What's new?
1. This week I listened to a fabulous Audiobook, Neurofitness: A Brain Surgeon's Secrets to Boost Performance & Unleash Creativity. by Rahul Jandial. I love books that teach you something while telling stories. This is one of those books. My top take-aways?
- Learn another language just incase you need brain surgery... because that way you'll have better chances for full recovery.
- The Alzheimer's diet, anti-cancer diet, heart health diet... are all the same (basically, more vegetables and fruits, fish, chicken, and less red meat.
- There is no such thing as 'right brained' and 'left brained'... this is a fallacy propagated by a study done in the 60's. Artists and Mathematicians use both sides of their brains equally.
- Social media might actually help older brains and prevent deterioration.
- Allow your kids to get bored and run free to build creativity.
- Some drugs / stimulants might help your brain... others are just dumb drugs.
- Meditate.
- Exercise.

I came across an interesting ‘human’ blog: 5 Rules for Exercising People in Pain
https://www.themanualtherapist.com/2021/02/top-5-fridays-5-rules-for-exercising.html
Here’s the first line,
“A big misconception within the therapy world is that all exercises should be pain free. It is easy to assume that when an exercise is painful, you might be causing further damage or disrupting the healing process. However, that is almost never the case, especially with lower loaded interventions.”
The article goes on to note that pain and damage are not highly correlated and that pain is not a predictable indicator of any underlying mechanism for its presence. However, the article is quick to note that as clinicians we should not be promoting the “No pain, No gain” concept. Rather some rules of thumb to guide the recovery process.

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!
