The life updates:
I'm still working. I have one therapist return to work this week and perhaps another one in this week coming up. This is great news because the clinic is busy! I'm feeling very fortunate about that!
Calving season is winding down. As I type this, there are only 2 cows left to calve (out of about 450 in total.)
So far I'm not successful in planting a garden however!
Alrighty, so enough about me...

practice!

Blog:
Pressure Massage versus Eccentric Exercise in Achilles Tendinopathy
|
|
|
Here’s an interesting study that I listened to a review about.
https://www.themanualtherapist.com/2020/04/investigating-pressure-massage-vs.html
The Paper:
Stefansson SH, Brandsson S, Langberg H, Arnason A. Using Pressure Massage for Achilles Tendinopathy: A Single-Blind, Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing a Novel Treatment Versus an Eccentric Exercise Protocol. Orthop J Sports Med. 2019;7(3):2325967119834284.
The paper is free access, so I dug it up to learn more.
So, this group of researchers figured that pressure massage would reduce stiffness in the calf and have an impact on pain reduction and subsequent tendinopathy healing. Furthermore, they figured that the pressure massage technique would be as good as or equal to the current gold standard of eccentric exercise. Pressure massage is a treatment whereby pressure is applied to stiff and painful areas in the
calf muscles and held until the muscles relax.

Hip Dysplasia
Here's a controversial topic. Not does it exist, but rather can it be prevented? Can it be changes? I say, "sometimes" to both of those questions... with the right set of circumstances.

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!
