We love it when the dogs who visit us have a great time

Skye has hip dysplasia and has recently started attending physio after her vets referred her

If your dog has hip dysplasia, the right kind of exercise can actually help, not hurt! 🌟

✨ Benefits of exercise for dogs with hip dysplasia:
✔️ Strengthens muscles that support the hip joints
✔️ Improves stability and balance
✔️ Helps maintain a healthy weight (less stress on joints!)
✔️ Reduces stiffness and improves mobility
✔️ Boosts mental health and overall happiness

Low-impact activities like short, controlled walks, swimming, and gentle strengthening exercises are ideal for protecting sore hips while keeping your pup active. Always go at your dog’s pace and follow guidance from your vet or canine rehab professional.

A moving dog is a happier, healthier dog 🐕💙

🐴 Did you know your horse’s jaw could be affecting their whole body?

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) plays a huge role in chewing, swallowing, accepting the bit, and overall comfort. When this area becomes stiff or restricted, it can show up as: ▫️ Resistance to the bit
▫️ Head tilting or bracing
▫️ Difficulty flexing or bending
▫️ Tension through the poll, neck, and back

✨ How can physiotherapy help?
Equine physio can gently assess and treat TMJ stiffness using: ✔️ Soft tissue release
✔️ Joint mobilisation
✔️ Addressing poll, neck, and body compensations
✔️ Improving symmetry, relaxation, and comfort

A relaxed jaw = a more comfortable, willing, and balanced horse 💙
If your horse shows subtle signs of tension, the TMJ might be worth checking.

🐕This little cutie came to see us today

She has been diagnosed with hip dysplasia and patella luxation, both of which she would have been born with.

As she is getting a little older it is starting to bother her a bit and she has become a little weak on her back legs.

👉Today we used the LASER to help with pain relief, treated her to some soft tissue massage and used the PEMFT pad

🏋️She has also been given some home exercises to work on between session to improve her strength

Is your dog starting to struggle?

Have they been diagnosed with a condition or injury?

👉Physiotherapy can help

❓New Year New You?

If it's your aim this year to get fitter and ride stronger for your horse this year, this is an easy place to start.

🏋️In front of a mirror, or using your phone to record yourself, take a look at how well you squat.

👉Do your knees fall in? Do you wobble? Does your body compensate for your balance. These are all things that you can work on in the gym, which will ultimately help your riding.

Let your squats guide you to your weaker side and where to target during your gym sessions.

For me: R gluts, and global core is where I am starting 💪

Good luck everyone
