What's new?
Well, last week was a wash. I'll admit, I cried a lot. It was my previous business partner's last day, and it hit me hard. So, I'm working to pull out of the funk and look to the future... but there are so many memories!
Puppy is growing like a weed! I can't keep up with mowing the grass! The gardens and flower beds look fabulous!
And I am officially speaking at the IAVRPT Conference in England in August. I look forward to seeing everyone! This will be my first international travel / teaching in two and a half years! So, now I have MORE work to do to be ready to deliver a fabulous talk (and an interesting debate!)
So, I'll leave it at that for now! I had better get busy!
So, that's it for the updates... On with the show!!

MECHANOTHERAPY FOR MUSCLE INJURY
|
|
|
We all know that massage can feel very good and can have a stress-relieving benefit as well. One research study has gone further to evaluate the effects of a mechanical massage device on injured tissue. Their results were fascinating.
Researchers at Harvard's Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering and John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) created a customized robotic system that was capable of delivering dialable, precise, compressive force to mice’s leg muscles. The rationale for the robotic device was to be
able to deliver a mechanical stimulus in a systematic, reproducible way. (And let’s not forget that the researchers ARE at an engineering school.)
So they applied a consistent, repeated force to the injured mouse muscles for 14 days, and compared treated and untreated muscles. Both groups demonstrated a reduction in the amount of damaged muscle fibers, however, the reduction was more pronounced and the cross-sectional area of the fibers was laser in the treated
muscles. The greater the force applied during treatment, the stronger the injured muscles became.
How?

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!
