Just a couple of updates:
1. If you're using FourLegExercise.com - they've put up my post-op cruciate templates! Yahoo!
2. If you're looking for a good motivational and educational book for networking as a way to grow your business (or expand your personal brand... i.e. smart for anyone, not just businesses), then read (or listen to): Never Eat Alone by Keith Ferrazzi (expanded & updated version).
4. Check out below for my next offering of my spine courses in the US - California! Make a vacation out of it!
5. I don't have any teaching booked for the rest of the summer. It feels as if I might be able to get caught up on a few things!
6. But I am now officially 'perpetually behind'... sorry to everyone wanting a reply from me via e-mail, text, phone, etc or just in need of this or that little thing. Adding a ranch to one's life makes life far more complicated than it was before!

Are you looking for a little bit of ammunition to help discuss weight loss with the owners of osteoarthritic dogs? Well, I found a fantastic blog that does just that!
I’m going to dive right in with some of the information:
Obese individuals have a 30.3% higher lifetime risk of symptomatic radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA) than people with a normal BMI according to Murphy et al (2008). Toivanen et al (2010) concluded that the risk for knee osteoarthritis was 7 times greater for people with BMI > 30 to the control group with a BMI < 25. As well, Gelber et al (1999) determined that each 8 kg increase
in weight as a young adult (aged 20-29 years) was associated with a 70% increase in risk of clinical knee OA more than 30 years later!

NEXT SERIES OF SPINE COURSES in the USA

I can't sugar coat this. You need manual therapy training. You need to be able to assess and treat the spine. It's imperative! Problems here can cause lameness and pain! You need this information!
AND... if you already have chiropractic training, you are eligible to take the Advanced Manual Therapy for the Canine Spine course. I've taught tons of veterinarians with chiro training and my Advanced course is a HUGE hit with that crowd! If you've never taken one of my manual therapy courses, start with the Basic course. Trust me, it's more advanced than anything you got in your basic training canine rehab training!

For over a year, I worked with Physiotec (an online exercise platform) to create a exercise prescription platform 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 they charge separately for it's use)... 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!
