AIKO, gorgeous Japanese Spitz, had a recent vet visit for a sore back and luxating patella. 🖐I applied therapeutic massage and Vetcare Photizo red light therapy to Aiko's tight lumbar region, quads, hamstrings, neck and shoulders, as well as applying very gentle passive range of motion to all her limbs to help release some of the tight compensatory areas. 🩺Aiko also has a set of instructions from the vet to follow for her recovery. 🐶🐾🐾 Looking forward to seeing Aiko and her lovely family soon again 🐾🐾🐶 www.GreytTouch.co.nz #caninemassage #caninerehabilitation #dogmassage #canineenrichment #caninerehab #caninemassagetherapist

🐾🐾CONGENITAL DEFORMITY🐾🐾 🏆Winston's Incredible Progress🏆 check this out⬇️ These amazing videos from Winston's mum and dad were taken recently. After intensive weekly sessions, Winston is now using all 4 legs when walking and distributing his weight. 🎬 Slo-Mo Video 1 - shows the amazing extension, flexion, range of motion and ambulation in Winston's Right Hindlimb. 🎬 Video 2 - Look what a happy boy he is enjoying stretching his legs in his paddock & full use of his R Hindlimb ❤️ 🐶 When I 1st met Winston, he had been walking on 3 legs for a really long time - his muscles, tendons and ligaments tightly locked up like a solid brick... what a transformation👏🥳 🏆THE BACK-STORY: 2yr old Wriggly Winston was born with Right Tibia Angular Limb Deformity (ALD) and a duplicate fibulia bone in his hind limb. This has affected not only his gait, posture and balance, but also his temperament due to chronic pain, multiple trigger points and muscle spasms. When I 1st met Winston, he was walking mainly on 3 legs, his right hind limb incredibly tight, taut and painful from being in a constant state of contraction. During our weekly sessions Winston has allowed me to do more and more on his ouchie limb and he is beginning to get a good extension with his muscles, tendons and ligaments slowly releasing, elongating and softening. 🏆We are now working on maintaining Winston's muscle conditoning, extension, flexion and range of motion (PROM). No matter how small the movements are, they are are incredible milestones - from a previously rock solid leg with little to no flexion and very limited extension. I also ensure the compensatory limbs and spine get a deep workout too ❤️ We are also adding active stretches to his regular sessions to keep his core strong and support his spinal and limb alignment. Winston's family have done an incredible amount of work in arranging corrective surgery when Wiston was a wee pup, as well as ongoing

🐾October is Pet Wellness Month🐾 🦷Here's Dolly being a good girl having her teeth brushed 🦷 there are some greyt tutorials online! 🦷Trick or Treat🧛‍♂️🧛‍♀️ how often do you brush your furbabies teeth?? Daily brushing is best, however if that's too difficult to maintain, then an annual dental check-up should be done. 🩺Check in with your vet when they run dental promo's. 🦴🍗Various foods also help maintain dental health. Have a chat to your vet or pet food specialist store for recommendations. 🤮Poor dental health leads to all sorts of painful infections and increases your pet's risk of gastrointestinal, liver and heart disease. www.GreytTouch.co.nz #petwellnessmonth #petteethcleaning #greyhoundsofauckland #aucklandgreyhounds #greyhoundsofinstagram #greyhoundsmakegreatpets

DAY #3 🐾Pet Wellness Month🐾 💅NAIL CARE 💅 How regularly are your pet's nails trimmed? If you hear their nails clicking on the floor, they need a trim ✂️ Long nails are really ouchie and affect the positioning of your dog's feet, placing strain on their ligaments and muscles. Older arthritic dogs find these changes very uncomfortable too, so don't overlook your golden oldies... 🐾 If you need help trimming your dogs nails, join Kiwi Vet Behaviour's nail trim workshops, or pop to your vet/ pet groomer. In-home mobile services are also available for anxious pets that prefer nails trimmed at home 🐕🐶🐩🏠 🎬Dolly enjoying her nail spa and paw balm massage💅🐾🐾 www.GreytTouch.co.nz #caninemassage #caninemassagetherapist #dognailtrimming #kiwivetbehaviour

Winston's weekly treatments are always such a highlight!! Winston is making remarkable progress - from painful rock solid myofascial trigger points as a result of immense compensatory off-loading, to pliable muscles, incredible hind leg extension, improved range of motion and being calm & mesmerised by the delish licky mat 🐶🐾🐾❤️ www.GreytTouch.co.nz 🏆THE BACK-STORY: 🐾CONGENITAL DEFORMITY🐾 2yr old Wriggly Winston was born with Right Tibia Angular Limb Deformity (ALD) and a duplicate fibulia bone in his hind limb.

🐾REMEDIAL MASSAGE for DACHSHUNDS🐾 Rambo's PROM 👋🖐 15yr Rambo took a tumble down some stairs recently and after his vet check-up has been receiving remedial massage to ease his stiff paraspinals, hips, lumbar and release a series of myofascial trigger points (knots) along his spine. 🐶 Wthin 2 sessions, done 3 days apart his walking gait has improved and he is no longer collapsing on his back legs ❤️ Have a look at this video clip of how I applied the gentle Passive Range Of Motion (PROM) technique to help encourage the flexibility of Rambo's joints and improve his mobility. ✅️ Only applying stretches & flexes as far as he allows within his comfort levels, never forcing the movements 🐶🐕🎬💃🕺 🐾 Rambo also has regular lymphatic massage to help with his Cushings Disease. Lymphatic drainage is beneficial in aiding in the filtering and flushing of the surplus cortisol. Cushing’s disease is a condition caused by an excess of the stress hormone cortisol which affects the functions of the adrenal and pituitary glands. This in turn impacts the liver, digestive and nervous systems. Lymphatic drainage massage helps direct the excess cortisol and waste to the lymph centres so that it can be filtered and eliminated from the body. 👋🖐If you have a dachshund of any age, regular massage will help maintain their spinal muscle and joint health, especially as they are at risk of developing IVDD (Intervertebral disc disease).
