Relain for
furry Friends

Animals love the quiet sound of Relain. Even cats like it, as it sounds like a mother cat's gentle purring.

It often happens that the user has to give up their own Relain session to a furry friend who demands it for themselves.

Experiences with Relain
in Horse Care

"Johanna Väylä has provided exceptional care for our horses using expert manipulation techniques and the Relain deep treatment device, delivering outstanding results. I have yet to find comparable care anywhere else. My daughter's horse, Ubianca, was seriously ill. At the clinic, the joint received minimal medication, but no clear diagnosis explained the horse's stiffness. The physiotherapist recommended encouraging the horse to stretch out at a gallop, which was impossible. Ubianca was completely one-sided, could only take short strides, and was unable to rotate to the left. Frustrated, the horse even tried to bite the physiotherapist who was attempting to manually loosen the shoulder blades.

Johanna successfully treated the deep muscles of the back, releasing tension in layers and addressing pain points, restoring the horse's flexibility and balance. The Relain therapy device played a crucial role. The device's deep effect was invaluable. With each session, movement became easier, pain diminished, and the horse began to trust and respond positively during treatment. The back muscles grew stronger, the body became more flexible, and the mare regained her liveliness and joy. We received invaluable help from Johanna Väylä, bringing our horses back to life.

Holstein, brought to Finland from Estonia at age six, initially moved stiffly with a tense neck and back, reminding me of a camel. We saw some improvement as his topline lengthened and he moved better forward on the left, despite injuries like a scar on the lumbar spine - a "hole." With Johanna's treatment, the hole disappeared, the horse became significantly longer, and his movement softened thanks to improved back mobility. "Camel" became a wonderful horse that moved happily!

I am truly amazed and deeply grateful for everything".

Saaga’s recovery story

“Our Saxon Pomeranian, Saaga, initially suffered severe injuries after being struck by a large tractor. She sustained an open fracture of the hock on her left hind leg, with multiple small bones and two toes broken. It appears Saaga’s tail got caught, causing her to roll under the tractor.

Additionally, she had deep fractures in the pelvis and abdominal cavity, which were not surgically treated. The first operation addressed a deep stomach wound, with no internal or peritoneal damage found.

The leg surgery was extensive and fortunately performed by the only available veterinarian in North Karelia, Finland, at the time. The leg was stabilized with a brace and nine screws. The skin on the opposite side was carefully opened and treated similarly to a human leg wound to maximize skin use for supporting the brace and screws.

The operation went as well as could be expected at this stage. However, three days later, Saaga experienced significant pain due to a displaced fracture in her right hip. This required a second surgery to fix the hip to the pelvis with support screws, marking her third operation within a week.

I received the Relain device from Minna Kurvinen immediately after the first operation. Due to severe swelling, we administered 4–6 treatments daily. Saaga responded well and tolerated the treatments comfortably, often becoming more relaxed during sessions.

Just as the worst swelling began to subside, the second hip surgery took place. The veterinarian initially suspected no tendon injuries, though nerve recovery remained uncertain; Saaga required strong support with a towel to urinate.

We kept her confined in a small cage — about one meter by half a meter — for two months due to hip immobility. Despite this, Saaga quickly began crawling, sitting up, and changing positions independently.

The swelling reduced remarkably fast, and I believe the Relain treatments played a significant role. I continued treatments three times daily. As her condition improved and daily care demands increased, the treatments were gradually phased out.

The vet did not comment specifically on the Relain treatments but was pleased to see the wounds healing promptly. One particularly difficult aspect was that Saaga’s tail was removed during surgery because it was hanging loosely and suspected to be nonviable — less than a week after the accident.

Over time, however, Saaga’s tail stump moves back and forth normally, suggesting nerve function at the tail base remains intact. I treated the tail area extensively with the device; whether it has fully recovered is unknown, but the preserved innervation is encouraging.

Recovery was challenging, with setbacks like hip screws loosening due to Saaga’s movements. Keeping her completely still proved difficult. Last week, with veterinary approval, we even went jogging.

Although the bone alignment affects her gait, her overall recovery has been impressive. Relain treatment was especially helpful in the early stages, quickly reducing significant swelling in her leg after surgery. The more consistently we applied Relain, the faster the swelling subsided.”
