Rudy recently strained his hip flexor while swimming and playing on the beach. He is already improving but we want to make sure he fully recovers and doesn't re-injure it further. We are going to use laser and massage to help with the healing process of the muscle tissue. Rudy also has some stretching and stability exercises to work on that will aid in his recovery and prevent muscle loss. Rudy was the best boy during his assessment and deserved all the treats!

Juneau is a beautiful, friendly, sweet girl! She has had mild lameness in her hind end off and on throughout her life that has recently progressed. Juneau has stiffness in her pelvis and lumbar spine that does not allow her to extend properly. This has caused an abnormal gait pattern and sitting posture. It has also caused her to recently sprain her CCL and strain her hip flexor. We are going to work on Juneau's mobility in her spine and pelvis, as well as strength in her hind end to help prevent further injuries down the road.

Meet Joey, this lovely and very friendly 4 year old Pug!

His owners contacted CanineTech Rehab following an acute bout of pain in which he started to drag his hind limbs. Thankfully, within a couple of days, he was using his hind end again, but still favors his left hind limb.

After assessing Joey, we found a lot of stiffness in his low back and pelvis. We are going to work on improving Joey's movement through his spine and reduce his pain to help him walk better and get him back to playing with his sibling pugs.

Welcome Joey!

Stella was a very good girl during her assessment with CanineTech Rehab! Stella has a mild partial tear of her CCL. She is not showing any signs of pain or limitations but her owners want to be proactive in her care. We are going to work on strength and stability in her hind legs as well as improving her gait pattern and awareness of her hind end. We want to try to avoid further tearing of the CCL and slow any degenerative changes in her knee. Stella was a willing participant in her exercises, as long as treats were provided!

How cute is Benny?! Benny lost one of his front legs in an accident when he was younger. He has managed well over the years but walking on 3 legs has caused increased stress on his joints. He has developed osteoarthritis as well as intervertebral disc disease with mild nerve impingement. Benny recently tried to chase after a rabbit and caused a flare of back pain as well as increased impingement of the nerves in his hind legs. We are going to work on decreasing his pain as well as maintaining mobility in his joints and strength in his muscles. We want to try to reduce the increased stress on his joints as he continues to age.

Reggie's owners are being proactive in his mobility and health as he ages. Reggie is 9 and is starting to show some signs of his age, such as a little more difficulty jumping into the car. Reggie's owners are firm believers in physio and thus wanted to get him checked out to see if there were are problems they could work on and help him with through the aging process. Reggie has some mild arthritis and degenerative changes that are causing some stiffness in his spine and hips. He now has an exercise program to help maintain his mobility and strength. Reggie was a very good boy and was very keen to do his exercises when there was food involved!

Cali has joined the CanineTech Rehab pack! Cali has stopped jumping up on furniture and doesn't want to stretch her back legs. Cali has intervertebral disc disease in her lumbar spine causing pain in her back as well as mild nerve irritation. She is avoiding jumping and extending in her back to prevent pain. We are going to work on decreasing her pain and improving the mobility in her spine and pelvis. This will make Cali more comfortable and hopefully get her back to cuddling on the couch with her humans!

Harley was such a good girl for her assessment with CanineTech Rehab! Harley has a sprain of her CCL, mild laxity of her patella and hyperextension of her knee. She also has decreased muscle mass in her hind leg. Harley's confirmation and genetics is a contributing factor to her knee injury. Harley has strengthening and weight bearing exercises to work on. We need to increase the strength and stability in her hind leg to prevent further injuries and to help with the healing process.

This is Rosie, our most recent graduate from CanineTech Rehab!
Rosie's owners originally reached because she was experiencing pain and lameness in her left hindlimb. She had lost a lot of strength through her left hip following surgery on her knee.
Rosie has gained a lot of her strength and stability back around her left hip and no longer has pain or weakness when moving around.
At first, Rosie was very nervous. But, over the course of her rehab, Rosie became a lot more comfortable and did amazing with her treatments!
Great job Rosie!

Jiggs and Maggie were chilling during Jiggs' physio assessment! Jiggs has hip dysplasia. He was diagnosed as a puppy and has done really well over the years. He is now 10 and struggling a little more with his hind end. He has pain with certain movements and has decreased strength in his hind legs. He compensates by putting more weight on his front legs which is causing some wear and tear in his shoulders. We are going to work on pain management, strengthening and proprioception in his hind legs. This will hopefully take some stain off his front legs as well. Jiggs was such a good boy during his assessment. He was even willing to participate in his exercises, even though he is not very food motivated!

Zoey is 11 years old and has been getting weaker in her hind end, which is putting more strain on her front end. In the past, Zoey has had TPLOs on both hind legs for CCL tears. She now has degenerative changes in her spine with mild nerve irritation resulting in progressive weakness in her hind legs. She also has biceps tendinitis due to overusing her front legs. Zoey has exercises to work on to help increase her strength and proprioception. We are going to work on keeping Zoey strong and active in her older years. Zoey is a sweet, gentle girl who was a perfect participant in her physio!

Izzy has a partial tear of her CCL. She is still very active but has been limping more on her hind leg. We are going to try a conservative approach to see if we can get her leg to heal without surgery. Surgery is still an option if we do not get the results we are looking for. We are going to focus on restricted activity, strengthening of her hind leg and increasing her weight bearing and proprioception. Izzy is a very happy, sweet girl who wants to get back to her active lifestyle.
