Why should I maintain regular consults with our complementary therapists?
I sometimes get asked this question.
As someone who's dogs are seen roughly monthly I can personally vouch, anecdotally, for the benefits.
Case Study 1: Jet, not a Sports dog as such. Struggling to get up. Clearly in pain. A vet visit resulted in him growling and attempting to bite
(highly unusual) behaviour for him! We were prescribed some painkillers and advised to return if no better over the weekend. As regulars to Phoenix Canine Therapies (vet consent forms on file) we were incredibly grateful to Jo for squeezing him into a lucky cancellation...Jet KNOWS AND TRUSTS her and a huge Myafascial release during treatment saw him 80% better and literally relaxing before our eyes. A couple of treatments in quick succession and he was fine.
Case Study 2: Ruby - Champ level Agility Dog, puts major stresses and strains on her body through working Thankfully our own Trainers are quick to spot changes in her stride or jumping action will before they become dropped poles. Tangible benefits of treatment include fewer
strides on the Dogwalk for example. I'm very grateful to have Serena Bower and Jo locally to help keep our dogs fit for their activities.
Coupled with regular Conditioning this can improve their performance, quality of life and keep them pain free for longer.
