Sunday clinic was busy today with these lovely faces ❤️. Back pain was the theme of the day with everyone progressing on their own journeys nicely. Do you know what the symptoms are for back pain in doggies?

⭐️ The success story of a dog that had her hip joint taken out and is stronger than ever ⭐️

The work that has gone into Luna from her owners in the last 2 years has made her into a success story. For every patient we see the goal is to get the absolute most out of them and I’m a strong believer in there’s always progress to be made. Some patients that come through we get them better and we don’t see them again, but Luna’s owners wanted more. They wanted consistency for a working breed who let’s face it, is very clever and full of energy. Since her FHO surgery 2years ago I have seen Luna pretty much every 4-6 weeks. Today was no different but we don’t need to support her anymore with laser or soft tissue work, just pure strength and conditioning (which is our bag)!

We’ve pushed into reactive strength training now and today wanted her to start jumping up onto the table. She did a great job at stepping up leading with the operated leg but we wanted more power generation. So we added a pole in to act as a spacer to get the desired effect which worked well for her.

Well done 👏 you are the exact reason i do this job ⭐️

Very proud of this pooch Sara. These photos were 4 weeks apart with the bottom one being the most recent.

Sara is ageing gracefully and has recently had 2 steroid injections in her lumbar spine due to low back pain resulting radicular pain under the care of Mainstone Veterinary Clinic in Romsey, Hampshire. She has also had a rough time with pancreatitis so she has lost weight on top of muscle strength.

With dedicated owners, an experienced hydrotherapy team and a rehab plan we are making headway! Her diet has also been tweaked and might need some more tweaking soon but she’s heading in the right direction.

A big well done to for the consistency and for their continued attention to detail.

Final BIG THANKYOU to everyone who donated to my Ben Nevis Night trek for
Alzheimer’s Research UK.

The trek up at night I think was very helpful because we couldn’t see the up hill journey and got up on 3.5hours. The way down gave us amazing views of dawn breaking and it was so quiet and peaceful.

Next year I will pick another charity but for now I will stop the Ben Nevis spam for you all!

This weekend I will be trekking Ben Nevis at night to raise money for Alzheimer's Research UK. Saturday night at midnight we start on our 4-5 hour ascent in the hope of seeing the sunrise at the top 🌅 I’ve been rehabbing my knee for the last 10weeks so training hasn’t gone completely to plan but it’s 90% better and thinking of my nan in her care home with this horrible disease will push me up there, plus I’m a physio and inherently competitive. But, this is a final plea for any further donations to push me up Ben Nevis quicker, if you can donate anything you can do so via tapping on the picture below, Thankyou to everyone who has donated already.
