HORSE JOURNAL - December 2012 edition....

A client of mine subscribes to this journal and brought me this article to read....if you haven't seen it, it is published in this months HORSE JOURNAL. It's a great read and lists all the benefits of including cold-laser therapy in your horses' care regimen. Cold Laser Therapy is cutting-edge technology and using this therapeutic modality better assists us in having our equine athlete recover from the daily stresses of a intense training program, acute injuries or chronic aches and pains.

A little about Me....

  M.J. Pappin-Lamoureux, Kinesiologist/ HBK, BSc.

 

Born in Sudbury, Ontario and having the benefit of living in Chicago, Cleveland, Thunder Bay, St. Louis and Toronto making my way back to Northern Ontario getting married and raising a family has truly become full-circle for me personally and professionally. A love for horses was instilled at a young age spending quality father-daughter time at the racetrack. My father, Jim Pappin (a former NHL all-star and two time Stanley Cup Champion) and avid horse owner would spend his off season roaming the backstretch of any racetrack in North America and I would happily tag along for the ride. As a young child and through my teenage years I rode hunter/jumpers and well into university and adulthood this passion continues.

I have an Honour Kinesiology degree from Lakehead University and a Bachelor of Science from Logan Chiropractic. While I have spent most of my professional career in medical sales, the last four years have been dedicated to my children and to our race stable. My husband, Mike Lamoureux is a third generation horsemen and races standardbreds in Ontario.

With over 15 years experience around horses and my academic science background, I've combined this knowledge with opportunity and experience, treating our equine athletes with cold laser therapy which we have found to be an immeasurable asset in our race stable.

Keeping our equine athletes at top peak performance is always a challenge and the use of cold laser therapy for preventative, maintenance and rehabilitation programs has aided in that success of not only keeping our horses sound and pain-free but many, many trips to the Winner's Circle.

I treat all horses as if they were my own and only with the very best in Theralase Cold Laser Therapy technology. For more information about Cold Laser Therapy or to book a session for your equine athlete call PERFORMANCE HORSE COLD LASER THERAPY at 705.929.2589.

$25,400 Late Bloomer Series Winner....

Congratulations Stonebridge Brioso & Owner/Trainer Ernie Wehrberger!

 

Stonebridge Brioso's owners started using Performance Horse Cold Laser Therapy treatments in June of 2012. "Brioso" presented with a yearling stifle injury and the connections weren't even sure this colt would make it to the races. After several repetitive sessions of cold laser therapy they noted significant improvement in his gait and ability to continue training remaining sound.

Stonebridge Brioso has not only made it to the races in 2012, he took the Late Bloomer series Championship and after 9 starts this year the 4 year old, son of Western Ideal, tallies 3 firsts, 2 seconds and 3 thirds with a total of $21,050 in lifetime earnings to date.

Stonebridge Brioso continues maintenance sessions of cold laser therapy as part of his weekly training and care regimen.

Testimonial:

"Our Golden, Frazier, has a torn ACL. My husband and I went to the Vet who told us it will be $4000 to repair or we may have to put him down. This dog means the world to us, and of course, we were upset to hear that type of news.

We were on the phone to rehabilitation centers, Vets, you name it we were calling it. Coming up with $4000 on the spot was just not in the budget, and we were not getting a lot of help from any local vets.

My father recommended I contact the local OLG who deal with horses that have these types of issues. They got me in touch with Carmen, who led me to MJ. Complete strangers who opened their doors to us and offered us help. MJ started the Laser treatment on Frazier, which kept so much of the swelling down on his knee. When bringing him back to the Vet, they said he is doing incredible and keep up with what we are doing. Of course, once my husband and I can afford it, (from fundraising and other methods of saving), we will be able to get the surgery done next year, and continue the treatments with MJ.

I cannot thank her enough for helping our boy. We truly appreciate the kindness she has offered to us and her time. This is helping him cope with everyday living and is still wagging his tail and playing. I know he wouldn't be able to do without it."

Thank you Again, Truly.

$$$ Time IS Money $$$

*Muscle and tendon strains, joint sprains and wounds are common injuries in equine athletes. Equine tissue like human tissue is highly vulnerable to repetitive stress and can be career limiting for the athlete if not treated properly the first time.

When your equine athlete requires time off it can become costly. COLD LASER THERAPY can penetrate up to 4 inches into tissue through all the hair and skin of an equine athlete to promote cellular regeneration at the source of the injury. Laser energy helps to repair damaged cells by accelerating several of the body's natural healing mechanisms. Depending on the severity of the injury, the equine athlete can return to competition usually within a few weeks instead of many months of stall rest. This means that your equine athlete can be back to competing in a fraction of the time.

A sound and healthy horse is a HAPPY horse!

Therapeutic Laser Treatments provide clients with a safe, effective and painless therapy that uses the body's own natural healing systems to relieve pain, increase joint mobility, increase tissue integrity promote cell regeneration.

COLD LASER THERAPY works by supplying energy to the body in the form of billions of photons of light. The body absorbs the laser light on a cellular level and transforms it into chemical energy, which the body then uses to commence it's own tissue repairs. The biostimulating effect of cold laser therapy causes a decrease of inflammation and pain and promotes an increase in tissue regeneration and healing.
