| Looking for advice on stifle therapy. Since Back on Track does not make a stifle wrap are there others out there? I've looked into magnets would appreciate advice on if they really work or not? Any homemade stifle wraps out there? I have thought about just purchasing BOT polo wraps and some how applying them to the stifle but havent tried it yet. Up for any suggestions and advice! |

| The PHT Stifle wraps work wonders. Obviously they won't fix bone chips or other serious stuff, but they do quite well for strains.

PHT has the stifle wraps, go to PHT website and go to the PHT Magnetics and look under the products they are the Magna Cu Stifle wraps.  |

Yes, I've used them on several horses. Went to vet for diagnosis and then used stifle wraps. Vet couldn't believe improvement in 2 weeks time. |

I have never had the need for Stifle wraps but I do have the PHT blanket and bell boots and do love them, the bells and blanket helped my gelding when he was so body sore when I finally found out what was going on with him, wont be without the PHT's I have now.. |

Thanks so much for replying. Happy to hear your horse is doing better.
How often do you use them? |

Location: MS | I couldn't keep the PHT stifle wraps on my horse. He figured out real quick that all he had to do was stretch out and they would slide off.
As soon as I turned my back he'd get them off.
Too bad because he needs them. Now I just keep sore no more on them. |

I usually use them now when we go to barrel races. Put them on before they get in the trailer.
For those having issues keeping them on, my friend and I rigged a deal where you tie the middle of the stifle wrap strap across the butt to a twine, which is then attached to their crown of the halter. Her horse has a flat butt on top and they'd slide off within minutes. She kept them on for 2 hours this way! |
