You are receiving this e-blast because you signed up for these e-blasts on FourLeg.com. If for some reason, this makes you unhappy... then unsubscribe at the bottom. But for everyone else... HEY! Let's get on with the show! My knee is still fat, but improving!
Life update... - My knee is still swollen, but improving. I had one of my therapists look at it, and she thought it was coming from my patello-femoral joint. That's better than a supra-patellar bursitis. And the fact it's improving is a good sign.
(Oy, it's been almost 4 weeks now!)
- My youngest son won his most recent football game! It was in Canmore, Alberta (west of Calgary, near Banff) and the backdrop for the game was STUNNING! So next weekend we get to head to 'some small town in Southern Alberta' for the Tier 4 Southern Provincial championship game. (I can't believe that this is the last year I'll get to watch him play!)
And if they win that, then it's off to Provincials!
- And one of our freezers died!! I'm so lucky I caught it before everything was a stinking soggy mess! I managed to get everything in it divvied up into the other chest freezer & the freezer part in the second fridge we bought (for the friend that was living in the basement). But we need a second freezer pretty quick!
- This
past week two of the therapists that work with me at my clinic taught Class 1 (of 4) of our Senior Dog Class. It was a big hit! Super excited about that!
- CHECK OUT THE P.S. section for two educational opportunities!

That's it as a quick 'life in review'...
Now on to YOUR learning for this week! But first... |
Blog: Sickness Syndrome and Pain Management |
This case study will help to illustrate how the ill effects of unrelieved stress can lead to pain and medical issues.
Tania Costa, VT, CCRP, CMT, owner of Canine Wellness Centre, in Toronto, Canada had written this informative blog on Sickness Syndrome as it relates to Pain Management. The blog takes you through a case example of a sad dachshund.
It fits right in with our Pain Management series of
Training Videos!
THANKS TANIA! Enjoy everyone!

P.S. Are you looking for a unique educational opportunity? |
Then plan a trip to Calgary in January (21 & 22) and visit The Canine Fitness Centre, where we will be hosting Ilaria Borghese (of Thera-paw & the STAAR Conference), for her awesome 2-day course on Bracing, Splinting, Soft Orthoses... etc!
The Animal Rehab Division of the CPA is opening
this course up to non-members! But space is limited... so be sure to sign up ASAP!
BTW, this was one of the best courses I've ever taken. I have been waiting YEARS to bring it to Canada. So excited to have the opportunity to do so now! |

How about passing along my Massage 101 Course - How to Massage Your Own Dog?
The INFORMATION PAGE has 3 FREE videos (How to assess your dog for muscle pain). The MASSAGE 101 COURSE consists of 6 videos plus handouts for owners or your staff members to utilize.
And in November, my clinic puts it on SALE for $95.00.

P.S. Are you looking to include SHOCKWAVE in your practice? |
I have just the thing! I highly recommend the unit that I have and use at my clinic. And now, I can bring it to you!
And if you're interested, give me a shout and I'll happily send along all of the details. RADIAL SHOCKWAVE rules! I am loving it as an adjunct to my other therapies, and am seeing amazing results with it when used on osteoarthritis, tendinosis lesions, and lumbosacral disc disease. (There are more things it can treat, but these three things keep it hopping
at my clinic!)
The price is right (in Canadian Dollars), and I can ship anywhere in North America. (For those of you overseas, I can put you in touch with local distributors nearer to you!)
Okay... so check it out if you've ever been interested! |

P.S. Helpful Hints for NEW members... |
If you are new to FourLeg and happen to be having any issues with watching the videos, you will want to cut and paste the following url into your browser bar: http://www.fourleg.com Sometimes after people sign up on the secure page on FourLeg, their computer remembers the secure address for the website (https:), and takes them to the site via that prefix... but the rest of the pages aren't secured, only the sign up page... and if you go to watch the videos on
the https:... site, then it won't allow you to watch them. So going to the http:// version will make everything turn out okay!!!
As members, If you are wanting to search a topic... then locate the white
search bar in upper right hand side of the screen when you log in & are on the members' side of the site. This is an easy way to find content in all formats! |
