Boosted by social media, this wellness treatment is used by some of the biggest celebrities and athletes in the world who claim it can improve sleep, burn fat, reduce pain, tighten skin, and more. But does it really work, and if so, how? In this blog post, we’ll uncover the basics of cryotherapy, how it works, and its benefits! What is Cryotherapy? Cryotherapy involves using cold temperatures as the primary healing component of all therapeutic processes.Whole-body cryotherapy involves stepping into a chamber cooled by nitrogen gases. The subzero temperatures instantly shock the body and send it into a fight or flight mode. Blood vessels constrict, and blood is redirected to core organs to survive. After exiting the chamber, blood vessels immediately dilate, rushing oxygen-rich blood and endorphins back through the body. The body also produces a boost of anti-inflammatory proteins, rids excess white blood cells, and boosts metabolic rate. Top Benefits of Cryotherapy Helps with pain Relaxes you Stimulates the endorphins Boosts energy levels Rejuvenates Focus Better sleep Increased optimism Reduces anxiety Reduces inflamation

1. Up your marketing game Many people rely on word-of-mouth within the horse owner’s community, and while this can work, by marketing your stable you can immediately begin the conversation instead of waiting for someone else to talk for you. By showing horse owners how using your stables will revolutionise their lives, new clients will begin flooding in. Not enough stable owners are using social media to market their stables, or even to create an online presence, which is such a shame because you can use these tools to attract new clients, AND build customer loyalty Although, this will play into your hands, because you will have less competition on social media platforms... 2. Hold special fun-days Most stables hold special activity days, and this can be anything from competitions, to children’s activity days. The most important thing is that you get people visiting your stables, whatever the occasion. Once people are in your stables, they will see first-hand why your stable is special. 3. Keep your stables attractive Sometimes all it takes is a fresh lick of paint to transform the appearance of a place. Of course, a stable is the home to an animal so it isn’t going to be completely pristine, but by keeping the appearance of your property at its best, you will ensure that your clients will be proud of their horse’s stable, and will boast about you to others. Also, when you have people visiting your stables to attend events (see the second point), if they see somewhere which is aesthetically pleasing, they will naturally be more inclined to enquire about your vacancies. 4. Have a special USP Have something which makes you stand out from the crowd. Having a USP (a unique selling point) gives you a reason why you are better than your competition. This could be your personal expertise, or a certain product or service you offer. 5. Make your stables dog-friendly or kid-friendly This can really take your stables a warm and friendly environment. Of course, you will need to take some extra safety precautions, but the community really appreciate the atmosphere of a stable which is all-inclusive. It will mean that whole families can enjoy the environment you create, which is a major point of interest, especially for the parents of younger horse owners who have to take younger children and family dogs into account when picking a stable. Implement these 5 tips, and watch your property become a bustling atmosphere filled with horsey people - now who wouldn’t want that?! To see what special USP you could have to blow the competition out of the water, see our aquatic treadmill page .
The Struggle for Veterinarians Post-surgery, the risks of bacterial infection are high. The pet owners are stressed, possibly irate. The pressure is on to have the animal recover safely, and quickly. You have to make extra precautions to avoid bacterial infection, which takes up money and attention. Often, the spaces in post-operative care can be quickly filled and if the retention times aren’t efficient, you feel overwhelmed and unable to care for as many patients as possible due to the lack of vacancies. Using a Hyperbaric Chamber The process of hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a relaxing experience, the animal will sit inside a chamber, which is not a dark, enclosed space , in fact the animal can see everything that is happening outside of the chamber. Often the pet will fall asleep during the treatment, which just goes to show how the atmosphere can be really calming for everyone involved during the process. What Can It Do? Oxygen therapy has many benefits: - Anti-aging - Enhance Animal Vitality - Prevention of Obesity Caused by Lack of Exercise - Reducing Body Odour, Making Animal’s Fur Shiny & Supple - Accelerate Wound Healing - Prevention of Bacterial Infection (If you would like to see how it works, read our first blog - Oxygen Therapy For Pets ) Of course, post surgery, accelerating wound healing is a major help for the veterinary surgery because it will speed up retention times, allowing for the surgery to help more animals. And the Pet Owners? Pet owners greatly appreciate the non-invasive nature of oxygen treatment, along with the benefit of their furry child getting better, sooner. Plus, the treatment is relatively inexpensive which is always an added bonus for the owners who want the best for their animal. Interested? Intrigued?
