There's a glimmer of hop on the horizon!!!!
HEADING SOUTH to the www.staarconference.com in New
Jersey tomorrow! I'm excited to see lots of you fellow Rehab-enthusiasts there!! (And to see Tulips, buds on trees, green grass, etc!)
AND SNOW IS finally MELTING! Confession time: I walked my dogs for the first time yesterday since the middle of February. The snow has basically had us 'land locked' without anywhere to walk the dogs. And my dogs don't go to off-leash parks or
city walks. So they've just been in the yard and back to the house! But, finally some sunshine! Man did it feel good to get out and walk (for all of us)!
CALVING is almost done!
AS WELL, the CHICKEN in the SHOWER, is growing feathers quite nicely now. And she must be feeling happy and content because she's started laying eggs again! Shower
eggs! Awesome!

Okay, enough about me, onto YOUR learning for this week! |
BLOG: Blood Flow Restriction Training... Ever heard of it?!
|
|
This one is a bit whacky! I admit, I hadn't heard of this technique for building muscle... but I learned of it on a physio blog and podcast and dove in to learn more. MAYBE it has a canine rehab application! Read on to see what YOU think!!

For over a year now, I've been working with Physiotec (an online exercise platform) to create a prescription exercise website 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... and the support for the website is via physiotec 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 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!

P.S. Don't forget... PRODUCTS FOR YOUR LEARNING! |
Check out the Products (or Discounts) Page on FourLeg.com to get a nifty selection of learning materials. |
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...
1. If you are new to FourLeg and happen to be having issues with watching the videos,
you will want to cut and paste the following URL into your browser bar:
Sometimes after people sign up on the secure page on FourLeg, their computer remembers the secure address for
the website (i.e. https:// etc), and it takes them to the site with THAT prefix. The rest of the site isn't 'secured, only the sign up page. So, the website thinks you are trying to watch a video from unauthorized site.
2. As a member, if you want to search a particular topic, then find the little white
search bar on the upper right hand corner of the page (after you log in as a member). Type in your search and be given a full listing of content related to your search words!
3. And, if you have any issues, check out WWW.FOURLEG.COM/Help to address any FAQs regarding the website or membership difficulties!
