Most dogs and cats are active beings but it is important to note HOW they move, the SPEED at which they move and the FREQUENCY. 🐾

What is their posture like? Are they using certain parts of their body more than others? Do they use momentum to compensate for weakness?

A healthy companion should have a neutral posture, move with ease at different speeds and engage parts of their body in a balanced way. They lower and raise themselves effortlessly and enjoy the zoomies as much as a long, slower walk. 💚

If the above describes your companion, brilliant, ensure they continue to move this way! Should you notice compensatory patterns, changes in movement or decreased activity it’s time to step in and reverse or at least reduce the rate of compromise.🩺

Fascinating isn’t it! 💚 By keeping your companion lean and as muscular as possible (appropriate to their age, condition and breed) you are literally promoting the bodies natural ability to regulate and heal itself. 🐾 Exercise-induced myokines also reduce chronic inflammation!

During activity and contraction muscles release myokines that benefit nearly every system in the body, making muscle one of the most important regulators of overall health.🩺

Some examples of the systems Myokines have an effect on are;

* The Liver (glucose production, fat oxidation)
* Adipose tissue (fat breakdown)
* The Brain (mood & cognition)
* Bone/skeletal system (bone remodelling & density)
* The circulatory system (cardiovascular health & circulation)
* The Immune system (inflammation regulation)

Skeletal muscle acts as an endocrine organ by releasing signaling molecules, known as myokines, into the bloodstream during contraction. 🐾

These myokines allow muscle to communicate with organs throughout the body, influencing metabolism, inflammation and tissue repair.💚

Movement is medicine! 🩺

To be proactive means to take initiative before a problem occurs, rather than reacting after something has already happened.🐾

Proactive health using exercise in animals means creating consistent, natural movement opportunities that prevent disease, support mental and physical well-being, and promote long-term health before problems arise.💚

Should you notice something unusual in your companion or they are a breed with a predisposition reach out to us so that we may intervene in a preventative way. 🌿

It’s no secret that when a companion is exercised in the right way the brain releases endorphins, which are natural chemicals that act like painkillers and mood boosters.🐾

Appropriate physical activity functions like a powerful, natural form of therapy for both the body and mind. 🌿

There is ever growing scientific and medical evidence showing that correct and regular movement prevents, treats and can even reverse many physical and even mental health conditions.💚

Today we honour a legendary man. 💚

While most of us may not have the power to achieve what he did every act of kindness, every helping hand and every deed of service, no matter the size makes a difference, a ripple effect.

Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.

In honour of Madiba do something selfless today to serve another. Start the ripple, after all many ripples culminate into waves.
