⚠️PSA: Shock Wave Therapy Should ONLY Be Performed By a Licensed Veterinarian

We've seen questions circulating lately about who can (and should) be running a shock wave machine on your horse, so let's clear this up.

❓Why does it matter? Shock wave therapy is a powerful tool but it's powerful for a reason. It can significantly reduce pain, which sounds great... until you realize that pain is often the horse's way of telling us "something is wrong here." Masking that pain without knowing why it's there can let an injury get worse without you or your horse knowing it.

🩺Why does it require a vet? A proper diagnosis comes first. Shock wave isn't a blanket fix for "soreness." It needs to be targeted to the actual problem, which means imaging, exam findings, and clinical judgment.

✅ It's a high-energy device that requires the right technique, depth, and settings for the tissue being treated.

✅ Horses are often sedated for the procedure which is a veterinary medical decision, not something to take lightly.

✅ Follow-up matters. A vet can tell you when it's safe to get back to work and when your horse needs more time.

🔹At PHD Veterinary Services, every treatment plan starts with a proper diagnosis because your horse deserves to be treated for what's actually going on, not just have the symptoms hidden.

🐴 HORSE OWNERS & COMPETITORS — WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

As BioStride continues to grow, we want to make sure we’re growing in the direction that actually benefits you and your horses.

We currently offer Cold Saltwater Hydrotherapy and Equiscope Microcurrent Therapy, but we’re looking at what may be next for BioStride, both in therapies and equine health and wellness products.

So instead of guessing, we’re asking YOU! 👇

💧 What therapies do you use most for your horses?
What have you personally seen the best results from?

🏆 When you attend a large horse show or event, what therapies do you wish were available onsite?
Recovery? Maintenance? Pre performance support? Post performance recovery? Injury support?

🐎 What is something you wish BioStride offered in addition to Cold Saltwater Hydrotherapy and Equiscope?

🛍️ What products would you actually purchase from us at an event or online for on our store (coming soon)?
We currently carry SUCCEED, but would you like to see us offer more selected equine health and wellness products?

Think:
• Digestive support
• Joint support
• Electrolytes & hydration
• Muscle recovery
• Hoof support
• Performance support
• Topical recovery products
• Other products you already use and love

And most importantly…

Where can BioStride help fill a need that isn’t being met right now?

We travel to some incredible equine events and work with horses across multiple disciplines. Our goal isn’t to offer something simply because it’s popular. We want to provide therapies and products that horse owners believe make a meaningful difference in the health, recovery, comfort and performance of their horses.

👇 Tell us in the comments!

What should BioStride add next?

And we have one more BIG question… 👀

As we look toward the future of BioStride, where would you like to see us grow?

🐴 More large events and shows across the country?
🚛 More mobile barn and farm availability?
🏡 Or a full-service equine recovery and rehabilitation facility here in Florida?

We have some exciting plans in the works for our facility, including expanding the level of recovery, rehabilitation and supportive care we can offer — with access to veterinary care and additional professional services.

But before we tell you everything we have planned, we want to hear from YOU.

If you could design the ideal equine recovery and rehabilitation facility, what would you want it to offer?

Tell us below 👇 Your answers may just help shape what comes next for BioStride. 💙🐴

Tag your horse friends too, we really want to hear from the equine community on this one. 💙🐴
