I've recently been asked how my rehab training differs from a veterinarians rehab training.
Great question.
I can't speak for all training programs, but from my own at Healing Oasis Wellness Center Dr's and technicians trained together.
130+ hours of the same classes, same tests, same testing out requirements. Strict and tough but so beneficial.
Tony the cat thinks all that training sounds exhausting.

Giving a shout out to Healing Oasis Wellness.

Since 1998-99, you were and remain the best veterinary massage and rehabilitation instruction around. I should know, I was in the first class.

Thank you all for such exceptional training. You gave me a wealth of knowledge and started me on the best career ever.

I'm forever grateful.

We are reaching peak bird migration in many parts of the United States. Remember to dim your lights for birds at night.

Artificial light is scattered across the landscape of the entire country, and birds are frequently attracted to building lighting, especially during inclement weather events during migration. Unfortunately, lights can cause confusion, disorientation, and exhaustion - directly impacting their ability to migrate. This simple act of turning off or dimming lights, can help save the lives of birds as they traverse across the country.

It's not ill-eagle, but dimming your lights isn't a birden. BOOM! We got bird migrations jokes!

Stages of surgical massage and rehab care.

Box 1. Prehab to get your pet ready for surgery with swelling reduction and whatever muscle building or maintenance we can safely do. Discuss ways to prepare your home for the upcoming post surgical needs.

Box 2. Surgery day and discharge day. Assess your pets immediate needs to address pain and swelling issues. Discuss how to safely manage your pets mobility, massage and other needs.

Box 3. Assess and plan the next 6-8 weeks of rehab to safely encourage your pets healing and safe use of the surgical limb.

Box 4. Plan an incrementally increasing exercise plan to safely return to your pets normal activity. Discuss what life changes may be best for ongoing maintenance.
