☔️ With the recent drop in temperatures and the large amount of rain we’ve experienced, it’s common to start seeing a few seasonal health issues appear in both people and animals. Many of these problems are predictable and, in many cases, largely preventable with a little extra care and awareness. Below are three common issues that often arise during these conditions—and the good news is that PEMF therapy can be a valuable tool to help support recovery, reduce discomfort, and keep both you and your animals feeling and functioning at your best.
1️⃣ Foot abscesses (I’ve already treated 5 over last few weeks)
When very dry, brittle hooves are suddenly exposed to moisture, the hoof softens and becomes more vulnerable. This creates the perfect opportunity for bacteria to enter, which can quickly lead to a painful abscess.
👉 PEMF Therapy is a great way to help burst or move the abscess all by encouraging blood flow.

2️⃣ Damp hay & respiratory flare-ups
Hay stored outside in hay huts or feeding rings that becomes damp can easily develop mould. Even hay that appears mostly fine may still contain enough mould spores to trigger coughing, respiratory infections, or breathing difficulties in susceptible horses.
👉 Along side veterinary help PEMF can help with respiratory flare-ups. 
3️⃣ Rain, humidity & arthritis (in both humans and animals)
Changes in weather—especially increased humidity and damp conditions—can make arthritis symptoms more noticeable in both people and animals. Arthritis affects the joints, causing inflammation, pain, stiffness and reduced mobility. Whether it’s osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, the underlying issue is joint damage.
• Reducing inflammation – Chronic joint inflammation is common with arthritis, and PEMF therapy may help lower inflammatory responses.
• Improving oxygen flow – Better circulation means more oxygen and nutrients reach affected tissues, supporting healing and reducing discomfort.
• Supporting joint function – By encouraging cellular repair, PEMF therapy may help improve joint mobility and reduce stiffness.
A bit of extra attention after periods of rain can prevent a lot of unnecessary problems later on.
