Ollie is one of our lovely older patients. Whilst degenerative conditions often canโ€™t be halted there are many benefits to the patient with ongoing supportive physiotherapy, which maintains comfort and increases quality of life.
Ollie is seen here enjoying some PEMF as part of his overall physiotherapy session.

PEMF uses electromagnetic pulses to stimulate and balance the cell's functions gently with a pulsating magnetic field that penetrates deeply into the tissues and cells. PEMFs are producted through a magnetic field generator and copper coils, which are in the pad under Ollieโ€™s front legs.

There is gradually emerging research to support its benefits and one such study in dogs investigated the effect of Pulse Mag therapy on OA (Pinna et al., 2012), the aim was to see if it impacted on pain relief and functional capacity of the patient. The dogs had 20 treatments over a period of 3 weeks, and were assessed throughout. Results showed that Pulse Mag improved lameness scores in 92% of the dogs, meaning they were able to put more weight on the affected limb. The dogs also showed reduced pain when the arthritic joints were touched, and owners felt that quality of life had improved. The trial showed a positive correlation in the use of PEMF in dogs with OA. We think Ollie agrees!

This was posted by a friend of mine on a well known agility Facebook site - students take note, this is relevant whether you are competing or not. Hereโ€™s to you all enjoying your individual agility journeys with your lovely dogs! ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿพ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป

There are many challenges in agility beyond the obvious one of navigating a dog around a course of obstacles. There are quite significant physical and also mental challenges involved in participating. An agility competition puts us in a situation where we are out in a very public arena with an inherent pressure to succeed and a risk of failure. Just doing this can be a huge challenge, and is an achievement to be proud of. ๐Ÿ’ช

I don't think many of us find it as easy to share our struggles as we do our successes and that gives a misleading impression that struggles don't happen for everyone. I can guarantee that is not the case. If you're having a problem, you are genuinely not alone. It's hard sometimes to speak up, but sharing a problem, or a weakness or a dilemma is the first step to finding support, solutions and answers. It could even be life changing. โค

No two agility journeys will ever be the same, even with different dogs handled by the same person - yet the measures used officially to define 'success' strongly emphasize and encourage comparison with others. Even if we are not in direct competition, we frequently evaluate our performance against a benchmark of what we see others doing. This can be motivational but will often have the opposite effect. We are usually our own harshest critic and our own worst enemy. ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€โš–๏ธ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

Competition, by definition is comparison but this adds an extra emotional challenge to agility, because comparison is the thief of joy. It is very, very difficult not to make comparisons and for those comparisons not to erode, to some degree our enjoyment of agility. Even more so when others devalue an achievement based on their own perceptions and goals. ๐ŸŽฏโš–๏ธ

What makes us all equal is we all love our dogs and we all love them doing agility with us. Dogs don't make comparisons. Our dogs don't care whether we are grade 1 or grade 7, or whether they have a ribbon or an elimination. They don't know or care that we couldn't make the front cross, or missed out on a final, or forgot a course or can't run as fast as someone else. As long as they have had fun with their person they're happy with the outcome. ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽŠ

For anyone who is struggling with comparisons right now, be kind to yourself and see what your dog sees in you. Someone who is playing a great game with them. Forget the comparisons and be more dog. ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’–
