💡What is Low Level Laser Therapy? And why do we use it?

Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) — is a safe, painless, and incredibly effective tool used in veterinary physiotherapy to:

✅️ Reduce pain
✅️Speed up tissue healing
✅️ Decrease inflammation
✅️ Improve circulation
✅️ Stimulate cellular repair

💡 It works by using specific light wavelengths to stimulate the body’s natural healing response on a cellular level.

Whether your pet has arthritis, a soft tissue injury, recovering from surgery, or struggling with chronic pain — laser can help!

Most pets love their sessions — and many even fall asleep during treatment 😴

🐾 Ask us if laser therapy might be a good fit for your pet!

💪🏼🐾Paw Lifts & Weight Shifts 🐾💪🏼

This deceptively simple exercise is a powerhouse for building:
✅ Hindquarter strength
✅ Core stability & activation
✅ Balance & coordination

🐾WHY THE RAISED SURFACE?
Elevating her front paws encourages a rearward weight shift, increasing the workload on her hind limbs. It’s a subtle change that makes a big difference in muscle engagement compared to standing with all four paws flat.

🐾SPOTTING THE WEIGHT SHIFT:
Dogs will naturally shift their weight to the diagonal limb of the paw you are lifting.
When the left front paw is lifted, weight shifts backward to the right hind paw, and slides—avoiding proper weight-bearing.

‼️THIS IS A RED FLAG FOR RIGHT HIND WEAKNESS‼️

However, when the right front paw is lifted, the left hind paw stays rock solid, confirming it’s the stronger limb.

🐾THE GOAL:
A square, stable stance with weight evenly distributed. No cheating, no shortcuts—just balanced muscle development and better biomechanics.

Small tweaks = big gains. Let's build strength symmetrically. 🐕✨
