🎃🐶🍬TRICK FOR TREAT!🍬🐶🎃

Here’s Clover 🍀 practicing one of her tricks (exercises) in exchange for a treat! 😋

👉 Physiotherapy isn’t just for old or injured pets! 🐎🐈‍⬛🐕

Physiotherapy is beneficial for animals of any age - introducing strength and conditioning in young animals is a great way to help their musculoskeletal health as they go through life and age into their geriatric years. Exercise to promote strength and flexibility also helps reduce the risk of injury and improves joint health. 💪

Although Clover is only 2 years old, I regularly carry out strength and conditioning with her, as labradors are very prone to joint disease. I want to ensure she enjoys a joint-pain free life for as long as possible, which is why we have regular physio sessions to help keep her strong and supple! She also loves to learn new tricks and is always keen to work for a food (typical lab!), so she always enjoys our sessions, and it is a great opportunity for more bonding time as a bonus. 🥰

Feel free to get in touch if you’re curious about physio for your pet!

Last week I attended the IRVAP (the Institute of Registered Veterinary and Animal Therapists) conference for a day of CPD (continued professional development). 👩‍🏫
There were some excellent topics covered, my favourites including the use of splints in dogs, how bridle fit affects horses and the effect that stress can have on healing and recovery of zoo animals (and how we can extrapolate this to domestic animals). 🐕🐎🦍🦎

As a member of IRVAP and NAVP (the National Association of Veterinary Physiotherapists), I adhere to a code of conduct that includes completing at least 35 hours of CPD every year. This means that I can stay up to date with the science and medicine, as well as continue to learn and improve as a veterinary physiotherapist throughout my career.

I plan to do some further study in the use of supportive orthotics in dogs, and cats if I can find any information, so watch this space!

We’re back!

Thank you for being patient with me after a very hectic summer and some MUCH needed time off over the last few weeks.

I have quite the backlog of admin to work my way through, which I will be doing over the next few days. I will also be getting in touch with any enquiries for appointments - I know there are are several of you who have been in touch recently and I will get back to you over the coming days.

Clients old and new - please accept my apologies for being so slow the last few months! I promise I will be better as I get myself re-established and back into the swing of things. I hope to be in a position to be able to take on new clients with their pets by the end of this month/ beginning of November.

Again, thank you so much for your patience and I hope to see you and your animal companions soon! 🐎🫏🐕🐈‍⬛

Getting bits ready for the North Devon Show this morning before I go to work, when I turn around to find Clover has managed to steal a toy when I wasn’t looking!

At least I know everything I’ve chosen has been approved by in-house Labrador quality control services… 😂🐶
