Over the past few weeks I have had the pleasure of helping some really nice dogs feel tip top for one of their biggest race meetings of the year at the New Zealand greyhound cup meeting last night.
This girl "Opawa Louise" ran third in her race in the 2023 ROSE AND THISTLE STAYERS CUP FINAL (G1).
The dog konked out in the back ground after his session is "Levi Bale" who won the 2023 THE HOMEKILL GUYS GALAXY FINAL (G1).
These dogs are so loved it melts my heart ❤️

I have had the absolute pleasure of working with this boy "Dance with the Boss" (aka Sharky) for several
weeks now.
On his first session he had a few areas of tension throughout his body which was making this boy a little agitated and quirky and was known to clamp up every now and then.
Earlier this week when I laid my hands on him he was like a whole new horse, so supple and alot more happier.
The team at Matt Purvis Racing have done a stella job getting this boy to the where he is today.
Im super stoked to be a tiny part of it!
Sharkys race is worth a watch, he went sensational 🏆

The old saying "Prevention is better than cure" has always stuck with me since I was a kid.

It resonates with me when treating horses too.
A great example of this is my Fav girl TK Megastar AKA Raffy.
Raffy has a history of tye-up and often carries tension throughout her muscles because of this.
I went over Raffy a couple of times leading up to her first race back after a spell.
The team at Gold Bar Racing had her feeling fantastic.
My job with this girl wasn't to resolve an issue but to help her continue feeling her best!
Raffy sure did show us she was feeling fantastic when she won her first race back at Kaikoura on sunday 🏆🥳

You dont need to wait until something is bothering your horse to get a body work session done.

⚠️ PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE ⚠️

How does physio pod deep oscillation work you ask....

An electrostatic field is built up between an applicator or my hands via nylon gloves and the patients tissue.

When friction is generated by the movement of my hands and or applicator, electostatic induction happens, creating a picking up and dropping action within the soft tissue up to 8cm below at speeds ranging from 5-250 hertz per second.

This process
● Drains blockages
● Drains waste products within the tissue.
●Increasing circulation of cells
● Promoting healing and pain reduction
