Other champions, such as Blind Luck, a filly renowned for her stamina and longevity, and Unique Bella, whose speed and power made her a standout on the track, also benefited from Steve Bourmas’s innovative approach to laser therapy.

Laser therapy offers targeted, effective treatment for various equine conditions, providing relief in areas where traditional methods may fall short. Typical applications include managing tendonitis, healing wounds, and reducing inflammation from arthritis. Tendon injuries, a frequent issue for racehorses, can take months to heal fully. Laser therapy accelerates tissue repair and reduces recovery time. It’s also invaluable in treating back pain and sore muscles after intense training, improving flexibility and comfort. With the portable Phenom Laser, practitioners can conveniently administer treatments in the stable, reducing stress and enabling faster, non-invasive recovery for horses right where they’re most comfortable.
Unlike traditional laser therapy units that are difficult to transport, the Phenom Laser’s portability allows for seamless use in any location, including outdoor environments or stables. This flexibility is essential for treating equine athletes, as larger units often can’t be brought directly to the horse, making therapy inconvenient and less effective. The lightweight, handheld design ensures that the Phenom Laser can be used directly at the stable, providing efficient and immediate treatment without the need to relocate the horse or deal with cumbersome equipment.
Phos Medical’s expertise extends beyond human athletes to include some of the world’s most celebrated racehorses. The work with these equine champions has been pivotal in their success on the racetrack, helping them recover from injuries, maintain peak performance, and secure their places in racing history.
