Affordable & Expansive Learning to be had!
What's new?
Well, the Calgary Stampede is 'on' (aka Super Spreader Stampede). I have done an informal poll of my clients over the last 3 weeks and nobody says they're going. Now that being said, my youngest son & his girlfriend are there today! Oi! (From what I've seen on the TV it is much, much less populated than years gone by... AND both of them are double vaccinated - so I guess it will be an experiment!!!)
I finished listening to an EXCELLENT audio book. It's called A Knock On The Door - The Essential History of Residential Schools from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. I would highly recommend it to any and all Canadians... Any Americans too... Or any person residing in or from of a colonial country for that matter. A friend had posted a FB meme that sort of sums things up. History
is not there for you to like or dislike. It is there for you to learn from it. Anyways, excellent book.
As well, it's the time of year where perennial plants go on sale! I'm a sucker for plants... so I tend to buy when I shouldn't be planting! Oh well... it's always a gamble when it comes to planting plants in my part of the world, so I might as well get them on sale and see what happens!
And as always, I am grateful to everyone sticking with me and enjoying the new FourLeg format and look! It really is the best bang for your buck in regards to a continuing learning resource.
So, that's it for the updates... On with the show!!

Handheld Percussive Massage Therapy
|

|
By Jen McNutt, BSc., MScPT, CGIMS, Diploma of Canine Rehabilitation, CHT
It seems there are new massage tools popping up on the market almost daily. It can feel hard to keep up on what is available; however, I can guarantee some of our clients know the latest and greatest and will be asking about them.
One of the newer and, it seems, more popular tools available are handheld percussive massage tools. These are those handheld guns that use targeted vibration to massage muscle tissue. I have had several clients from the human and animal side of my practices ask about these tools. In response, I figured it was time to look to the research to be able to give better recommendations around what to look for when purchasing, how to
use them, what they are effective for and if there are any precautions

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!
