22.01.2022 The magic of Focussed Shockwave Therapy with non-union fractures!! https://www.instagram.com/p/B21lxETp8Zz/?igshid=y7o7isg4un3d

20.01.2022 The importance of the home exercise program!!!

13.01.2022 Physiotherpy is a great addition to an arthritis treatment plan! Veterinary physio Anna Wilson has been telling us more about this important treatment option: ..."It takes into account posture, muscle balance, gait and the dogs overall well being. We can address the tension, muscle wastage or restriction that occurs secondary to arthritis via controlled movement and massage. Some treatment will promote relaxation and even produce endorphins that can give that "happy feeling" as well as pain relieving benefits. Maintaining muscle mass and joint function, through strategically planned exercise is key and really helps to protect and support the disease joints. Make sure to also follow advice such as adapting lifestyle, home modification and managing your pets weight to get the best form your treatment plan." Have you tried physiotherapy with your dog?? We'd love you to share your experience and give a shout out to your amazing local physio centre! #ActAgainstArthritis

10.01.2022 MUST WATCH: A fantastic video helping you to recognise subtle lameness in your horse. From a survey of 506 horses where the owners had not recognised any form of lameness, 46% had a subtle lameness!

08.01.2022 High energy focused shock wave therapy accelerates bone healing A blinded, prospective, randomized canine clinical trial The results of this study support the use of shockwave as a means of accelerating acute bone healing in dogs.

07.01.2022 Just like in the human patient, physiotherapy intervention for muscle injuries results in a quicker recover time and a much stronger and more functional muscle than if left to heal on its own. Physio treatment can help to ensure the muscles fibres heal in the correct alignment, reducing scar tissue and hence creating a stronger muscle that is much less likely to be reinjured in the future.

06.01.2022 Shockwave has been proven to accelerate bone healing in both canine and equine patients! https://www.instagram.com/p/BvcTQCsHckL/

06.01.2022 Is your animal requiring joint injections more than twice per year? SHOCKWAVE is a great alternative!

05.01.2022 To achieve full #flexion you must achieve full #extension! Star employee @horsephysio_hallie is seen her performing an extension and flexion provocation test of... primarily the #lumbosacral region. This is a great assessment tool of the overall movement of the spine to direct #treatment. The equine patient has obvious movement in some regions and is quite rigid in other areas. It humours me in people and especially horses when people use the phrase ‘it’s out in the back’ or even worse ‘it’s out in the hip!!!’ Correct and accurate descriptions of back pain such as muscle #spasm, movement restriction, movement dysfunction, stiffness, asymmetry, arthritis, kissing spines, etc etc etc are great and should be used regularly, however, the only time something is ‘OUT’ is if it is fractured or dislocated or worse both!!! And trust me you would not need a second opinion to confirm it!!! Yes when you provide high velocity thrust to a joint/joints demonstrating stiffness you may hear a pop like sound which is nothing more than a gaseous release and has an immediate opioid effect and yes it feels good, and yes can assist in restoring range. This is NOT the #vertebrae being put back in!!! If you have a therapist that uses this terminology then get a new therapist! #physicaltherapy #education #back #pain See more

04.01.2022 The vast majority of ligament injuries respond really well to a course of controlled exercise, she says. The next thing I would go to is shock wave, and the third direction I would go to is regenerative medicine. - Dr Carrie Schlachter -

02.01.2022 HOW LONG DOES MY HORSE NEED TO REST IN-BETWEEN TRAINING? Apparently training every third day might be best! This Veterinary Study of the Week is ...more of a thought provoking piece of research. The aim of the study was to assess the speed a horse learns novel tasks when trained at different time intervals using negative reinforcement. Key findings suggest that: If you are repeatedly training your horse to do the same task every day, you could well be spending your time more productively. The research, by equine scientists from Germany and Australia, found that allowing horses breaks of two days between training sessions rather than training daily results in similar learning progress over a period of 28 days. The use of a training schedule may be a useful tool in optimising training a improving effectiveness. The RESULTS of the study suggest that horses do not forget what they have learned if they are trained every third day rather than daily. Allowing horses a break of two days between training sessions rather than training them daily not only results in similar learning progress, but is a more efficient use of the trainers’ and the horses’ time. While training every day is not necessarily a welfare concern, it is important to remember that the type of task trained is also relevant. If the horse is taught a strenuous physical task, they will need time out between training to allow their muscles to rest and repair. However... would these findings have been different if POSITIVE reinforcement was used? Would the required intervals in between training be smaller? See more
