💫Releases are NOT required.💫
Sure, myself and animal owners alike, LOVE changes that happen often & in front of our own eyes (licking, chewing, sighing, yawning, softening of the eye, dropping the head, etc)- but some animals process differently and others take time.
Following a first adjustment, I usually recommend 48 hours off of "work". That doesn't mean stall/crate rest... It means allowing the animal to move on their own volition without external stresses as they get to know a "new normal" and as their nervous system heals.
Most often, we notice anywhere from a little to a lot of improvement in their movement, pain and demeanor even after the first visit. This is MORE of an indication of the choice of an effective therapy rather than simply enjoying the moment. 🫶
[PS: the "pops" aren't required either, but that's a post for another day 😉]
