Horse treated for a bad leg injury with THOR Photobiomodulation

Posted on 22 June 2026 by Ian

We received these 2 videos (a Before and After) and this amazing story below from our THOR customer who was referred to treat a horse with a bad leg injury. She was considered a “last chance” horse meaning a veterinarian couldn’t help her and surgery was too risky. She had been unable to leave her stall for months. After our customer administered a couple of PBM treatments, the horse was trotting again… within 6 days! She is now being ridden again and won a recent competition.

Full story on the horse.

The condition was not neurological, it was due to two incidents of the horse being kicked by another horse. The second time that he was injured, he was kicked in the right shoulder and the right stifle and a few other places the vet was not aware of.

The injuries were severe enough to warrant surgery on the stifle however, they were unable to do any type of surgery due to the body condition of the horse and the severe muscle deterioration.

I started treating the horse via vet recommendation, two months after the most recent incident. I believe the initial incident was 2 to 4 months before this last injury. Essentially 4 to 6 months of the horse not being able to walk and being on stall rest.

The vet missed an abscess in the hamstring area – draining through an open wound in the stifle location. It was only found due to healing injuries inside to outside – thus, moving the abcess out of another injury site to a wound opening.

Via vet observing the abscess after it was located – I was able to close the wound after the abscess was drained and no concern of infection present (this is all within the time frame dates).

The horse went on to compete right away. This is a horse that ended up being listed for sale, not because of any injury or lameness associated with the initial injuries (she sells horses frequently). So, I do not know how the horse is doing at this time. I do know that he was sound enough to run barrels (horse event), and be ridden hard.

It should be noted, the horse did not undergo any type of surgery under the last owner.

Posted on 29 June 2020 by Ian

Owner Linda Bailey of Total You Health, winner of the Roanoke Regional Chamber of Commerce’s 2019 Small Business Award, did not let the pandemic stop her from delivering health to the community. In response to social distancing measures, Bailey made the decision to close her doors to human clients and take her healing equipment to the horse barn.

Total You Health has treated four horses for pain and inflammation by using their portable Photobiomodulation therapy unit with much success. Photobiomodulation, also known as “red light” therapy, is traditionally used on people in chronic pain, but this is also seen to relieve symptoms for depression, anxiety and other conditions.
