Meet ✨ Digby ✨
This incredibly handsome lad has been having regular maintenance physiotherapy to make sure we’re on top of his comfort, mobility and strength as can you believe, he’s 11 years old! During one of his sessions we found him to be a little more sore through his elbows as well as some muscle wastage around the area. Luckily we were able to sort this ni**le out before it became anything problematic by adding in some pain relief, changing up his exercises and bringing his next appointment forward - as simple as that! It’s so important to keep up with regular check ups as our animals get older as we’re able to identify issues earlier!
PS: he had ants in his pants in the photo as he was very patiently waiting for his dinner! 😂

In true Hannah fashion, better late than never! Two weeks ago I had my last day at The decision was bittersweet as I was nearing to working there for nearly four years! Trying to juggle fitting in my own clients was becoming incredibly difficult which lead to this sad decision. I’m so incredibly grateful to have worked with such a special team who has helped me grow into the therapist I am now. I will miss all the special people (and dogs!) who have been such an incredible part of my journey! 💜💜

Meet Darce 😍 this incredibly handsome man has been receiving physio after this three episodes of IVDD, two of which resulted in spinal surgery. As a result he’s lost some muscle through his back legs which we’ve been targeting with physio exercises to get him nice and strong again 💪

Despite the look that Sidney is giving, he does really enjoy his physio! He was more annoyed the cheese ran out 🙈 This handsome boy has physio fortnightly due to a dysplastic hip, previous knee surgery and some shoulder osteoarthritis. He may not look it but he is 10! Over the past few weeks we’ve managed to get him back to his usual self as he had quietened down a bit and wasn’t feeling as comfy as normal. With a combination of soft tissue work, laser therapy and strengthening he’s now up to longer and more enthusiastic walks! 💪

Class 3B laser vs a seroma! In the images below you can see a small fluid filled swelling on the lateral aspect of the elbow joint. A seroma is a pocket of accumulated fluid under the skin, often caused by excessive movement or tissue irritation. The tissue irritation can be caused by internal sutures which are often used during surgery. Sometimes the surrounding tissue will react to the internal sutures which can result in a seroma. Now, how does laser help? Laser helps by stimulating cellular function, reducing inflammation, and enhancing lymphatic drainage to aid in the reabsorption of the fluid. It basically helps the body’s cell be more efficient at doing their job. In a nutshell, the light is absorbed by the mitochondria (powerhouse) of the cell which speeds up the ATP process thus having all those fantastic pro-inflammatory benefits. Laser works incredibly alongside manual therapies such as lymphatic drainage, soft tissue and myofascial release and some gentle passive range of motion. Laser is also fantastic for wound healing, muscle spasm or pain, osteoarthritis, joint pain etc. As much as I love laser, I have always said it will never replace hands on work but will supplement it! 🐶🐾

Best way to finish a busy week! 🐶🐾 this handsome man is Jontey who I’ve been treating for the past few weeks after a recent CUE (Canine Unicompartmental Elbow) surgery. I’ll be uploading his story in the next few weeks so watch this space!

Some dogs like to lay down during their treatment and others like to get as close to you as possible… And both options are totally okay! Gorgeous Brie decided she would be most comfortable on my lap and chest during her shoulder massage 🥰 Moments like this are so incredibly special and just make me love my job even more ❤️

Kick starting the year of the horse with these two beauts, Madonna and Sully! 🐎🐎 Madonna was seen for treatment following some compensatory back pain after some time off rehabbing from a wound and Sully had a quick start of the year MOT to ensure he’s feeling fab for the year ahead (can you believe he’s 17!?). Such a pleasure to treat these two 😍 and what a wonderful start to the year with the first two horses done!

Not the usual type of post I like to publish but unfortunately after having to chase a number of non-payments over the past few months, I would just like to gently remind clients that payment is due on the day of treatment as signed in your terms and conditions. As much as I wish I could provide my services for free, I have bills, insurance and business related costs that I just cannot afford to self fund. I am incredibly reasonable and will always try to help and make a plan should things be financially difficult, please just ask! Lastly, thank you to all you incredible people who pay on time - it is very much and always appreciated! Happy Wednesday! 💜

Have you ever heard or have been told that your horses “pelvis is out” or “the pelvis is twisted”? Well I attended yet another incredible CPD with Sara Farina and Dr Ross Johnston on debunking the myth of the twisted pelvis and sacroiliac region pain issues. We drew on evidence based assessment protocols to use in pain evaluation of this region and what hands on techniques are best suited for the holistic treatment of this area and beyond. Super excited to get this into practice now! 🐴🐴The techniques and content of this course is subject to copyright under the Johnston Farina Method©️

Quite possibly one of my most favourite pictures to date 🥰 Gorgeous Lottie had a slip on some concrete last week so had a physio appointment to help with some soreness as a result from taking a tumble. She was so clear in where she wanted treating and was constantly redirecting me to sore and tight areas. She was so appreciative with ample slow blinks, yawns and chewing. It was one of those sessions that reinforced how much I love what I do ❤️
