Studies into the effect of BIOCRYSTAL®

Born in Zagreb in 1965, where she graduated from the middle-level veterinary school, after which she took a degree at the Veterinary University in 1992. She then worked in a small animal practice, where she also collaborated with a nutritionist for dogs and cats, until 2007. During this time, she continued to gain further qualifications by attending

28 specialist seminars before establishing the ‘Equus vitalis’ Rehabilitation Centre in 2007 and has since dedicated herself entirely to rehabilitation work with pets and horses.

One of her priorities besides her actual work with animals is to continue to educate owners. She continuous to lecture in Croatia, Slovenia and Serbia and has published around 30 veterinary articles in the most popular specialist journals in these countries. She is a regular expert contributor to the ‘Konji’ horse magazine and the Association for Therapeutic Riding.

 

Experiences with PetPads™:

“I have used and tested BIOCRYSTAL® PetPads™ on many animals in my practice. All dogs on which we used these products for seven days showed significant improvements in regard to energy, mobility and their general well-being. The positive change in the behaviour of dogs with mobility problems was particularly evident – and led to an improvement in the quality of life for these animals.”

 

Experiences with EquiPads™:

Der Test dauerte 14 Tage und wurde an einer 17 Jahre alten Anglo-Araber Stute durchgeführt. Die Stute leidet zeitweise an Rückenschmerzen, was auch während der Testdauer der Fall war. Die Rückenschmerzen im Lenden- und Schulterbereich mit beidseitig gleicher Intensität, mit hervorgehobenem Muskelspasmus, wurden durch klinische Untersuchung nachgewiesen.

The test lasted 14 days and was conducted on a 17-year-old Anglo-Arabian mare. The mare suffers at times from back pain, which was also the case during the test period. A clinical examination showed that the mare was suffering from back pain in the lumbar and shoulder area that was equally intense on both sides and that was accompanied by prominent muscle spasms.

In addition to the clinical examination, images were taken with a thermal imager before the BIOCRYSTAL® EquiCrystal Pad was used and then again after one, six and 12 hours of treatment with the BIOCRYSTAL® EquiCrystal Pad. The images revealed a slight increase in the temperature immediately adjacent to the inflamed area with no effect on the surrounding healthy muscle tissue.

After seven days of use for 12 hours a day, a clinical examination showed that the muscle spasm was considerably less and that the pain intensity had been reduced by around 30%.

After 14 days of daily use for 12 hours a day, the intensity of pain had dropped by a total of around 60%.


Statement

The horse ailments that vets are most frequently asked to treat are problems experienced during the warming-up phase, stiff movements at the beginning of training, poor flexibility on one side or the refusal or impossibility of individual exercises and manoeuvres while riding. The corresponding rehabilitation work includes massages, accupressure, laser, therapeutic ultrasound, electromagnets, stretching and exercises as well as special training when required.

These treatments are usually carried out at intervals of 10 to 15 days because that’s when the body’s self-healing processes commence after blockages have been cleared.

BIOCRYSTAL is a great help and support particularly during this phase of rehabilitation (and healing process). Thanks to the harmonising effect of the employed mixture of crystals, the body is stimulated and supplied with additional energy to facilitate the process of healing and to achieve maximum treatment results.

It is recommended that BIOCRYSTAL continue to be used preventively / even after successful treatment.
