Blog - Reversing Osteoarthritis
And Four Leg Info on Osteoarthritis!
The life updates:
I'm still working. In fact, I never stopped. I'm happy with the measures we implemented early on, everyone has stayed healthy, and people are bringing their dogs in like crazy! I feel fortunate!
Mother's day was good! Peter and the boys made my mother and I brunch - Eggs Benedict, sausage, bacon, cheese, and berries. I got flowers and chickens! Fabulous all around.
But I have to confess, the I am not keeping up with all of the questions or requests that are coming in to me. Because I am working more at the clinic, and calving season, and Covid-crap, and some drama with the oldest son (which I think should be sorting out soon), I am simple out of time to answer questions or 'do more'. My apologies to those who are waiting for answers or wondering why I won't answer them. It's not a matter of won't, it's a matter of 'can't find time in my
schedule right now'. Please forgive me... I'm busting my buns in too many directions! (And it makes for uneven buns!)
Alright, so enough about me...

Reversing Osteoarthritis

Not too long ago, I received a request from a medical journal editor asking if I would like to contribute an article on the topic of ‘Can Osteoarthritis be Reversed?’. Now, before you get excited thinking that I might be an expert on that topic – I’m not – or that I have a protocol to make this happen – I don’t – it simply made me ponder the question! CAN osteoarthritis be reversed?

I've put all of my exercises (and some of yours) onto a handy platform - Physiotec! It's a wonderful online resource for delivering home exercise / advice programs.
There are HUNDREDS of exercises FOURLEGEXERCISE.COM already! 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 / billed for separately, 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!
