Rehab starts too late and finishes too soon

I was intending on writing a post about kissing spine rehab but when I thought about what I wanted to say it occurred to me that the point I want to make isn’t just about rehab following surgery. it applies to any situation where we have had a change to management and we are aiming to restore normal function.

When we rehab people we get them moving really soon even with major surgery such as hip replacements. People are discharged from hospital on the same day and when they have spinal surgery they’re often walking around the day after their operation.
I understand that we have different factors to consider such as the environment, keeping the wounds clean and the behaviour of the horse but I think we all agree that keeping a horse on box rest for four weeks after having an ISLD- ligament snip operation with not being allowed to start any physiotherapy exercises is far too conservative. I personally believe this is going to limit the potential for rehab.

I am fortunate to work with vets that are really up-to-date on their understanding of recovery and the stages of rehab so I start programs following the veterinary intervention early. However, it frustrates me when I hear that this doesn’t happen around the country or around the globe.

Controlled and progressive loading, with a protocol individualised for each horse starting as soon as possible is essential. Obviously, this must take into account the experience of their owner, the injury or surgery, the environment, the pre-existing injuries, their goals, their facilities and all the other factors that influence designing a rehab plan.
But, a safe low intensity selection of exercises is going to start the progress to resuming function soon, taking advantage of the veterinary intervention and being both mentally and physically productive.

Then at the other end of the time frame, I don't actually think any rehab is ever over! Transitioning to normal work but keeping some of the useful strategies and exercises employed during rehab - scaling these up and down - is for life after injury or surgery.

Household Cavalry Remembrance

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.

We work closely with homeowners, business owners and farmers to configure a system that is bespoke to their own personal requirements.

We are frequently asked - ‘are there any government grants available?’

🌿💡THERE ARE!

We do also like to add that it is worth making the transition to Solar PV even if self-funding, due to the payback advantages that producing your own energy delivers. Considering the current fluctuating energy prices, investing in Solar PV allows you to take control of future energy costs.

Please feel free to contact us with any further questions that you may have …. No hard sell! Just trying to do the right thing 💡☀️🌿🌱🌲

**THURSDAY RESEARCH MEME**

Todays meme relates to back templates pre and post exercise.

Back templates are an essential part of saddle fit, and if done correctly can provide information on how the horse’s back shape “may” have altered.

Whilst useful, it is important to consider the horses posture, the time of day that measurements are taken, the horse’s standing posture (square), pre/post exercise and head/neck position etc.

Image A (Top) with the pre and post exercise templates superimposed on each other, appears that the horse has “come up” or it’s back muscles “have got smaller”.

Image B is the same templates (as A) but corrected for a change in horse height.

Whilst useful, these complexities highlight the need for the ridden element of saddle fit, impossible to fit a saddle statically (in the stable and not ridden) or through the post!
