The "Hock Helper" - Red / Near-Infrared Light Therapy Hock Wrap for Horses

Hock Helper

Red light & near-infrared light therapy for the hock and joint structures, in the form of a convenient rechargeable hock boot.

The hock is a high-load joint that plays a major role in propulsion, collection, and everyday movement.

Because of this, it’s a common area for:

• Stiffness
• Joint wear (as your horse ages)
• Chronic inflammation

The Hock Helper is designed to support your horse's hardworking hocks with consistent, targeted light therapy.

Where this fits

This boot is ideal:

• As part of a maintenance routine for horses in work
• To support joints experiencing stiffness or reduced mobility
• During rehab or recovery programs
• To support the healing of wounds

It can be applied to the hock or alternatively used on the knee.

Why light therapy

The Hock Helper uses a combination of:

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

Near-infrared wavelengths are able to reach deeper structures, making them especially useful for thick, bony areas like the hock.

Photobiomodulation (light therapy) is used to support:

• Circulation
• Inflammatory balance
• Cellular energy production

How it’s used

• 15-minute sessions (automatic timer)
• Can be used daily depending on your horse’s needs
• Suitable for use during rest (stall, cross ties, or in-hand)

Always supervise during use.

Design features

• Adjustable fit for a wide range of horses
• Designed to wrap the hock (can also be used on the knee)
• Red + near-infrared modes, with pulsing option
• Rechargeable battery (USB-C)
• Approx. 1 hour battery life (~4 sessions)

Important note

This is a therapy boot, not a protective 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.
