(27)

As a devoted dog owner and renowned canine rehabilitation practitioner, Tim Norris works with both dogs and their owners, sharing his approach to health, wellbeing and happiness – at ‘both ends of the lead’. At Both Ends of the Lead, we help older dogs and dogs with Arthritis live a longer, healthier and happier life. FOR DOGS

Areas Tim can help:

CANINE MUSCLE FUNCTION THERAPY/BOWEN THERAPY

We

all know how much our dogs enjoy being touched and petted as a form of affection and communication between ourselves and them. With Canine Massage and Bowen Therapy, Tim uses refined palpatory skills and a range of techniques to help relax tired muscles and relieve pain. This assists to increase circulation to injured or inflamed muscles and assists in restoring optimal movement, quality and flexibility. Massage can help:

Reduce pain and muscle tension
Improve muscular and joint mobility
Slow down the ageing process and reduce the effects of arthritis
Improve movement quality, leading to enhanced performance levels for agility and show dogs
Improve digestion
Enhance the elimination of toxins
Improve the assimilation of nutrients AND
Help your dog live a longer, happier life! REHABILITATION EXERCISE THERAPY

An exercise therapy program consisting of stretches, mobilisation techniques and strengthening exercises can be tailored to your dog if appropriate. LASER THERAPY AND LASER ACUPUNCTURE

Laser Acupuncture is a way of treating traditional acupuncture points with a laser beam instead of a needle. By treating in this way, dogs also benefit from the wide range of positive effects that low level laser therapy brings about. This type of treatment significantly increases the range of conditions that can benefit from this approach. Laser therapy can be particularly beneficial for unhealthy cells within the muscle tissue, meaning it can help reduce pain levels, enhance the repair of damaged ligaments and the healing of wounds. Low level laser therapy can also be an effective tool for pre and post operative conditions. ONNETSU HEAT THERAPY

Onnetsu heat therapy is a remarkable unique form of heat treatment from Japan, which has been proven to be very effective in degeneration conditions such as Arthritis. An important factor in maintaining good health is that our inner body temperature remains between 36.5-37 degrees. Any cells or tissues that are unhealthy or injured can become deprived of body heat. Often areas of illness and injury are colder than other parts of the body. Onnetsu heat therapy is applied to the cold or injured area to increase the inner body temperature and stimulate the diseased/injured cells to help the area recover health. Onnetsu heat therapy can help promote immune system function and balance the nervous system, as well as promote the flow of blood and lymph which can help lead to optimal health levels. Tim has achieved some sigificant positive outcomes using this form of treatment in a range of spinal and hip related issues. See Testimonials to read more about the benefits of Onnetsu heat therapy. Tim will happily tailor the most effective approach for your dog, and can combine different strategies and treatments to help your much loved pet achieve optimum health and wellbeing. QUALIFICATIONS

Tim is a qualified Canine Myofunctional Therapist with a Diploma in Animal Physiotherapy (UK), a Small Animal Bowen Therapy Practitioner, and a Member of the Small Animal & Equine Naturopathic Association. ONLINE 'LOVE MY DOG' PROGRAM

Little Monte the Cavoodle bounces back after knee surgery.

Monte had surgery on her knee early in the year, but several months later, she was still limping on the leg ...
.. and not recovering as planned.

So Monte had her first Physio, Laser and Gua-Sha treatment.

Then I showed her family the strength exercises and massaging techniques to help Monte get stronger and move better.

When I went back to see Monte this week, this is what her family said ...

"We couldn't believe the difference, within a couple of days of seeing you and working with the exercises, she's so much better.

She's putting much more weight through her leg, and her limp is pretty much gone"

It just goes to show, if you have the right strategy and the commitment to do what needs to be done for your dog ...
.. amazing things can happen.

06/06/2024

Poor Sadie didn't get off to the best start in life.

She came from a puppy farm and her family didn't realise she had Hip Dysplasia in both legs, they just thought she had a bit of a sassy walk.

Until one day their local Vet told them her hips were likely giving her pain and probably had been for most of her life.

So, I offered to see if I could help Sadie.

I started with a bit of Massage and Gua-Sha.

We could see her starting to relax and it wasn't long before she was asleep.

I then gave her some Acupuncture and Laser to help ease the soreness in her hips and lower back.

We all hoped it would help her.

This is what her family told me the next day ...

'It was amazing. Sadie is like a puppy again!
She has severe hip dysplasia in both legs and for the first time in a very long time she was able to jump up on my bed with me and we cuddled all night.
Thank you Tim, your treatment has definitely helped Sadie move better and relieved her pain.
She even did a zoomie before dinnertime!'

I then showed her family some simple Massage and Stretches they could do, to help Sadie keeping feeling and moving better.

Sadie is now going to be a model in some upcoming videos to help your older dog live the longest, happiest, pain-free life possible.

Mr Banjo is a very handsome 11-year-old Golden Retriever.

He has celebrity status in his suburb and everyone knows what a special, gentle boy he is.

Sadly for Banjo ...
.. over the last few weeks, he's started to slow down and find life a little harder.

He's looking stiff and sore ...

His Vet recommended he have some Physio, Acupuncture and Laser Therapy.

So he had his first session yesterday.

As you can see, he's looking very happy afterwards.

Little Gizmo got up and now can't stop.

Gizmo is a little fella with a big personality.

In September last year, Gizmo had major knee surgery on both back legs at the same time.

