Cooper enjoyed a laser session targeting trigger points identified within his epaxial musculature🐶
Trigger points are hyper-irritable, localised areas within skeletal muscle where the muscle fibres are unable to fully relax. This results in reduced blood flow and oxygen to the area, allowing waste products to build up and increasing sensitivity and discomfort. Over time, these areas can influence how a dog moves, leading to stiffness, compensatory muscle use, reduced performance, or ongoing low-grade pain.
Laser works at a cellular level by stimulating the cells responsible for energy production, helping tissues to repair more efficiently. Improved circulation and oxygen delivery support the reduction of inflammation and muscle tension, allowing trigger points to release. By addressing these dysfunctional areas, laser therapy helps restore more comfortable, efficient movement and supports the dog’s overall musculoskeletal health.
Cooper was an absolute star throughout… with a little help from a well-placed treat to keep his spaniel brain focused ✨🐾
