Human athletes use compression boots to aid circulation in the lower body post-exercise and during extended travel. Similar devices can be used as a therapy for individuals living with lymphedema. A team at NC State took this concept and developed a new product, the EQ Press, to address the same situations in horses. In this episode, we speak with one of the Founders of Vetletics, Dr. Lauren Schnabel, about a study performed on the EQ Press and exciting next steps for this technology.
