Did you know that practicing "sit to stand" exercises is a fantastic way to increase your dog’s strength? Here’s Ned perfectly demonstrating it 😍🐾 Key benefits include:
1. **Strengthens Core Muscles** – Engages key muscle groups for better overall stability.
2. **Improves Joint Mobility** – Helps maintain flexibility in hips, stifles, and back.
3. **Enhances Coordination** – Promotes better control over body movements.
4. **Aids in Injury Recovery** – A great rehabilitation tool for post-surgery or injury recovery.
5. **Boosts Mental Stimulation** – Keeps your dog’s brain sharp as they learn and practice a new exercise.
6. **Supports Senior Dogs** – Helps maintain muscle tone and mobility in older dogs.
Start with slow, controlled movements, and watch your dog get stronger, healthier, and more active! 🐶💪 #DogFitness #SitToStand #DogPhysio #CaninePhysiotherapy #RemedialExercise

Happy new year 🥳🙌🏼
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and new year. Here’s to another year of LWVP 🥂
Just a few 2025 housekeeping tips:
📔 Diary is now almost full for Jan so please message in advance to avoid disappointment.
❌ Cancellation policy - 50% cancellation fee applies if less than 48 hours is given. I don’t like enforcing this one, but I’ve already had a few last minute cancellations this week so I must emphasise this.
💦 In the event of wet weather, please keep horses dry and clean prior to physio.
I’m so excited to see you all, back to usual regime from Monday 🐴🐶
Have a video of Scooby doing his physio stretches over the holidays 😍

🏇✨ Check out this pole exercise 🐴 This exercise primarily enhances spinal flexion and bending, promoting overall flexibility and movement efficiency.
🐴 Key benefits include:
✅Increased spinal flexibility: Encourages better posture and range of motion.
✅Improved balance and coordination: Helps the horse navigate tight turns with ease.
✅Strengthened core muscles: Supports overall stability and athleticism.
Incorporate this effective exercise into your routine for a more supple and agile horse! #EquestrianLife #PoleWork
✨ Before & After ✨�What a great start to the week! In the first clip, you can see the trigger points and muscle fasciculations in this horse’s back, showing areas of tension and discomfort. But with some targeted massage, PEMF and LASER therapy, the second clip shows relaxed, soft muscles and no pain reactions. It’s so rewarding to see the progress – happy muscles, happy horse! 🐴💪Whether your horse is a high-performance athlete or your beloved companion, regular physio can make all the difference. Here’s to a productive and positive week ahead!#EquinePhysio #VetPhysio #HealthyHorse #EquineWellness #MondayMotivation

🐴🔍 Why Ridden Assessments Are Valuable in Veterinary Physiotherapy 🐴💡
As a veterinary physiotherapist, ensuring our horses can move pain-free and efficiently is our top priority. One of the most valuable tools in our toolkit is the ridden assessment. Here’s why:
1. Holistic Evaluation: A ridden assessment allows us to observe the animal in motion, providing insights into their biomechanics, muscle use, and overall movement patterns. This comprehensive view helps identify subtle issues that might be missed during a static or in-hand examination.
2. Behavioral Insights: Assessing an animal while they are ridden can reveal behavioral issues linked to physical discomfort, such as resistance, reluctance, or changes in performance. These observations are key to diagnosing underlying problems.
3. Rider Interaction: The way an animal interacts with their rider or handler can significantly impact their movement and comfort. Ridden assessments provide a chance to see this dynamic in action, allowing us to offer advice that improves both the animal's and rider's performance.
4. Progress Tracking: Regular ridden assessments are a fantastic way to track progress over time. By comparing past and present assessments, we can adjust treatment plans to ensure continuous improvement and optimal health.
Incorporating ridden assessments into veterinary physiotherapy not only enhances our diagnostic capabilities but also ensures our treatments are effective and tailored to each individual animal's needs. 🐾❤️
