This gorgeous girly has made an excellent recovery following hip dislocation & toggle surgery to repair 🩷. She has been a very good patient for the last 6 weeks of weekly physio to support her rehab. Even with frustrating setback along the way which couldn’t have been helped (always something with our furry patients!). She is now travelling back home down south after a stay with her grandparents up Norf, so I will be handing her over to continue her physio there 🥰
Well done Islay 🌟 ❤️

When all the furry family members like to join in the relaxing vibes of a physio session 💆‍♀️ 😂 🐶 🐈‍⬛

This is the gorgeous terrier Lily (yes, rather confusing when physio + patient have the same name 🤪). Lily started her physio sessions after the vets diagnosed her with cruciate ligament disease. Conservative (non surgical) management was the best option and so we have been utilising LASER, hands on therapy & exercise to help gradual healing & strength building.

Lily has made great progress and is much happier & more playful again! 🤩💖

Introducing this beautiful little girl, Jelly the kitten 🐈‍⬛.

Jelly’s mum was reported a pregnant stray, and soon gave birth to Jelly & a brother. The amazing staff at Windyway Animal Rescue have been looking after them 🐈‍⬛❤️.

Unfortunately, from birth we noticed something wasn’t quite right, and Jelly was found to be struggling with neurological symptoms including being unable to stand, wobbling and falling over 😔.
I have started visits to see Jelly from 6 weeks of age to start working on building up her strength, mobility & balance. This has involved a combination of hands on proprioceptive techniques, gentle joint movements & massage.

Jelly is such a sweet girl and we all love her! She is making a huge effort to get about and I think this positive drive is really encouraging and she seems to be getting stronger already🤞She has lots of hands on deck and some very creative minds getting stuck in (including a homemade standing + walking frame!!) so fingers crossed this will all be a great help for her.

Jelly + her brother + mummy cat are ideally looking for a foster home all together where Jelly can continue to work on her exercises and get stronger each day. Mum is still helping to look after her and brother kitten is a sweet & mischievous little monkey! They are a lovely family - please do get in touch with Windyway if you feel you can help ❤️.

Some snippets of a few of my lovely patients recently 💙

I would also like to say a belated happy birthday to Head to Tail Vet Physio as we reached our 3rd birthday June just gone 🥳. I must have been too busy for it to cross my mind at the time 🙈. It’s hard to fathom I qualified 4 years ago now, how much I have learnt, and how many amazing humans & animals I have met in that time! A huge thank you for all your support and for keeping me so busy 🙏

On that note, the diary is full until September 🫣 I am away at the end of August, so responses may be delayed at that time. I think most of you are booked in but for anyone needing their next general maintenance appointments booked in, do get in touch to organise for September 🌟.

A final update regarding my working hours - after being nagged my several of my lovely clients (the number of business coaches, financial advisors & moral supporters I get for free is crazy 🤪) to set some boundaries for myself, I am trialing closing the diary to bookings on a Friday to keep this as a clinical admin day for myself (boy does it pile up 📚 👩‍💻).

I continue to work long hours Monday to Thursday to ensure I can still fit everyone in. 🗓️

To all my lovely patients & clients,
💙🐾 🌟 THANK YOU! 🌟 🐾💙

Handsome Boy Willow looking happy after his 3-weekly treatment to support him with his hip dysplasia ❤️ featuring his not so calm, crazy brother who insists on giving me face boops and ear licks 😂 (he may or may not get temporarily banished by his mum for Willow’s physio time 🫢).

Willow also struggles with a sensitive tummy and is on an amazing concoction of herbal remedies & supplements - the fewer harsh meds the better for Willow and so his regular physio is all the more beneficial for keeping him comfortable ❤️.

Happy Friday All 🌟 Social media has taken a back seat whilst I’ve been generally very busy! But fear not… we’ve still had plenty of very chilled pooches enjoying their physio treatments. Another lovely week complete of both new & old faces.
Here’s some snaps 💜💙🐶🐾

Meet this handsome boy, Critique 🐴 💙
Critique has started physiotherapy sessions to support him with kissing spines. As you can see he finds his sessions very relaxing and is a real sweetie to work with! 🌟
Kissing spines is a condition where the dorsal spinous processes (sticky-uppy parts of the spine) are too close together, causing pain, swelling & discomfort.
We are utilising a multi-factorial approach to help to manage pain and improve mobility and strength.

Treatment includes:
⭐️Manual therapies including massage and myofacial release to relieve restrictions in the soft tissues, improve comfort levels and mobility
⭐️Joint mobilisations to improve joint lubrication, flexibility and comfort
⭐️Masterson ™️ bodywork techniques, which help to improve comfort and improve mobility by encouraging the horse’s nervous system to release tension through specific parts of the body
⭐️LASER (electrotherapy) where indicated to support manual therapies.

As a non surgical treatment option, regular physio, plus targeted exercise to help strengthen core & back muscles, along with other potential methods (e.g corticosteroid injections) can help support the spinal column and control pain & inflammation. Often there are other things going on at the same time, (e.g hindlimb soreness or muscle pain) so each physio session is tailored to work on all aspects of your horse’s needs 💙.

Zoom in for the paw 🥹🥹🤍🤍
As I say to his owner every time, this boy melts me and makes me want to cry in the best way possible 😂
So grateful to be able to be part helping him feel more comfortable and living his best life 🐾 🌟

Release! 🥱 ✨

I try to mention during sessions that it’s a really great sign if your dog or horse is yawning during the treatment. (Do note that yawning with dogs can indicate anxiety from a behavioural point of view but it is possible to differentiate). Yawning indicates a large release of tension. This might be at the time of treatment or a bit later on.
There are also some other more subtle signs to look out for that indicate tension release:

* Blinking / twitching of the eyes or lips
* Sighing or changes in breathing
* Softening of the eyes or face
* Licking and chewing
* Fussing or fidgeting
* Shifting weight around / swapping the resting leg
* Snorting / sneezing
* Shaking the head or body
* Self stretching

I may decide to step back at times and allow your animal to respond how they need to as they process the changes happening in their body. It is easy to fall in to the trap of feeling like you always need to be doing something but allowing the animal to work through the motions is most valuable in facilitating positive change.

The perfectionist in me often wants to work on everything but I’ve learnt that it’s like peeling layers of an onion - you can’t change everything in one session - the animal knows how much they’re ready to release - you can just make one small positive change at a time. You really do have to throw away the clock when working with animals!
