Here is a video that is very special to me! This is Harley, my special boy that is 14.5 yrs old. He has a degenerative neurological condition that is affecting his back legs and he has extensive muscle wastage throughout his body. The pool helps to increase his range of motion, helps with pain relief, enables him to exercise without bearing weigh on his arthritic paws and also helps to decrease the rate of muscle atrophy and encourages his motor pathways to work correctly. When on dry land he can no longer use his legs in the correct diagonal pattern, however as you can see when he is in the pool he can manage to do this. The added bonus is he loves the pool!
Leo
Leo who underwent Carpal Arthrodesis surgery (fusion of the left wrist due to full rupture of the ligament) 5 months ago. This was Leo's 3rd session in the pool. The video is in slow motion to examine his movement whilst swimming. He loves the pool and is very happy to be doing some work again!
Very proud of Lucy the Bernese Mountain dog today. When Lucy first came she was very anxious, her muscle tone was poor due to multiple musculoskeletal problems and her sessions were short. Lucky has been working really hard over the last few weeks, her muscle tone has improved greatly and her confidence has grown massively. Today she was just superb moving around the pool in lots of new sequences for her and not only that she was comfortable and confident enough to start using a toy in the pool and even took a treat from me at the end of her session! I'm so proud of you Lucy! ❤️🐶
