Happy Day-Late Father's Day!
 
To all of you guys out there, fathers to humans or fathers to furry creatures, Happy Belated Father's Day!  I hope you enjoyed your day!

Thank you to everyone that filled out the Survey on 'Recommended Rehab Products'.  I received 25 responses, and will compile them with my own 'well-loved-products' list and get that out to Members ASAP!  I'm going to aim for next week!

Update:  Got kid 2 sorted out with a new to him truck!  A client of mine had a 2003 Chevy Silverado.  Hooray!  Done looking.  Kid could afford the truck, and now he's taken care of in regards to transportation for summer and when he goes off to College in the fall. MAN! These almost adult and newly adult kids sure are taking up more time these days than they used to!  I might just be looking forward to September when they are both gone off to their post-secondary places of education!

Onto YOUR learning for this week!

But first, a cartoon!
 
Blog: The Old, Fat, Black, or Hairy!
Fat Black Dog
This blog is a 'reused' blog.  I wrote this as my clinic blog this past week because I am having soooo many conversations with clients about their dogs lethargy and unwillingness to go for walks etc.  These are healthy dogs... but the owners are beside themselves with worry.  Have a read... and please feel free to send me your feedback (or share the post if you like it).

 
Enjoy the Read!

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!  

Check out this page:  http://fourleg.com/Shockwave   for more information.

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!

And check out www.fourleg.com/Help to address any FAQ regarding website or membership difficulties.
