5 ARTHRITIS MYTHS BUSTED IN 5 DAYS! Myth #5 - Supplements can cure arthritis. Unfortunately supplements aren’t the best way to manage arthritis and nor can they cure it.

5 ARTHRITIS MYTHS BUSTED IN 5 DAYS!Myth #4 - Dogs with arthritis shouldn’t exercise. Not true! Movement is soooooooo important!!!

5 ARTHRITIS MYTHS BUSTED IN 5 DAYS!Myth #3
5 ARTHRITIS MYTHS BUSTED IN 5 DAYS!Myth #3 - Arthritis is just wearing away of the joint cartilage. Not true! It does so much more than that but most importantly (to a physiotherapist!!!) it weakens surrounding muscles so strengthening exercises help build stronger muscles to support arthritic joints so there is less pain and better mobility. #dogswitharthritis #mythbusting #mythsaboutarthritis #caninearthritis #doghealthtips #doghealthcoach #yourdogmoreyears #caninearthritismanagement
5 ARTHRITIS MYTHS BUSTED IN 5 DAYS!Myth #2 - Arthritis can be reversed Arthritis is a progressive degenerative condition, it will get worse over time.

I love taking my babies out for a walk! I love getting out and I love seeing them enjoying all the sights, sounds and smells! BUT…keeping them strong isn’t about walking them! Slightly reduce your walk time and spend it strengthening them with some home exercises! #strengtheningfordogs #seniordogs #huskiesofsydney #walkyourdog #itstheirwalk #dogmom #dogmum #doggosofsydney
Exercising indoors doesn’t have the fun smells of the outdoors BUT it will help strengthen your dog to have less pain and better function as they age! #sarcopeniaindogs #arthritisindogs #seniordogs #strengthtrainingfordogs #huskiesofsydney
Don’t give up if you don’t see results from exercises, try and do the right ones in the right quantity! 💪🏼❤️🐾 #dogphysio #dogrehab #seniordogs #dogswitharthritis #exercisetherapyfordogs #strengthtrainingfordogs #caninephysio #dogtraining
Keep trying if your dog doesn’t seem to “get” it! Try a different command, different hand potion, different exercise equipment or even a different treat! Try a few times and if it’s still not working give them a rest and try again another time. They may just not want to do it!! #proudhuskymum #gorgeoushusky #dogrehab #exercisetherapyfordogs #caninerehab #caninephysio
Supplements can be a great addition to promote health in a variety of ways and there are soooooo many out there for joint health which claim to decrease pain. The only way to know is to try them one at a time and observe any changes. Although supplements may work they’re not meant to be used in isolation, ask your vet what other ways you can help your dog…pst..exercises help pain too 😜
Limping is not normal! Some dogs may only limp at the end of a walk or maybe only when they’re running, however regardless when it happens limping isn’t normal and indicates pain. Please ask your vet to do a pain assessment! #animalpainawarenessmonth #limpingisnotnormal #painindogs #dogswitharthritis #dogswithhipdysplasia #ccltearindogs #seniordogs #dogmom #dogmomlife
