Or jump onto the FORUM and ask your questions... Not on the Forum yet? Go and register!
Not a member yet? Why not?! Affordable & Expansive Learning to be had! What's new? Well, It is still crappy cold up here!!! Lows of -24C, Highs of -12C. Poor chickens have had to be locked up. I always feel so bad for them when they have to be locked up day in and out! This coming week, we are supposed to get to +10C. Hooray!
I hope all of my
American friends had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend! Food looked amazing from what I could see on Facebook! Xana was spayed last week. She's felt very sorry for herself since...
And, the server at my clinic crashed and some of the back-up documents with it. So, we have no schedules. We cannot see who is coming in and we can't book follow up appointments right now. Tomorrow is the deadline... either the Computer Doctors manage
to find the files we need on what's left of the hard-drive OR, we start rebuilding the schedule. Send your positive vibes and prayers! (I'll let you know next week how it turns out!) So...
That's it for the updates... On with the
show!

Four Leg BLOG: Reducing Cortisol with Manual Therapy
|
|
|
I came across another interesting paper recently.
Farrell G, Reily-Bell M, Chapple C, et al. Autonomic nervous system and endocrine system response to upper and lower cervical spine mobilization in
healthy male adults: a randomized crossover trial. J Man Manip Ther. 2023 Dec;31(6):421-434. The study took 20 healthy young adult males, and performed mobilization techniques on each of them with the following guidelines: “These techniques consisted of low frequency, mid-range, bilateral, and alternating oscillations of either the upper cervical spine (C0–1 and
C1–2) or lower cervical spine (C6–7 and C7-T1). Low frequencies have been associated with ANS processing and mobilizations can be performed within this frequency range. Therefore, a frequency of 3 Hz was selected for each mobilization. Each level was mobilized for three sets of two-minutes, separated by a 30-s rest period. All interventions were performed by the same operator, a certified musculoskeletal physiotherapist specialist with over 30 years clinical experience.” Participants were randomly assigned to group 1 (upper then lower cervical mobilization, n = 10) or group 2 (lower then upper cervical mobilization, n = 10), separated by a one-week washout period. The primary outcome measure was salivary cortisol (sCOR) concentration. Salivary cortisol (sCOR) measures represent a noninvasive, convenient, and reliable way to measure the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal-axis (HPA-axis) activity.

Have You Checked it Out?

For over a year, I worked with Physiotec/Wibbi (an online exercise platform) to create a exercise prescription platform for canine rehab practitioners. And this is it! I've put hundreds of exercises together onto this handy platform. You can find the exercises, print off a handout, send them a link to the VIDEOS of the exercises.
There's so much: Massage, owner-friendly joint therapies, exercises, advisement, etc, etc! NOW... be aware that this platform is run by / owned by Physiotec/Wibbi (and they charge separately for it's use)... and the support for the website is via physiotec/wibbi as well. The MAIN GLITCH I am finding now... is that when you e-mail or call tech-support you will NEED to LET THEM KNOW that your
question pertains to FOURLEGEXERCISE! (Otherwise, it's a bit of a schmozzle to get sorted, because they direct you to the Physiotec/Wibbi website vs FourLegExercise website!!!) Check it out and LET ME KNOW (what you think, your experiences, etc... so that I can report back if there are issues!) I hope you find it useful! Go there... Check it out!!!