That's a big deal for any dog.

Turns out that Gizmo decided this was his opportunity to take life a little easier and get his family doing a bit more for him than they were used too.

He didn't seem to be particularly motivated to use his back legs as everyone expected him to over time.

He would loudly tell anyone who'd listen, what he wanted and when.

His Vet was concerned and felt he should be starting to use his back legs again, or at least be trying ...
.. but Gizmo seemed to be adapting to be served and waited on.

So, I was called in to see if we could get Gizmo up on those back legs and walking again.

I must confess, it was a challenge.

Gizmo no longer appeared to be in any pain, he just seemed to have made his mind up that using his back legs was too hard.

Gizmo enjoyed all the attention he was getting with the Acupuncture treatments and strength exercises and stretches we were all working on with him ...
.. but still he wasn't the most active participant.

The key is ...

As a team we never gave up. We all knew there was no logical reason why he shouldn't be using his back legs and start walking again.

Then one day it started to happen.

He began to use his left leg and started to scoot his bum in a semi-squat position across the floor.

We all marveled at Gizmo in action and wondered whether he will start to use the right leg?

The good news is ...

Over the last few weeks he's getting up more and more and taking himself around his 'kingdom', using both back legs.

It was a very special moment to witness it for the first time.

I'll be putting a video together showing Gizmo's story soon and will be sharing it with you ...
.. so you can see for yourself what a remarkable little fella he is.

Update on Patch the 11-year-old Labrador.

A few weeks ago I shared Patch's story.

He started off life training to be a guide dog ...
.. but his love of food meant that sadly he wasn't able to become a fully trained guide dog.

Lucky for Patch, he was able to find a loving home and a family devoted to him.

Last year he needed major knee surgery after damaging ligaments.

He never recovered from the surgery as well as hoped, so he recently started having Physio, Acupuncture and Gua-Sha.

Over the weeks of working with Patch, he's got better and better.

His family are doing an amazing job with his 'Home Care Rehab Program' ...
.. and Patch is happier, healthier and moving better.

Our Story

As a devoted dog owner and renowned canine rehabilitation practitioner, Tim Norris works with both dogs and their owners, sharing his approach to health, wellbeing and happiness – at ‘both ends of the lead’. At Both Ends of the Lead, we help older dogs and dogs with Arthritis live a long, happy and pain-free life. FOR DOGS Areas Tim can help: CANINE MUSCLE FUNCTION THERAPY/BOWEN THERAPY We all know how much our dogs enjoy being touched and petted as a form of affection and communication between ourselves and them. With Canine Massage and Bowen Therapy, Tim uses refined skills and a range of techniques to help relax tired muscles and relieve pain. This assists to increase circulation to injured or inflamed muscles and assists in restoring optimal movement, quality and flexibility. Massage can help: Reduce pain and muscle tension Improve muscular and joint mobility Slow down the ageing process and reduce the effects of arthritis Improve movement quality, leading to enhanced performance levels for agility and show dogs Improve digestion Enhance the elimination of toxins Improve the assimilation of nutrients AND Help your dog live a longer, happier life! REHABILITATION EXERCISE THERAPY An exercise therapy program consisting of stretches, mobilisation techniques and strengthening exercises can be tailored to your dog if appropriate. LASER THERAPY AND ACUPUNCTURE Acupuncture is a highly effective way of treating a wide range of muscle and joint problems, including Arthritis.

Tim combines the magic of Acupuncture with a range of other game changing techniques and strategies to help get the best possible outcome for your dog. Laser therapy can be particularly beneficial for unhealthy cells within the muscle tissue, meaning it can help reduce pain levels, enhance the repair of damaged ligaments and the healing of wounds. Low level laser therapy can also be an effective tool for pre and post operative conditions. INFRA-RED ONNETSU HEAT THERAPY Onnetsu heat therapy is a remarkable unique form of heat treatment from Japan, which has been proven to be very effective in degeneration conditions such as Arthritis. An important factor in maintaining good health is that our inner body temperature remains between 36.5-37 degrees. Any cells or tissues that are unhealthy or injured can become deprived of body heat. Therefore, they can become colder in that area. Often areas of illness and injury are colder than other parts of the body. Onnetsu heat therapy is applied to the cold or injured area to increase the inner body temperature and stimulate the diseased/injured cells to help the area recover health. Onnetsu heat therapy can help promote immune system function and balance the nervous system, as well as promote the flow of blood and lymph which can help lead to optimal health levels. Tim has achieved sigificant positive outcomes using this form of treatment in a range of spinal and hip related issues. See Testimonials to read more about the benefits of Onnetsu heat therapy. Tim will happily tailor the most effective approach for your dog, and can combine different strategies and treatments to help your much loved dog get the best possible outcome ...

... and crucially show you the life changing techniques he has personally used and developed over 15 years to give you the tools you need to help your own dog. QUALIFICATIONS Tim is a qualified Canine Myofunctional Therapist with a Diploma in Animal Physiotherapy (UK), a Small Animal Bowen Therapy Practitioner, and a Member of the Small Animal & Equine Naturopathic Association. ONLINE 'YOUR DOG AND ARTHRITIS ACADEMY' The only online program of its kind which will show you 7 key strategies to help YOU help YOUR dog live a longer, healthier, happier life. These are proven strategies that I am using with my clients right now with life-changing results. I will show you STEP BY STEP through a series of practical video demonstrations exactly what to do.
