Weather update… it's still white and snowing! That's now 12 days into Spring and Spring is nowhere near!  Arghhh!  

So this week, I have grouped for you a training video & a blog that pertain to ribs!  I see so many rib problems in dogs, it's crazy… causing front leg lameness, excessive stretching, stiffness, or poor performance.  You simply have to look for rib troubles…and you'll be surprised at how many issues you find!!  So here we go...

Training Video: Assessing for Rib Dysfunctions

This video provides you the essentials in order to assess for rib joint dysfunctions.  And you might be happy to know that this week's training video is nice and short.  The last few weeks have been endurance videos.  So, with this nice short video… you can have extra time to go back and finish watching one of the last 3 super long ones!  Anyways… enjoy!



Watch the video!
Blog:  Rib or Disc?
This is a short little question and answer blog that talks about deductive reasoning and applying a clinical trial to determine whether you are dealing with bilateral rib one dysfunctions or a C7-T1 disc!

AND… I am continuing to request your stories and advice!
1)  Do you have a story of failure that you learned from?
2)  Do you have a manual therapy technique (massage, myofascial release, mobilization, stretching, manual muscle activation, etc) that you love and would like to share?

I'm looking to fill a newsletter each with YOUR stories / suggestions!  So… please get back to me!  (Laurie@FourLeg.com)

AND… at the end of this week, I'm going to let FourLeg Members know about an upcoming Webinar!  I have permission from the Animal Rehab Division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association to let you know about an upcoming Webinar Course they are hosting… but registration has JUST opened for their members, and they will get 'first crack' at registration!  So… keep your 'eyes peeled' for that announcement (to learn all about Agility)!  
Talk to you later!
Cheers!
