Affordable & Expansive Learning to be had! What's new? Well, it snowed here! A big, wet, dump of snow! The kind that causes a sheltie to get all balled up with snow balls in her fur! It's heart-attack now (i.e. shovelling it causes overexertion and heart-attacks in some cases). All in all, I guess it signals that winter is really and truly here now.
However, on a happy note, I did have a fire in my fire place last night, and it was delightful!
I've got some cool stuff to share with you this week. New content that I've wanted to learn about for a while, a blog about home programs and a link to a survey (please fill it out), and my ramblings about Medial Patellar Luxations. So, that's it for the
updates... !! On with the show...

BLOG: What to include in a home program?
|
|
Home programs are an essential part of rehabilitation. Simply put, what happens ‘in clinic’ during a session is just a part of the benefit that rehab provides. What happens all of the rest of the
days of the week hold equal importance. So, what should your home program include? Naturally, exercises are an important part of the home program. It’s important to pick exercises that provide the best use of time and give you the ‘biggest bang for your buck’. Targeted exercises are likely more useful
than just walking. Not to say that walking is of no use, but just that targeted exercises might help a dog get better faster. Stretching also makes complete sense to add to a home program. So long as you are ensuring that the dog and owner are both in ‘agreement’ to the activity, then it’s a good thing to prescribe. In other words, if the dog is willing to be passively stretched, and the owner feels confident to do the stretching, then, great! However, if you are requesting that the owner has to pin their dog down in order to do the stretch, then perhaps come up with an activity that will accomplish the same thing. What else?

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!!!
