Tuesday 03 February 2009
Equitherm - Equine Infrared thermography has evolved and proved to be a valuable tool in the diagnosis and prognosis of the injured Equine as well as an evaluating tool for many product manufacturers within the equine industry.
As a specialist market it is crucial that anyone handling an infrared camera relating to Equine thermography is trained in environmental conditions affecting Thermography, horse handing, equine anatomy and physiology, Thermoregulation, the basics of Infrared and protocols and procedures ensuring accurate data and client confidentiality.
Equitherm. the premier Equine Thermographic Training and Imagining consultants, is one such company that has linked up with experts in the field of veterinary medicine, Equine performance research and infrared thermography to develop a progressive training programme designed to provide the equine specialist with the skills needed to perform thermographic examinations and has effectively developed procedures in the prevention, treatment and recovery of the equine.
Equitherm’s Director of Training and Development, Sandie Chambers, has spent her entire career in fitness and equestrian sports and has built up an impressive record for achieving excellent standards and results with both equine and rider.
"When I discovered how effective infrared thermography was in identifying trauma and stress in the horse, it was like finding gold. With equine thermography we can protect our horses from breaking down, we can identify injury up to three weeks before the horse becomes clinically lame, therefore we can prevent further trauma, injury and stress to the animal. It is a brilliant tool for all equine practitioners especially vets, physiotherapists, trainers, breeders, farriers, saddle fitters and many other important sectors of the Equine industry” commented Sandie.
Committed to assisting further the sport with medal winning success in mind Equitherm will not only be investing into the Business Partnership but also working alongside the performance team offering resource and expertise. “We had the pleasure of providing diagnostic support to a number of the Olympic Teams during 2008 introducing them to the quality of Flir cameras and the benefits of infrared imaging. We are now looking forward to being an integral part of the British Teams support network and assisting in any way we can” Sandie said further.
“We are delighted that Equitherm have joined the BSJA Business Partnership and we look forward to working alongside both Sandie and her team. The resource, knowledge and expertise within their field along with their professional approach to the value thermography can bring in ensuring peak fitness is one from which we can only benefit” said Maria Clayton, Head of Communications.
