Equine Recovery Treatments
Cryotherapy and Class IV laser therapy, brought to your barn or show stall.
Performance Recovery Equine offers two drug-free, non-invasive treatments for horses in competition, training, and recovery. Book one, or combine both in the same visit.
Our Two Treatments
Equine Cryotherapy
Targeted CO2 cold therapy that cools a specific area in about 90 seconds. Owners often choose cryotherapy after hard work, when swelling or heat shows up, or as part of a regular maintenance routine.
Commonly treated:
neck, shoulders, back, SI, hocks, stifles, knees, tendons, fetlocks, pasterns, and feet
Equine Laser Therapy
High-powered Class IV laser therapy that uses light energy and gentle warmth to support circulation in the treated area. Owners often choose laser therapy for muscle and tendon recovery, joint comfort, sore spots, and skin and wound care alongside their vet.
Commonly treated: stifles, hocks, shoulders, neck, back and SI, sore spots, and skin, plus full-body sessions
Cryotherapy vs. Laser Therapy: How They Differ
Cryotherapy cools.
Intense, targeted cold constricts blood vessels and cools the area. It's quick, focused, and useful when an area is warm, swollen, or sore after work.
Laser therapy warms.
Concentrated light energy creates gentle warmth and supports circulation through the treated tissue. Sessions can target a single area or cover the whole body. Used together, they work in sequence: cryotherapy constricts first, then laser therapy opens everything back up to encourage the horse's body to do what it naturally does when it's working well.
Two treatments, one provider.
Cryotherapy, laser therapy, or both, all booked with one call or text.
Using Both Treatments Together
Most recovery providers offer cryotherapy alone. Performance Recovery Equine offers cryotherapy and Class IV laser therapy together, because the two work in opposite ways.
Cryotherapy cools. Targeted cold constricts blood vessels and cools the area.
Laser therapy warms. Light energy follows, with gentle warmth that supports circulation.

Treatment Questions
Can my horse have cryotherapy and laser therapy on the same day?
Yes. Both treatments are available in the same appointment, and Jennifer often uses them together.
Are these treatments a substitute for veterinary care?
No. Both are supportive recovery services designed to complement your veterinarian's care, not replace diagnosis or treatment.
Can Jennifer treat my horse while we're traveling or competing?
Yes. Check the Where to Find Us page to see where Jennifer is currently working, then text 540-222-0460 to reserve a time. If your horse is competing, check your competition's rules first. FEI events prohibit Class IV lasers, and prohibit cryotherapy during the event and for five days beforehand.
How much do treatments cost?
Pricing depends on the treatment and the areas treated. Text540-222-0460for a quote.
Do you travel to my barn?
Yes. Jennifer is fully mobile, serving Central Virginia and Central Florida as well as horse shows nationwide. Availability outside her primary areas depends on her travel schedule..
