Massage is such an important tool for assisting with condition related compensations like those seen with canine arthritis!
If your dog suffers with a condition, they are more than likely compensating through their musculoskeletal system.
Get in touch with us for more information about how we can help your dogs and get booked in for a musculoskeletal assessment! 🐾
If you only have two minutes today, read these four essentials of integrative therapy. 🐾
Managing arthritis isn't just about a single sore joint - it's about supporting the entire dog.
1. Whole Body: Arthritis begins in a joint, but it quickly impacts your dog’s entire posture. Shifting weight away from the pain causes severe secondary muscle soreness elsewhere. Treating these compensatory areas is just as vital as treating the joint.
2. Targeted Movement: Stiff joints lose lubricating fluid and thicken over time. Controlled, targeted movement and professional physical therapies are essential to preserve range of motion and safely slow these physical changes down.
3. Every Budget: Integrative care isn't just for high-tech clinics. It scales to fit your lifestyle, ranging from a simple two-minute targeted home exercise routine before mealtimes, up to clinical laser or hydrotherapy treadmills.
4. Safety First: These treatments have incredible power, but unregulated or amateur care can cause real physical injury. Always verify your practitioner's qualifications, regulation, and ensure they work with your vet's explicit consent.
