Yay! New toys! Thank you The Balanced Pet, Veterinary Physiotherapy for the great service and sourcing us these. My hands thank you. 😅

The hefty massage star is a great tool to use on fascia and trigger points especially. You’ll see me use this alongside manual therapy during my physio sessions.

INACTIVITY AND PAIN

When we or our dogs are sedentary, we don’t use our muscles, so over time our muscles become stiffer, smaller and weaker 😰. If we don’t use them for a long enough time, they may even begin to atrophy.

Weak muscles are at risk of injury. When you are eventually forced to use these muscles, perhaps a friend invites you for a game of squash or you take your old dog out for a walk, it is likely that both you and your dog will be sore in the morning.

Inactivity also leads to bone loss. Weakened bones are at risk of breaking. 🦴

Further, not exercising leads to a reduction in joint range of motion and flexibility, which causes stiff, painful joints.

Then, a sedentary lifestyle also weakens the heart and diminishes the body’s ability to use oxygen effectively. 🫀

Finally, inactive dogs and people are prone to carrying excess weight, which places extra stress on the muscles, joints and heart muscle.

All of these factors together often result in feelings of chronic pain. This is the start of a vicious cycle, because when our dogs are in pain they move even less.

PRODUCT OF THE DAY - WALKEASE

We 💜 Walkease as a joint supplement for your dogs because it is a 💯 natural and biological active form of Undenatured Type II Collagen (UC-II), which promotes healthy, working joints!

Did you know that UC-II is safe with no known side effects and also no evidence of liver, kidney or blood dysfunction. It is also significantly more effective in reducing symptoms of joint pain than glucosamine and chondroitin combined - actually twice as effective! UC-II demonstrated a 62% reduction in overall pain at 120 days versus 24% with glucosamine and chondroitin. What’s not to love? 🐶

Little Elisabeth from Woodrock Animal Rescue is up and about- looking well on her way to recovery!

How simple and easy?! Mila helping me demonstrate how to wear the HealFast PetPatch Loop. This can be used on dogs, cats or even horses. Chronic or even acute pain be gone!

Some of you may remember our little dachsie patient who suffered a prolapsed disc and paralysis. We treated her conservatively alongside Crowthorne Vet and she is back to her old self, albeit with a small speed wobble now and then! A testimonial from Leila’s Dad: Leila is ñ op en wakker lewenslustige brakkie. Toe ek by die huis kom en besef sy het haar ruggie seer gemaak en haar agterlyfie was lam, was ons hartjies gebreek. Ek het haar na Crowthorne Vet toe gevat, en alhoewel my grootste vrees was dat hulle haar sal uitsit, het ek gebid dat hulle wel iets vir haar sal kan doen. Hoe dankbaar is ons vir die wonderlikke spannetjie by Crowthorne Vet se positiwiteit , hulpvaardigheid, kennis en bereidwilligheid. Vandag is Leila weer terug op al vier voetjies. So effe kink in die kabel en partykeer lyk dit of haar wiel balans uit is, maar sy is haar oulike, ratse,spontane self. Ek wil graag vir die volgende mense bedank: Dr Sheelagh vir jou mediese kundigheid. Courteney Meyer vir die fisio, leen van die speelraam en leibande. Ook Jenny vir jou aanmoediging en bystand.😃

We have access to a facility with an Underwater Treadmill, so if your dog is in need of hydrotherapy post operatively, or for weight loss, don’t hesitate to contact me and I will accommodate you. Fergie is having twice weekly sessions in the UWT for weight loss and to conservatively rehab her cruciate injury.

Veterinary Therapy

Courteney is a Veterinary Therapist, who completed four years of full-time studies at Equine-Librium College. Specialising in not only your small animals, she is also available to see to your equine athletes.

From Kyalami to Fourways and Randburg, all the way to Broederstroom and Hartebeespoort, Courteney is available for home visits, or alternatively, works from Bromhof Vet on Mondays and Sloppy Kisses Daycare on Fridays.

Each patient is treated as an individual, so it is not a “one size fits all” treatment, but rather tailored to the patients’ exact needs. Best results are achieved when the team of Veterinary professionals, farriers, owners or riders all work together. Communication is key to the recovery of the animal, along with dedication and lots of TLC.

Modalities used include massage, fascia release, electrotherapy, mobilisations and electro-magnetic therapy.
