So I have found one of these at a really good deal just not sure if I really need one. What do you commonly use it for and when. How long does a treatment take. Any other information is appreciated . I just don't want to spend a large amount of money on something I don't really need

I don't use it as much as I should, but for any swelling lumps or bumps on legs, I game ready instead of cold hosing.
I use it for 30-45 min per session. It works great for strengthening tendons, or squeezing excess fluid out of bows.
When I was still running my horse with arthritis, I would use it on him after each run and after each ride to rid the inflammation. I found this would prolong the injections and prevent wind puffs from forming.
I have also sent mine down to my vets when I have had horses with injuries that would benefit, and my vet was impressed with the machine.
