What's new?

Thank you to those that provided suggestions for documentaries to watch! I had Saturday evening to myself and thought I would hop onto Netflix and then Amazon to select a movie. Ugh... Nothing much of interest there! So, keep the suggestions coming. Rumble seems to be a good source of uncensored content.

Thank you to Annette for reminding me about the Mulligan fibula mobilization technique. OMG! My ankle feels to be finally on the mend! I did the mobilization several times early on last week, and got plenty of clicks and shifts. Now, I don't get anything when I try it, but my ankle feels so much better, swelling is down, I can start to strengthen my calf muscles with out swelling and pain. It's been a game changer! I had forgotten about this technique - it's been almost 30 years since I took his course, and dogs don't end up with twisted ankles, so this technique had vanished from my brain space. AMAZING! Thank you again!

And other than that! I need to get out into nature. Too much time on the computer these days!

So...
That's it for the updates... On with the show!

But first, a cartoon!

Four Leg BLOG:

Mental Stimulation During Rehab & Recovery

This week I received an email question that, after answering, I thought, “This would actually make a fantastic blog!”

The question, in a nutshell, was “What would you suggest to help a young active dog recovering from elbow arthroscopy who is lacking in mental stimulation at this stage of her rehab (and going a bit loopy as a result)?” This is a big paraphrasing of the longer original question… but essentially the dog has some basic obedience training and Rally-obedience knowledge, which will come in handy to help mitigate this situation.

Have You Checked it Out?

The most comprehensive online exercise prescription platform... FOURLEGEXERCISE.COM

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!!!

Have a great week everyone!

Until next time... Cheers!
