Happy new year everyone!!

What a wonderful year 2025 has been. Gained patients, unfortunately lost patients 🌈, discharged ones and made new friends.

I know some of you might want to put 2025 behind you whether it’s loss or getting over the trauma of your animal going through injury rehabilitation or post surgery. No matter what 2026 has in store we will always be here to help you, support you and advocate for you and your animal if you need it.

Happy new year and here’s to an even better 2026.

Ho Ho Ho!

Hopefully you’re all feeling abit festive and not long to go until you finish work for some down time ⭐️ (let’s face it, we’re all knackered in one form or another)

Christmas/new year hours this year - I won’t be available 23rd-27th and then away 29th-4th Jan. I’m going to aim to keep the work phone off on the non working days but will get back to you when I’m back for any appointments/treatments.

I have some availability due to cancellations between now and the 22nd but any new patients likely needing vet consent will have to hold off until Jan.

Hopefully you all get some drink in you over the holidays, feel merry and get some well earned rest!

Amazes me everyday how resilient animals are. Little Ted has a C1 fracture after an incident with another dog. In the human world for this type of injury we wouldn’t brace it but the patient would usually be stiff and sore. This little guy, other than fatigue management seems to be taking it all in his stride very happily. He’s ambulatory, has a wonderful square stand and with food does his co-ordination exercises beautifully. We’ve got a journey to go but his determination will get us over the line.

Acupuncture treatment for rotator cuff pain ⭐️ Tracey has come on so well after sustaining two rotator cuff tears this year. She works as a teacher and Initially struggled with writing on the board and marking. She’s now at work with no limitations and able to walk a very hectic and bouncy spaniel (who might have accidentally caused the injury).

Today we did Large Intestine shoulder chimney and Small intestine 11 and 12 alongside soft tissue work and ongoing rehab.

Appointments also come with great chat and life debriefs.

⭐️ Exciting news for 2026- brand new clinics starting the first Monday of every month with scope to do more depending on need at Nedlo Agility in Sherfield English.

This is a great chance for sporting or working dogs due to facilities. It means we can provide sport specific assessments with the indoor and outdoor space.

You don’t have to be a member of Nedlo nor do you have to do agility. Any sport and ability is welcome and all appointments will be tailored to your dog’s needs.

The role is to support your dog and maintain performance and pick up any ni**les along the way. Conditioning programmes are also available.

All appointment prices are on the website www.vaultphysiotherapy.com .

⭐️ Milo ⭐️

Milo is the one that has the biggest heart, full of energy and wants to please. He’s a flyball boy who is still learning the ropes and used to be seen every 3-4months. We began to notice he was needing physio a bit more frequently, he would just get ‘that little bit tighter’, ‘that little bit more anxious’ when he felt a ni**le and sometimes his team mates would notice changes in his jump style. When he was younger he fractured his tibial crest which needed stabilising and I think although now fixed his default setting is to just hold off end range stifle extension at times, not helped by the amount of callus formation cranially. We now see him monthly to keep him flexible using manual therapy, massage and active stretching. We also work on compound exercises for conditioning.

He loves to work and once he’s concentrating he’s a dream to work with. He’s training well, beautifully lean and his owner is absolutely all over him with identifying when he’s not quite right.

Pepper came in for her routine physio review to support her with her agility. We have been working on the goal of strengthening and activating her thoracic sling during function. She is the sweetest little dog that does anything she’s asked of. Well done Pepper!

This little happy chap Jack passed away this week after a short but tough fight with cancer. It’s a pleasure to have a part to play in any dog’s journey and getting to know you all. To be able get 1:1 time with you and your dogs (in this case for over a year) I genuinely feel like I get to know you all as owners but then friends. When suddenly the original driver that linked us has gone it all hits very hard.

It always remains my goal to deliver the best care I can for your animals, advocate for them and be there for you as people. Whether they have passed on or still with us, I hope the contact stays ❤️

Lots of heavenly hugs to Jack and Buzz who have both passed on in the last few months. Thinking of you Jac.

Muscle fibre types in dogs 💪🏼

Research in 2023 looked at muscle fibre types in 16 breeds of dogs - in total a sample size of 35.

Lots of interesting findings about breed comparisons were made (especially how a chihuahua and a grey hound have more common features than I realised)

But it’s a great read for understanding muscle fibre types in dogs and ultimately reinforcing how impressive and different their muscle make up is to humans. It’s also a reminder how insane their oxidative and glycolytic capacities are, meaning how hard they can push themselves and how quickly they can recover after intense exercise.
