Extreme Veteran Posts: 599	My personal belief with a DDFT injury - and I’m in the minority but I respect everybody else’s beliefs so please don’t think I’m bashing - is that while a lot of these alternative therapies don’t hurt, they don’t help. I followed my vet’s recommended schedule of stall rest, hand walking, and under saddle. It was long and tedious but I truly believe that’s what this injury needs. I don’t think magnets will speed it up any. Certainly won’t hurt!! BOT I wouldn’t even chance because of the heat (but I love it for my wrists when they ache!). I do own BOT and PHT.....but this is just how I feel on a DDFT injury. Best of luck to your horse!!!!!!

A Somebody to Everybody Posts: 41354 Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas	The Pht will help with circulation of the blood for a faster healing, I used the PHT bell boots when my gelding was foundering and they helped a ton. Edited by Southtxponygirl 2018-01-02 4:16 PM
