A common problem in (sport) horses is tendon injuries, strains to ligaments or ligaments. It is important to signal early that something is not quite right about the tendons or ligaments in order to limit the damage as much as possible. Proper treatment and management will lead to a better recovery.
After examination and diagnosis by your vet, you have the acute phase in which often box rest, cold spraying of the injury, walking and whether anti-inflammatories / painkillers are prescribed. Depending on the type of injury, a follow-up plan is made.
Many treatments are now possible, such as PRP injections, shockwave, stem cell therapy, special hoof fittings and laser therapy. It is important to stimulate the blood flow to the tendons for the supply of new building materials to stimulate the recovery of the tendons. A good supplement can offer your horse or pony the right building blocks to support the recovery during rehabilitation as well as possible.
In the event of a tendon injury or strain, the challenge is to optimize the formation of scar tissue (new connective tissue) and to regain the “strength and elasticity” properties.

TendiFlex can also be used to minimize the risk of relapse. In addition, TendiFlex also has a powerful effect to prevent cartilage breakdown such as osteoarthritis.
