Here we have the lovely Nellie, an Akita cross. Nellie started visiting us after she suffered a thoracolumbar trauma, resulting in pain and discomfort. This part of the spine is particularly vulnerable due to the stiff thoracic cage and the mobile lumbar spine.
Merry Christmas Nellie! ππ

This is Willow, a very cute Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. He has a condition called syringomyelia, which is the development of fluid-filled cavities within the spinal cord. Willow comes to Stage1 to maintain muscle mass and movement efficiency, which helps support his spine. This in turn improves his ability to perform day to day activities and his quality of life.
Merry Christmas Willow! ππ

Today we have Jago! Jago is an 18 month old Cocker Spaniel, who suffers with bilateral hip dysplasia. We utilise our underwater treadmill for conservative management of his condition. This improves strength in the supportive deep muscle structures of the hip joint, and increases his range of movement. The aquatic treadmill offers partial weight bearing exercise (otherwise referred to as closed chain kinetic exercise), which engages these deep supportive muscles far more effectively than the hydro pool would.
Merry Christmas Jago! ππ
