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!
 
I'm holding onto my shorts with my whirlwind of traveling these day!
 
I am living in my compression socks these days!! This past weekend I was in Toronto for a wedding (my husband's cousin).  Fabulous family time (and I really quite enjoy my husband's side of the family).

And tomorrow... Hubby and I head out to Brazil for some sunshine, relaxation, & teaching!

Fun story... because every parent wants to hear things like this:  My youngest son announced to me on our last phone call.  "Thanks for the good genetics Mom!  It turns out I'm an awesome dancer!  I'm just burning it up the dance floor!  I never knew I was this good. We didn't really do any dancing when I was in high school. And I know I didn't get that from Dad!  So, thanks Mom!"  Aww, warm and fuzzy mother-son moment!
​​​​​​​
But enough about me, onto YOUR learning for this week!

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.
