Blog - Education Pre-Surgery!
And Four Leg content regarding CATS again!!
The life updates:
Goodness! Life is back to feeling a bit crazy! Our new puppy arrived on Thursday night. Novi (it means 'new') is a whirlwind of activity and sassiness! I'm thinking I was crazy to take this on now! Oh well, we're in it now! She's sleeping pretty good through the night. One night she made it all the way through. The other nights have been 5:30 or 6:30am wake-ups to go potty, but then she'll go back into her crate
until 7:40. So, I suppose I can't complain too much. She likes the Borzoi and the Borzoi likes her... they are still a bit cautious of each other, but they are figuring out how to play now and then. The other shelties ignore her.
I feel like there's not much more to report! Meetings with the Animal Rehab Division (in Canada), meetings for political rights to practice in two Canadian provinces, e-mails & paperwork for the darned pipeline going through our land, and date-night included helping my husband put a new motor in our UWT. I'm a barrel of fun these days!
Ah well, on with the show!
Still asking for support!

I NEED LETTERS OF SUPPORT (mainly from Veterinarians, but I'll take any and all of them)!
To be considered a subject matter expert, I am looking for letters that cover topics such as:
- Laurie Edge-Hughes taught me safe & effective use of modalities (such as laser, shockwave, etc.)
- Laurie taught me effective physical assessment skills and how to use clinical reasoning to make a PHYSICAL / Pathofunctional / FUNCTIONAL diagnosis
- Laurie taught me how to plan treatments for rehab cases
- Laurie taught me manual therapy skills
You get the gist.
I am looking for DOZENS of letters. Please! Please! Thank you to those that already sent one. I appreciate it so very much. (Send to Laurie@FourLeg.com)
Thank you in advance for considering my request!

Blog:
Education Pre-Surgery!

This blog topic is education in two ways. Firstly, educating your clients PRIOR to surgery about what to expect post operatively may have an impact on the function / outcome of the dogs post-operatively. Secondly, here is something that you can do or include on your website or other platform as a marketing tool for your clinic or rehab services. Let’s dive in!
I was alerted to a paper from a human blog.
Louw, A., Rico, D., Langerwerf, L., Maiers, N., Diener, I. & Cox, T., 2020, ‘Preoperative pain neuroscience education for shoulder surgery: A case series’, South African Journal of Physiotherapy 76(1), a1417. https://doi.org/ 10.4102/sajp.v76i1.1417.
Here are some key takeaways:

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!
