‼️PET OWNERS - BE WARNED‼️

It has come to our attention that a machine is being advertised/sold to the public at Crufts this year and being marketed as a "revolutionary ultrasonic physiotherapy tool" for canine athletes, those recovering from injury ⚠️, needing pain relief and rehabilitation.

Putting aside the fact that you must legally 👩🏼‍⚖️ have vet consent to treat any animal with an injury/condition, this machine is VERY unlikely (they provide no specification online for the machine) to be able to provide effective therapy to your pet. It may at best 🙏🏼 be completely ineffective and do nothing, at worst burn 🔥your dog's tissue - a human could tell you, your dog can't 🤐.

🌊 When used CORRECTLY the results from ultrasound therapy can be incredible, and our trained and highly qualified Vet Physios use it daily to help our clients on their rehab journey, having preset the parameters to that animals exact need.

!!BUT!! Ultrasound is a complicated therapy, has varying frequencies, wavelengths, durations etc for the treatment required and MUST have a trained professional who knows how to clinically reason the treatment dose being given based on a number of individual parameters which are absolutely NOT one size fits all🐜🐘. In fact, different for individual animals of even the same breed and definitely different for athletes, injuries (different for chronic/acute), pain relief etc.

This is yet another example of people either just trying to exploit money out of caring and naïve owners wanting to do their best, or will be used by people trying to cheapskate and shortcut their way into animal therapy and it's just god damn dangerous for the animals🤦🏼‍♀️😩

📖 Properly trained Vet Physios undergo ENTIRE modules of their degrees to learn how to ❗SAFELY ❗clinically reason doses and apply those treatments.

Moral of the story. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! OR YOUR DOG PAYS THE PRICE! 🥺🐶

⚠️ CHRISTMAS SAFETY

When choosing toys, treats, enrichment for your dogs this Christmas, ensure that the toy is suitable and there are no small pieces that can break and get ingested.

TIP - if your dog is particularly destructive with toys, invest in ‘tough’ toys. Some toys claim to be indestructable while thwy can be ‘tougher’ than regular toys, they will eventually break with enough rough and tumble!

❄️❄️ Your dog in cold weather ❄️❄️

Some breeds are better equipt to deal with cooler temperatures than others however, nobody is exempt from the increased risk of musculoskeletal injury.

Older dogs or dogs with pre exsisting degenerative conditions such as Osteoarthritis will feel the cold even more so, leading to joint inflammation and pain

TOP 3️⃣ TIPS FOR WINTER
❄️ Shortened walks - shorter, more frequent
❄️ Encourage movement - enrichment toys, hydrotherapy, at home exercises, massage
❄️Warm, soft bedding - If your dog is an ‘outdoor’ dog make sure they have the option of a soft bed, lying on cold flooring for prolonged periods can lead to stiffness

💪🏻 Muscle Atrophy

Many people may mistake muscle atrophy for loss of overall body weight or may think their dog has become skinny. Although a loss of muscle mass can be caused by a nutritional imbalance, there are many other possible causes.

Maintaining a healthy muscle condition is crucial for your dog’s comfort and longevity. If you suspect muscle atrophy or notice any changes in your dogs body, contact your vet and a Physio/Bodyworker 🌟

Lovely Lewis getting some PEMF Therapy. The goal is to rehab after a pelvic fracture. We will also prescribe at home exercises and hydrotherapy 🌊

On Tuesday Hugo & George were playing rough house….Hugo learnt that playing with a Bernese can have it set backs!! 😢

There is nothing broken but there is some soft tissue damage in his right front causing pain and lameness 😓

Soft tissue injuries can be very frustrating because ultimately it takes TIME. Fortunately I have an extensive knowledge in canine rehab and a PEMF machine to help speed up healing and reduce Hugo’s pain

Hes getting 2 x 20min sessions per day. Its still early days but he is starting to weight on it just 2 days after initial injury! 🙌🏻🩷

🤕💥 Managing back pain in dogs

Like all of us, dogs can get stiff through their back or even injure themselves while running or playing. Muscles, tendons & ligaments can become tight amd painful from doing lots of activities or even a change in weather!

➡️ Follow these top tips to maintain optimum back health
If you suspect your dog is in pain consult your vet

Some dogs will be a little weary of our PEMF machine to begin, it may take a few sessions for them to fully accept the treatment. We never force a dog to do something they are not comfortable with. This defeats the theraputic purpose!

Although he is big, George is a very nervous dog, its just his nature! 😄 I am using PEMF for George to promote optimum joint health 🦴

Buddy relaxing during his PEMF treatment😌

Buddy was recently diagnosed with Osteoarthritis in his hips and Patella (knee). With PEMF & medication prescribed by his vet we can manage the condition by reducing inflammation and pain

➡️Dealing with Canine Arthritis?

As a large breed dog owner myself, this is something that is always playing on my mind and was one of the reasons I held of getting a large breed dog for so long!

No matter how much I monitor his nutrition, exercise, weight he will still be at risk at any stage of his life 🤕

A combo of Massage & PEMF can help manage pain and inflammation associated with Osteoarthritis 🦴

🐕 BIG BREED OWNERS 🐕

Big dogs are so loyal and full of character! Unfortunately, they can be predisposed to joint issues 😢 Try some low impact exercises…

🌊 Swimming
👃🏻Scent detection
🧠 Mental enrichment
🎾 Gentle play
🐕‍🦺 Walking - of course, walking is a great way to exercise your dog, keep in mind the terrain and distance. Soft sand can cause extra strain on joints, tendons, ligaments

Health dog = Happy dog 🩷🥰🐶

We all know its so important to keep ourselves healthy to keep an disease or illness at bay by maintaining a balanced diet and keeping fit with regular exercise 🤗 Our dogs are exactly the same!!!

We can’t bring our dogs to the gym (unfortunately!)

Some breeds are predisposed to certain diseases or conditions. The best thing we can do for our dogs is to keep them at a healthy weight, feed good quality food and plenty of socialisation and movement 😊 It’s not a secret, just common sense!!

PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy involves the use of electromagnetic fields to stimulate healing and overall wellness in the body. The underlying principle behind PEMF therapy is based on the fact that electromagnetic fields influence the body’s cells and tissues at a fundamental level

23/03/2024

🔵 Pain Relief: PEMF therapy can help alleviate pain associated with conditions like arthritis, hip dysplasia, and musculoskeletal injuries by promoting the release of endorphins and reducing inflammation.
🔵 Improved Healing: It may enhance the healing process of fractures, wounds, and soft tissue injuries by increasing blood flow, stimulating cell regeneration, and reducing recovery time.
🔵 Enhanced Circulation: PEMF therapy can improve blood circulation, which is beneficial for overall health and can aid in the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to tissues.
🔵 Reduced Inflammation: By modulating inflammatory responses, PEMF therapy may help manage chronic inflammatory conditions such as osteoarthritis and autoimmune diseases.
🔵 Relaxation and Stress Reduction: Dogs undergoing PEMF therapy often experience relaxation and reduced stress levels, which can be particularly beneficial for anxious or nervous animals.
🔵 Improved Mobility: With reduced pain and inflammation, dogs may experience improved mobility and range of motion, allowing for better quality of life, especially in senior or mobility-impaired dogs.
🔵 Non-Invasive Treatment Option: PEMF therapy is non-invasive and generally well-tolerated by dogs, making it a suitable complementary therapy alongside other conventional treatments.
🔵 Adjunct to Rehabilitation: It can complement rehabilitation programs for post-operative care or after orthopedic surgeries, aiding in faster recovery and rehabilitation.
