Northeast EquiWellness IllumiBoot - Red / Near-Infrared Light Therapy Leg Wrap for Horses

Lower limbs take on a significant amount of strain in everyday work.

Tendons, ligaments, and supporting structures are under constant load, especially in horses that are in regular training, recovering from injury, or prone to swelling and stiffness.

The Illumiboot by Northeast EquiWellness is designed to support these structures with a powerful duo of red and near-infrared light therapy.

Use Cases

This boot is commonly used:

• As part of a rehab or maintenance program
• To support circulation in horses prone to swelling (also known as "stocking up")
• Before or after work to encourage tissue readiness and recovery

It can be used for a short session while grooming or tacking up, or as a standalone treatment.

What makes the Illumiboot stand out

The Illumiboot uses a combination of:

• Red light (660nm) for superficial tissue
• Near-infrared light (850nm) for deeper penetration

Near-infrared wavelengths are able to reach beyond the surface layers, making them particularly useful for structures like:

• Tendons
• Ligaments
• Joints

Photobiomodulation is known to support:

• Circulation
• Inflammatory balance
• Cellular repair processes

What we’re aiming to support

This boot is not a replacement for veterinary care.

It is a powerful and supportive tool that can be used alongside an existing program to:

• Enhance circulation in the lower limb
• Manage fluid buildup
• Support tissue repair and recovery over time

Important note

This is a therapy boot, not a protective or turnout boot.

It is not designed to be worn during exercise.
Use while the horse is tied, held, or in a stall, and supervise at all times.
