Meet Bailey, possibly the smallest dog we've ever treated weighing in at 5lbs!

Bailey comes for regular physiotherapy to help manage his luxating patella. Although he does well in the water treadmill, his favourite part is doing active physio exercises as he's beautifully demonstrating here! 😍

Most people hear the word turbulence and think about an airplane, but the same principles also apply to water! If you think about the waves created behind a boat as it moves through the water, the faster the boat goes the bigger the waves, this is turbulence in action!

A qualified and experienced therapist will be able to influence the turbulence to tailor the sessions to your individual dog. For geriatric or post-surgery cases, the therapist can help ease movement through the water by creating turbulence in the same direction as the limb’s movement. Imagine when you swim against jets or resistance in the water, it’s hard to go against it! However, if you go in the same direction as the jets of water it helps to push you along. This allows the dogs to move their limbs with ease and start to slowly engage their muscles and build muscle over time.

Turbulence can also be used to make things a little more challenging for the dogs as they advance through their rehabilitation or sports performance program. For example, the therapist can create extra turbulence with their body as they move through the water or encourage the dog to change direction whilst swimming so that they are swimming through the turbulence that they are creating, again greatly increasing their workload.

Turbulence however can also be detrimental if not carefully considered. A dog swimming with poor technique, such as lifting their limbs above the water and splashing creates increased turbulence and workload for the dog and can quite easily cause the dog to overexert themselves. Therefore, the therapist may need to offer more support to the dog when swimming or walking on the treadmill and make the necessary adjustments to ensure safe and effective treatment.

Happy Halloween Everyone! 👻🎃🦇

Featuring the gorgeous Libby who was in the Halloween Spirit with her harness at her session this week! 😍

We wanted to wish a very Happy 1st Birthday to this special boy Murray! (his older brother Robbie couldn't miss out on the photo action though!)

Murray was born with congenital elbow luxation, which is the fancy way of saying that the bone has separated away from its position in the elbow joint.

Murray is receiving regular physiotherapy and hydrotherapy to help manage his condition whilst he continues to grow. He loves coming to his session and doesn't let his condition stop him from being a big playful puppy!!

Facebook has finally accepted our name change, so we are now fully 'Empowered Canine Physio'! It's been an exciting and stressful time, but thank you to all of our clients, old, current, and new for supporting us over the last 15 years! Here's to the next 15 and beyond! 🩶💜

Gorgeous Golden-doodle Maverick beautifully swimming during his latest water based physiotherapy session. You'll see as Maverick is swimming the therapist is putting her hands on his back legs to help provide some proprioceptive input and gently encourage greater active range of motion when swimming. This is to help maintain fluid joint movement and muscle strength to allow Maverick to maintain as much strength as we can throughout his golden years!

Reminiscing about last Saturday's sunshine at our Canine Coffee Club! We got some great photos of your dogs with the selfie frame, please tag us in any you took or send them to us, we'd love to see them! 💜🩶

All the bubbles!

Here's a great angle of Digby walking in our water treadmill. You can see in the start of the video that Digby isn't picking his paws very far up off the floor, meaning he's not really flexing his elbows. If you watch really carefully you can see he's flexing his right elbow less than his left elbow. To help improve range of motion, our therapists can use many treatment techniques, and in this case we are gently running our fingers down the front of the Digby's legs to encourage him to pick his leg up and over our hands. We aren't forcing the movement, just gently encouraging it to help increase the elbow range of motion during walking!
