A recent pilot study evaluated the effects of a 10-session underwater treadmill programme across 50 dogs of varying ages and musculoskeletal conditions. What stood out immediately was the study’s clinical realism: mixed pathologies, inconsistent baselines, and the kind of patient diversity that complicates research but mirrors our caseloads perfectly.

Over five weeks, each dog completed a structured, controlled underwater treadmill protocol. The researchers reported improvements in joint range of motion across all measured joints, regardless of diagnosis or pathology. While this was a small, exploratory study, the consistency of the findings is compelling - especially given how multifactorial ROM limitations can be in chronic and degenerative disease.

*** There is black ice out there on the roads this morning!! ***

Many of the side roads are hazardous from the icing over of yesterdays snow. The main roads have been gritted but there is still black ice on them. If you are travelling please take care. If you have an appointment and decide not to drive today that’s fine, please just let us know. (It’ll all be over come Monday - as it’s going to warm up!) 🐾

We’re advising drivers to take extra care on Nottinghamshire’s roads today due to the icy conditions.

There have been five separate crashes on A610 near Giltbrook earlier this morning, including one car which rolled onto its roof.

One man was taken to hospital. His injuries are not currently believed to be life-threatening.

The road was closed while the incidents were dealt with.

We've also received reports of multiple crashes on the A38 near Mansfield due to the icy conditions.

Temporary Chief Inspector Jon Scurr, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “We’re urging drivers to please take extra care on the roads today as there are still significant stretches of ice present.

“We would also advise motorists to keep a good distance from other vehicles, reduce their speed, and set off on their journeys with plenty of time.”
