A big "THANK YOU" to Tuna and her owner, Stephanie, for representing ChRC on the Local Fox 47 News in May. Dr. M appreciates you!

21/06/2024

Here we go again...time for Friday's Fitness Feat! Work the hindlimbs - have your dog hold forelimbs up (or hindlimbs down) for 30 seconds. Just follow Tuna on her stairs!And if you’re feeling spry, you can wall sit for 30 seconds.

And this is her enjoying a summer activity with her owner without even knowing she’s doing rehab work! Look at those forelimbs up, putting emphasis on her hindlimb musculature with her head slightly to the left, naturally shifting her weight to her right hindlimb. Perfect, absolutely perfect!

In case you needed motivation for F3 - here's Tuna doing hers! That girl is working for her food! Dr. M would like to point out that Tuna has beautiful hindlimb extension here - the best she has seen!

14/06/2024

F3 again! Do 3 cookie stretches with you dog and if you want, hold a plank for 30 seconds!

12/06/2024

After her rehab evaluation, it was recommended that Tuna start with therapeutic exercises to build up her muscles in her right hindlimb – see her fancy moves below. Backwards walking is great for hindlimb extension – she has to extend her hindlimb behind her body before she places the foot and bears weight.

Meet Tuna – she has RIGHT hip disease. Her right hip isn’t as well formed as her left hip. As a result, she experiences discomfort in her use of her right hip and alters her gait to alleviate her discomfort. Tuna was brought to Dr. M when her owner noticed her turning her right hindlimb in compared to the left.

Mr. Kodie's owner is constantly looking for multiple ways to help alleviate his pain. This is called a multi-modal approach to pain control - many times including oral medications, injectable medications, PEMF therapy, photobiomodoulation (cold laser) therapy, and aquatic therapy. All of these treatments are examples of a multi-modal approach for Mr. Kodie's pain control. Here's Mr. Kodie in the comfort in his own home on his own PEMF bed that his owner has purchased for him since it helps his comfort so much! Even his stuffed platypus is getting pain relief 💜

Meet Shelby - Mr. Kodie's owner. She is a wonderful human being who is constantly looking for ways to help reduce Mr. Kodie's pain and improve the quality of his life. He's on lots of oral meds and let's face it, sometimes oral meds don't go as planned....the pet won't take them or they don't provide enough relief. Don't forget about companion animal rehabilitation for those pets - rehab is able to provide pain relief in so many noninvasive, non-pharmaceutical ways! Contact ChRC today to help you and your pet in your journey for a pain free life!

Activity restriction for him makes his muscle knots and tightness worse. Way to go Mal and Apollo - making life style changes to forever impact the human animal bond 💜

Here's Apollo trying out the PEMF mat to help with reduce his pain and inflammation. He tried really hard to fit his entire BIG body on the mat! Just 15 minutes worth of treatment and Apollo is feeling good! Do you think he minds his rehab therapy 🤪?
