Let’s Explore Light Therapy
Familiar to many of us, but a whole new world to others.

Anything giving us the confidence we’re helping our horses live a pain-free life is worth exploring right?

We agree it looks a little like you’ve brought ‘Star Wars’ to the barn when you switch on its powerful beam of light, but it doesn’t destroy like a lightsaber—it heals!

HOW IT WORKS…

We could discuss the ‘science’ behind it all in great detail, with words like ‘mitochondria’ and ‘proteins’ and ‘chemical changes’… but…the answer in the most simplistic form is that the wavelength of the light is penetrating the skin and affecting the skin cells. The cells take in the energy of the light which tells them it is time to divide. Each time a cell splits from this increased energy, the new cells emerge and replace the old, damaged cells.

There is a multitude of scientific research on how light therapy works. If you’re curious to know more details, be sure to read this article on the benefits and science behind light therapy and get up to speed on the proof behind how Photonic Health light therapy works to help our animals heal faster, stay healthier and live longer.

DIY…

Regardless of your level of familiarity, the key message for any horse owner is: you can decrease your horse’s pain levels – by yourself!

DIY pain relief for your horse is a positive reality! Just as Natural Horseman Saddles wants to educate and empower you to feel confident in your own saddle fit, Photonic Health gives you tools and methodology to be in control of your horse’s pain management, prevention, and general well-being.

WHY WE CHOOSE PHOTONIC HEALTH?

Based in Ocala, Florida, Photonic Health has been a trusted source of advice and pain management for several of the Natural Horseman Saddles team and their horses for many years.
We wanted to share with you what we use, along with our proven riding equipment, to keep our horses in tip-top shape. As we always say, there are many facets to creating a healthy, comfortable riding horse that includes equine dentists, vets, nutritionists, farriers & trimmers, saddle fitters/saddles and of course bodyworkers.

Bryan Owen and Donna Woods from Photonic Health have developed many online/self-guided & in-person courses, books and products to help you become somewhat of an expert in the management of your horse’s comfort and health. More than just teaching you about treatments, they coach you to identify symptoms of equine pain. To fix it, you first need to know it exists!

THE BODY BALANCE PROTOCOL
