๐Ÿง Did you knowโ€ฆ your dogโ€™s standing posture can reveal hidden weaknesses? ๐Ÿพ

Itโ€™s true! When your dog stands still, you can spot shifts, wobbles, and even muscle imbalances youโ€™d miss during movement. Thatโ€™s why the one foundation K9Yoga exercise every dog needs is:
โœจ Stand Strong โœจ
This powerful posture practice helps your dog:
๐Ÿ”น Build core strength
๐Ÿ”น Improve body awareness
๐Ÿ”น Develop balance + confidence
It's not โ€œjust standingโ€ โ€” itโ€™s smart stability training from the inside out ๐Ÿ’ช - and it's science!!!
Join K9Yoga this month and learn how to make your dogโ€™s stand their superpower.

Before Your Next Agility Run: Watch This to Protect Your Dog!
Agility is a strenuous sport that demands a lot from our dogs - physically and mentally. The physical strain from training and competition can lead to injury, pain, and joint damage.
But there are things you can do to improve your dog's physical resilience, and make sure they remain a healthy, happy canine athlete for longer.

๐Ÿพ๐ŸŒ International Pain Self-Management Week 3 - 8 February 2025 ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿพ

Chronic pain isnโ€™t just a human struggleโ€”our dogs experience it too. But hereโ€™s the good news: you can play a powerful role in helping your dog manage pain and build resilience! ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ช

๐Ÿ”‘ 3 Keys to Supporting Your Dogโ€™s Pain Self-Management:
โœ… Movement is Medicine โ€“ Gentle, enjoyable movement keeps joints mobile and muscles strong. Try slow walks, guided stretches, or even K9Yoga!
โœ… Mindset Matters โ€“ Pain can be frustrating, but staying positive and focusing on what your dog can do (instead of what they canโ€™t) makes a big difference.
โœ… Small Changes, Big Impact โ€“ Soft bedding, easy-access water bowls, and non-slip mats help reduce daily strain and discomfort.

๐Ÿ’ก This week, take a moment to observe your dogโ€”are they moving differently, hesitating on stairs, or reluctant to play? These could be subtle signs of pain. You are their best advocate! ๐Ÿ•โค๏ธ

Today, we celebrate a century of physiotherapy in South Africa!

Exactly 100 years ago, the foundation was laid for a profession that has since transformed countless lives. This is a day to honour the pioneers who paved the way, the milestones achieved, and every physiotherapist who has contributed to this legacy of care and innovation.

Together, weโ€™ve made physiotherapy a cornerstone of health and wellness, and we couldnโ€™t have done it without your passion and dedication.

Letโ€™s take this moment to reflect on our incredible journey and look forward to the future with excitement and purpose. Hereโ€™s to another century of moving lives forward!

Happy 100th birthday to the physiotherapy profession!

Yours in physiotherapy
