🐾 International Dog Day 🐾

Dogs are such an important part of my life so there's too many pictures to share 😅🥰

Should I use a ramp or step for my dog? In short, Yes! 🐾😊

Regardless of whether or not your dog has arthritis, a joint issue or has had surgery, using a ramp or steps to get your dog in and out of the car or on and furniture is good practise.

🐶 Dogs with hindlimb issues generally overload their forelimbs and vice versa.

🐶 Jumping up puts extra pressure on hindlimbs and jumping down puts extra pressure on the foreimbs.

🐶 Hindlimbs could slip causing re-injury or damage

🐶 Jumping down puts unnecessary concussive forces through the joints of the forelimbs, this can cause micro damage over time or aggravate arthritic
joints.

Young healthy dogs can benefit from these little things too: preventing early joint damage, helping to delay the onset of arthritis and preparing them for old age when they may not be able to jump anymore 😊🐾🤓

Happy New Year 🎉😊

I've been based in Lincolnshire for 1 year now and I thought it might be a good time to re-introduce myself.

My name is Ali, I've been a veterinary physiotherapist for 9 years and a small animal hydrotherapist for 6 years 🐎🐕
I absolutely love my work and how rewarding it can be 🥰

In my spare time, I enjoy mantrailing with my youngster, Hagrid the rescue pup and I'm a western rider.

If you are looking to book a physio assessment or treatment please feel free to get in touch.

This is the beautiful Squirrel ready for her maintenance treatment and loving the effect 🥰🐎

Physiotherapy isn't only for animals with issues or injuries, it's a preventative measure and helps maintain comfort, strength and flexibility 🐴😊

I've had scammers on my page, sorry if you've been affected! 🙃

Lovely little Lupin, my smallest client today 🐎🥰
She really enjoys her maintenance treatments.

Physiotherapy and Hydrotherapy work hand in hand, and I love being able to offer both to my patients 💧 🐾🐕

I also practise what I preach, and both my boys absolutely love the underwater treadmill 🐶

Tommy my old retired military wprking dog has arthritis and hydrotherapy helps keep him strong, mobile and comfortable.

Hagrid my puppy thinks that doing his strength and conditioning work is best done in the treadmill 👍

Hydrotherapy is such a beneficial therapy modality and there are many ways we can target specific areas and issues 💧🐾 This is Chey a military working dog who has intermittent lameness and gets very stiff and sore through her hindlimbs 🐕 Hydrotherapy helps improve her range of motion, strength and gait re-education. By doing short bursts on a front plate, as seen here, we can target just her hindlimbs. #amvetphysio #toplinehydro

Blaisie's physio sessions are a family affair 🥰🐴🦙 #amvetphysio #andrelax #happyhorses #Gloucestershire

Making the most of an afternoon off in the sunshine ☀️🐾🐕🥰 #beachday #amvetphysio

One of my lovely old clients, sadly (for me) moved to France and a life on the road in Europe but living his best life 🐾🐕 Lobster Adventures #goldenoldie #amvetphysio

The lovely Nero struggles a little with processing during his treatment breaks, but he always let's me know when he's ready for more.... 😁🥰🐎 #amvetphysio #equinephysio #Gloucestershire

I often get asked if I treat my own animals and the answer is, of course! 😁🐾 ✨️Tommy here is a retired military working dog and he has spondylosis and hip arthritis. He gets tight through his glutes and hamstrings particularly. This video shows Tommy's reaction to a trigger point release, he then starts to relax and process allowing his body to adjust and release tension 🐶🥰 I manage Tommy's issues with massage, trigger point release, laser, exercise management and stretching after exercise, so I do practise what I preach haha 😅🤓🐕 *Please excuse the lounge wear! 😅* #amvetphysio #arthritismanagement #caninephysiotherapy

It's National Cuddle Day 😁🤗 Let's see all your cuddle monsters please 🐾🐶🐴🥰🤗 #amvetphysio #nationalcuddleday

"Attention hoomans, on behalf of my mummy I would like to politely remind everyone about how she accepts payments 🐾🤓 🐾 Cash on the day 🐾 BACS payments, preferably on the day or within 24 hours of appointment unless previously discussed 😊 🐾 Cheque on the day if mum has agreed prior to your appointment Mum did let me into a little secret which I'll share......a card machine may be on the way to make it easier for all of you to pay on the day and not have to worry about carrying cash! 😁🥳 Hope that helps, thanks for listening to me" Tommy 🐶🐾

This is Squeaky, we've known each other a very long time and she was one of my first ever patients! 🥰 Squeaky is in her 20s and is semi retired, she has maintenance treatments every 6-8 weeks to help prolong her mobility, comfort and general well being 🐎🤓 Looking after our OAPs is just as important as our non retired animals, they can still sustain injuries and often have other things going on already......plus they really enjoy it and feel so good after 😁🐴 #amvetphysio #arthritismanagement #OAPcare

Easy things to do with your horses particularly if they're young or older to help with core stability, include 'rocks' which can be done at the wither like in the video or at the rump 🤓🐎 This exercise is nice and gentle and really gets the horse to engage alot of its core and stabilising muscles, if done daily it can help improve strength. It's also quite a nice 'releasing' exercise 😌 I've found that horses who are stuck and hold tension through musculature of the thoracic sling (and sub scapular where I can't really get too) or around their pelvis, really enjoy this and it helps before ridden work to prevent tension building and stiffness 😁 Eugene here was quite young when the video was taken and although seems to enjoy it, found it a little tricky 😊 #corestability #goodfoundations #amvetphysio
