SLOW is just as important (if not more!) as fast! In fact, slow makes fast! 😂
Why Does Your Dog Need Slow Movement Exercises?

If you’ve done fitness training with your dog, then you probably know that doing the exercises slowly and with great control is super important in order for the exercises to give you the benefits yo...
Know your body conditions! especially for high intensity sporting dogs, they still need a layer of fat and good muscle tone to race.The International Sled Dog Veterinary Medical Association published this 'real pictures' version of Body Condition Score Guidelines! It's a keeper!

Human patients living with diseases like arthritis that cause chronic pain are encouraged to take up a hobby because doing something you enjoy can distract you from feeling pain and also release endorphins, which can temporarily damped pain signals. 👍![]()

The same is true for our dogs! ![]()

A lot of older dogs may be left to sit at home in their bed with little to occupy them and this boredom leads to feeling more pain!! 😢![]()

Something as simple as an enrichment or feeding toy can make a big difference to these dogs. ![]()

The effect of laser radiation on tissues is called photobiomodulation. In translation - photons (light) activate a chain of biochemical responses in target cells, stimulating tissue cell activity and improving cell metabolism!![]()

Laser therapy helps reduce inflammation and edema by reducing certain inflammatory markers and activating moderate vasodilatation ➡️ which will increase tissue repair and aid in pain management!![]()
Local analgesic effect is achieved both by reduced edema and neural pain-inhibition.![]()

But we use it often also after manual therapy in healthy sporting dogs! We especially like to apply it to trigger points and areas of increased muscle tensions to accelerate regeneration after our work. And our clients really enjoy their laser session, too! 🙂 🐾![]()

☀️ 𝗛𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 is indicated when dealing with chronic degenerative diseases such as arthritis and spondylosis. It is also useful when muscle tension is present as well as before massage and therapeutic exercises. Heat increases blood circulation, extensibility of fibrous tissue, reduces muscle tension, increases nerve conduction velocity and slightly reduces pain. ![]()
Using heat packs is most common with duration of 15-20 minutes, and can be used 2-3 times a day.![]()
![]()
☃️ When dealing with acute inflammation, open wounds and other trauma, arthritis flare ups and postoperative care, the 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 comes in use. Cold will cause constriction of blood vessels, decrease cell metabolism, reduce pain as a result of slower nerve conduction and decreased production of pain mediators. Cold packs or ice packs (these need to be wrapped in a towel) can be applied for 10-20 minutes, 2-3 times a day.
