Christmas Raffle for Cheltenham Animal Shelter
We've raised £280 for Cheltenham Animal Shelter! Thank you to all our clients for donating prizes and for purchasing tickets for this wonderful charity.
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! 💜🩶
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!
