✝️✨Happy Easter to my clients, old & new🐣✨

✨I hope you have all had a lovely Easter break, a time for celebration and new beginnings!

⭐️Back at the beginning of April, the time came for me to leave my position at H2O in Somerset and fully focus on Callie Veterinary Physiotherapy!

🫶🏻My time at H2O gave me knowledge, experience and confidence that will be forever invaluable as I continue my career! Thank you to Amy for all the you have done and trusted in me and Jemma for making the days more fun!

🐶My lovely clients have spoiled me with gifts and kind, inspiring words and when imposter syndrome inevitably sets in on occasion, I’ll look back to these cards and remind myself why I do what I do!

Thank you all, here’s to the future at CVP🩷

Canine Kinesiology Taping CPD

🔰On Friday I attended a fab day of training hosted but Emily and Rebecca on Kinesiology taping, what it is, how it can help, contraindications and application (which is not as easy as it looks!!) Another skill to add to the tool box!

The benefits of using kinesiology tape:

🔰Pain relief
🔰Break down adhesions
🔰Propeioceptive input
🔰Lymphatic drainage
🔰Muscle activation/relaxation
🔰Improving blood flow
🔰Reducing trigger points & releasing fascial restriction
🔰Joint Support

❗️There are some contradictions that would prevent the use of taping on some clients, therefore seeking professional advice and application VetkinTapehank you Emily and Rebecca for hosting a fab day of CPD!!

🐶Physiotherapy for our older dogs this winter❄️

▫️The colder months can make day to day tasks and walks a little more difficult.

▫️ Along with regular physio to help keep your dogs pain, comfort and activity managed, here’s a few tips to help keep your older dogs comfortable:

- ❇️ COATS: especially for the older and thin hair dogs to ensure they maintain body temperature

- ❇️ KEEPING THEM DRY: after a wet or muddy walk, drying them off at home (don’t forget between the paws) prevents dampness which could lead to other health issues affecting their skin.

- ❇️ EVEN GROUND: helping to keep them steady and consistent in their steps. This can be level soft surfaces like short grass or flatter sand. Softer surfaces results in less concussive forces running through the joints

- ❇️ LENGTH OF THE WALK: on a particularly colder day it is best to keep with shorter walks but more frequent for example two 15/20 minute walks instead of one 45minute to an hour walk so that they are not out in the cold for too long and have chance to warm up at home again

Do you notice any of these with your animal?

🐾A lot of these signs refer to dogs but some can apply for horses and cats as well!

🐾Additional signs (in dogs) can include:
- Excessive panting when they are not typically hot or have carried out exercise
- Not weight bearing on a limb during standing
- Not sitting ‘neatly’ and sticking their legs out to the side
- Excessive licking/chewing or fly snapping of an area
- A change in their hair growth and direction of growth

🐾Sometimes signs can be nothing to worry about, but sudden changes in behaviour and movement can be an indication of something more so it is always best to seek veterinary advice if you have concerns!

🐎Your animal does not need to be injured, recovering from surgery or have a pre-existing condition to receive physiotherapy!

✅Incorporating a quarterly physio session is a great way to stay on top of your animals condition, ensuring they maintain good bodily health, function and is a fab form of injury prevention!

🚗We can look at it this way, a car service helps keep the engine flowing and in tip top shape to go about what it needs to do. A physio session can work in the same manner, keeping your animal fit for function and purpose!
