What's new?

Well... It's that nice little lull between busy times on the ranch. So, now is when I can ask for things to be fixed, redone, cleaned up... I have to be careful, because I can't guarantee a willing participant in these requests.

Garden is growing... the squash and zucchini seems to be slow however.

The clinic is busy. We count our blessings.

I did another required module to maintain my physio license... About se*ual abuse and se*ual misconduct. This was a government required module for all healthcare professionals Unsurprisingly, I passed. It really makes me wonder which profession doesn't understand boundaries with this stuff! (I googled it, and there is an answer regarding which medical professions receives the greatest number of these types of complaints.)

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

But first, a cartoon!

Behavioral and Cognitive Influences on Physical Rehabilitation Outcomes in Non-Ambulatory Canine Spinal Cord Injury Patients

A 2021 research article published in Frontiers in Veterinary Science by Stephanie A. Thomovsky and Niwako Ogata investigates the interplay between canine behavior, cognitive state, and the efficacy of physical rehabilitation (PR) in dogs with spinal cord injuries (SCIs) resulting in non-ambulatory status. This blog post synthesizes the study’s findings for veterinarians, rehabilitation specialists, and veterinary researchers, emphasizing the critical role of psychological factors in optimizing PR outcomes and drawing parallels with human rehabilitation practices.

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!
