Capacitive and resistive electric transfer, or CRET is a treatment used on humans. This type of treatment helps people that have inflammatory issues or who suffer from degenerative orthopedic issues. CRET helps increase the temperature of the human tissues through long-wave radiofrequency.
CRET helps improve the quality of life and range of motion for people with such issues. In short, the long-wave radiofrequency helps people move easier.
Recently, research was conducted using horses. The horses were tested using a treadmill, and the CRET applied to several different areas on the horse, such as the neck and back.
The following day the horses were evaluated again. No negative effects were found, but researchers saw that the horse’s strides had lengthened and had reduced in frequency –the horses had a flowing, swinging gate as if they could move more effectively than the prior day.
Researchers are hopeful these treatments can help horses. These tests have shown the advantages of using CRET, although this is still in the research and testing phase. Further testing will be done on horses in various different disciplines to see if more beneficial results can be 
achieved.
This could help horses heal and restore range of motion. Many researchers have high hopes of this treatment being used to help horses in the future.
