Gary and racehorse
At 78, Gary DesRoches doesn’t mince words. The Vancouver, BC, horseman has pretty much seen it all when it comes to issues incapacitating horses at work and in training—having worked nearly 50 years in the Standardbred and Thoroughbred industries,. But even he wasn’t prepared for the quality of results he’s gotten with the EQUI-STIM LEG SAVER®.
Over 18 years ago, Gary transformed what had been introduced to him as a therapeutic alternative for treating injuries among the Vancouver Grizzlies NBA basketball team into a holistic healing option for equine athletes, one that has offered positive effects on an ever-increasing range of soundness and immune system issues, too.
Meet the EQUI-STIM LEG SAVER®, a holistic, multi-frequency system of equine therapy designed to treat most of the lameness and health issues that plague today’s horses. “It stimulates blood flow to the organs and attacks inflammation so it can be removed.”
It was a three year-old Thoroughbred called Kiss Me Goodbye, purchased by Gary and a partner at auction, that started him down a healing path of healing. The horse had a bowed tendon and, in an effort to help its recovery, he tried a tissue stimulator used by basketball players. The basis for the product was a fluctuating micro-current, using electro-gel and rubber electrodes.
As he began exploring longer treatment times with wider ranges of frequencies, he was introduced to the book, Veterinary Acupuncture: Ancient Art to Modern Medicine. Dr. Thoresen developed Ting-Zone Therapy as well as authoring Alternative & Complementary Veterinary Medicine. Waveform and Ting Point Therapy are two pillars in the foundation that make EQUI-STIM LEG SAVER® successful.
Ting points are acu-points, located on the coronary band above the hoof, where meridians to various organs begin. LEG SAVER waveform therapy focuses on Ting Points to maximize efficiency of delivery. When injury occurs, there is not only a decrease in bioactivity at the cellular level, but also a reduction of oxygen levels in the injured cells. The LEG SAVER stimulates bio-electric activity, which increases oxygen-rich blood flow to injured cells, moving toxins from, and nutrients to, those damaged cells. This removes inflammation without the adjunctive use of drugs or injections. EQUI-STIM LEG SAVER® TING POINT ELECTRO THERAPY offers fast and effective treatment by stimulating under-functioning organs or meridians to maximize a response to recovery.
