Well, it was bound to happen. I finally caught a cold! Typical! Sleeping has been troublesome because I wake up thinking I've got kittens in my bed! It's just my end of exhale wheeze and it wakes me up! So, I'm trying to lay low and get rid of this thing!

OKAY, so let's get onto your learning for the week...
BLOG:
Joint Capsule Tightness...

This blog is a two-part inspiration! Firstly, I had a canine patient recently. He’s a Canadian Champion in Field Trialing. He’s amazingly fit. I call him Mr. Hard Body. His muscling is enviable! However, he has some carpal arthritis, and at 9 years of age, his owners are noticing that now and then he’ll favour a front leg. So, on one of his previous visits, I prescribed carpal traction as a home therapy. Traction in extension and
flexion in two different direction. Check out this little FB video to see one version of traction: https://www.facebook.com/caninefitnesscentre/videos/2718022424958018/
On his most recent visit, I was delighted to find his carpal flexion had improved and he was less uncomfortable at end range. Hooray! Well, that ties in to a video blog I watched recently as well. How to get end range knee extension after surgery. It’s a great discussion and really valuable to watch for the thought-processing alone (even if you don’t treat humans.)

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!
