing early laminitis effects. Human exercise physiologists and physiotherapists have used hot or cold therapy to ease or aid repair of muscle, joint and traumatic injuries. Similar use has been made of sea water by horse trainers around the world when based at coastal locations. All believe the salt water aids in recovery or prevention of some lower leg conditions but few have proof that water, a natural therapy, actually works. SCO 2374
