Lets see... life in review.
I'm still working. One therapist returned to work last week after her travel & travel quarantine. That has lightened my load a bit at the clinic! Work has been very rewarding (in addition to exhausting). So many clients that are so thankful that we are there for their dogs!
Snow is melting (this weekend)... but it's been very up and down all April. And the baby calves are popping out like popcorn! About 400 cows to calve and we're about 1/2 way done. It's the highlight of my day to go cow checking with my hubby at the end of the day. (...with a gin and tonic.)

Neurodynamic techniques and jumping performance
|
|
|
I found a fascinating article that I think could be of relevance to our sporting dogs. I’m just going to put the abstract up here to start.
The immediate effect of neurodynamic techniques on jumping performance: A randomised double-blind study
Aksoy, Cihan C. | Kurt, Vedat | Okur, İsmail | Taspınar, Ferruh | Taspinar, Betül
Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation, vol. 33, no. 1, pp. 15-20, 2020
CONCLUSION: The neurodynamic techniques were found to provide an immediate increase in VJ performance. Neurodynamic techniques are generally used in patient populations to improve treatment outcomes. According to these study results, neurodynamic techniques can be safely used to provide an immediate increase in performances of individuals with no lower extremity problems.
So, firstly, what are they talking about? Neurodynamic techniques are ways to ‘stretch’ a nerve. However, from a more realistic perspective, they are more or less improving fascial restrictions along a nerve, enhancing axoplasmic flow (the streaming of cytoplasm along the nerve), and likely having a host of other mechanical and physiological effects...

In this NEWish section, I want to inspire you to GO BACK THROUGH some of the OLD Four Leg Education Modules!
MEDIAL SHOULDER HYPERMOBILITY
it's been long enough that all of the 'new stuff' that I posted on Medial Shoulder is actually sort of Archives. Still relevant. Still useful. However, perhaps not everyone is aware of this content. Check out FourLeg.com to learn more about MSI, medial shoulder instability, medial compartment syndrome, or my favourite - medial shoulder hypermobility.
Just hope onto FourLeg.com, and visit:

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!
