Flexor Tendon - Thoracic Limb

Duration
18 min

When to reach for it

front-limb flexor tendon strain, bowed tendon, tendon rehabilitation

About this program

The bowed tendon is the sport horse's oldest enemy: the front flexor tendons carry enormous spring-loads, and one over-stretch can cost a year. What decides the outcome is rarely the injury — it is the quality of the rehabilitation.

Consider this program when:

  • a front-limb flexor tendon injury has been diagnosed and staged
  • the veterinary plan has moved past the acute phase
  • the long months of controlled work need daily structure
  • an old bow needs care through a working season

Regular use through the plan, from box rest to full work — with re-imaging, not appearance, setting each step up.
