Nix definitely enjoyed his LASER session today!
You can see how relaxed he is 😍
Bella relaxing during her LASER treatment 😍
Little Bobby sat so brilliantly for his LASER treatment this afternoon 😍
Toby was so relaxed during his LASER treatment this evening!
I have been treating Toby for pain and stiffness through his back and hind limbs but he has improved so much that I now only visit him once a month for maintenance sessions.
Normally Toby can be quite nervous during his physio sessions and it can be difficult to carry out manual therapies such as massage and stretching.
I was so happy with how he reacted to the LASER as I can now incorporate this into his treatment plan.
I always look forward to seeing Toby for his physio and hopefully he is feeling a lot more relaxed after his treatment this evening ❤️

I am beyond happy with how well Polly is coming along with her treatment.
I saw Polly a little over a month ago. She was unable to move her back legs, she couldn’t stand up or walk at all. She was almost completely paralysed through her hind limbs.
As you can see from the video, she has come a very long way in such a short time. With the help of myself, her vet and her lovely owner, we have been able to get her back up on her feet and walking around the garden again! She doesn’t even need support to walk anymore!
She is still quite unbalanced and struggles to get up after lying down for a while but with some more hard work we can hopefully get her back to her old self!
There are still a lot of people that have doubts about physiotherapy and what it can do but Polly is a great example of what we can achieve!
A lot of my posts recently have been about dogs but let’s not forget about the horses too! Today Chester had a treatment, this involved a deep global massage, some stretching and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES). NMES is used to stimulate weaker muscles in the body. Chester has a lot of muscle weakness and atrophy through his hind limbs, particularly the gluteal muscle groups on both sides. The NMES has helped to strengthen these muscles again and get those hind limbs moving properly! However, the use of NMES is not a quick fix, this has to be used with an intense rehabilitation programme on a daily basis, but the results can be amazing! 🐎
