This is Tippy, the tripawd sweetheart! ๐พ ๐ฑ โค๏ธ ๐ป
Poor Tippy had her right foreleg removed after a traumatic injury when she was just 4 months old ๐ช
She also faces daily issues with 2 different grades of luxating patellas in her hind legs ๐
We are working on keeping her as comfy and as pain-free as possible with a tailored rehab and home exercise plan! ๐ซถ โจ๏ธ ๐พ
Some exercises and treatments include:
๐ weight shifting
๐ cavaletti poles
๐ massage through her hypertonic (tight) areas, especially her hamstrings! This also helps relax and calm Tippy and increases her lymphatic drainage and circulation.
๐ Trigger point release or ischamic compression for her ouchy trigger points along her back
๐ PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic frequency) to reduce inflammation, increase vasodilation, and benefit her pain transduction, which help keep her comfortable and aliviate some of her pain.
She has also just made her debut on TV and into the celebrity world, appearing in the new Standard Life advert, so if you see her, let me know!! ๐โค๏ธ๐๐ฌ ๐ฝ
If you would like any more info on rehabilitation or treatment plans, just drop me a message! ๐ฆฎ๐๐ฆ๐บ
