Check out Shasha’s rehab journey with us! 💫

Shasha’s owner came to us with hopes that physio can help Shasha regain some form of independence after her spine trauma. We had no idea how far Shasha will improve due to her initial presentation. Fortunately her owner came to us early - just shy of 1 month post-injury (PSA: neuro rehab shows best outcome within first 3 months of injury). We tried as much as we can to help Shasha regain her muscle function and strength, and we are so happy that Shasha has regained her walking ability! 👏🏻✨🥹

This is also thanks to her owner’s dedication and commitment to helping with the rehab exercises at home and Shasha’s willpower to get better! ❤️‍🩹

If your pet has any neurological condition, do drop us a DM or enquiry via our website! Early intervention is KEY 🔑

Nimble Paws Tips & Tricks! 🐾

Noticing your dog isn’t flexing their knees (stifles) while walking? Lots of trunk swaying? Cavaletti exercises are a great way to help! Set poles at ankle height to encourage knee flexion and build hamstring and calf strength. No poles at home? 🌱 No problem! Try short walks on grass as tall as your dog’s ankles for a free, natural alternative.

Little steps lead to big improvements! 💪🐕

Sarcopenia: The Silent Muscle Thief in Our Dogs 🐾

As dogs age, they naturally experience sarcopenia—a reduction in muscle mass and strength caused by aging alone, not linked to chronic conditions like heart or kidney failure or cancer.

This gradual “thief” often goes unnoticed until muscle loss becomes significant, but the good news is that while you can’t stop sarcopenia, you can take steps to slow it down and support your dog’s muscle health.

🐶 Recognising the Signs: Signs include reduced endurance, difficulty getting up from rest, morning stiffness, a drop in activity level, and noticeable muscle loss. Diagnosis involves clinical assessments like body and muscle scoring—or imaging such as DEXA, MRI, or CT scans.

🦴 The Muscle-Joint Connection: Reduced muscle mass may lead to increased body fat and extra stress on your dog’s joints. With less muscle strength to support body weight, arthritis progresses faster—and the cycle of muscle loss and joint strain becomes self-perpetuating.

🏋️‍♂️ Prevention and Rehabilitation:

For Young Dogs: Start young! Keep your pup active with strength-based exercises, maintain a healthy weight, and create a safe home environment to reduce joint strain and injury risk.

For Senior Dogs: While sarcopenia can’t be reversed, you CAN boost their strength with pain management, gentle strength exercises like sit-stands, non-slip surfaces for easier movement, and a high-protein diet to support muscle health.

With the right care, your dog can age gracefully, staying strong and active! 💙

🎄 Cute or Cruel? 🐾

Obesity in dogs is more than just extra fluff—it’s extra strain on their joints, extra discomfort, and extra risk for long-term health issues like arthritis. 🦴💔

👉 Looks Can Be Deceiving: While a chubby dog might seem adorable, the reality is far from cute. Obesity can seriously impact their quality of life.

👉 Built the Same, Carrying More: 🐶 An obese dog and a healthy-weight dog have the same-sized skeleton. That extra weight puts a huge burden on their joints, causing pain and mobility issues.

👉 The Arthritis Accelerator: Every extra pound adds stress to your dog’s joints, speeding up wear and tear and increasing the risk of arthritis. The best way to manage this? Weight control—and that’s something completely in your hands! 🍽️🐾

👉 The Path to a Healthier Pup: 🏋️‍♂️ Take some time to assess your dog’s Body Condition Score (BCS) and take action with:
🍽️ Controlled feeding and proper diet.
🐕 Regular, low-impact physical activity.
🩺 Physiotherapy to ease joint pain and support mobility.

This Christmas, let’s gift our pups a healthier, happier life by keeping their weight in check! 🎁

✨Rehab Post✨

Dogs usually come for rehab after spinal cord injury, but do you know physiotherapy CAN help with brain conditions like stroke and brain trauma as well? 👀

Here we have Ponzu who suffered a left sided brain trauma which left her with no awareness of her right body. At the start of her injury it was so pronounced she only left half of her food bowl untouched because of the neglect! It was difficult to rehab her right knee after knee cap surgery if she did not have any awareness of it at all.

During her rehab we tried a treatment method derived from the human physiotherapy world - using eye-patching to improve her awareness (research 🔗 below). It worked WONDERS for Ponzu. Now she can make right-sided turns and we in such a better place to start rehab for her knees! 💪🏻

In human physio world, stroke and brain injuries get intensive rehab especially in the first 3 months up to a year because that’s when most recovery occur. Our pets deserve the same treatment because there IS potential for recovery! So please don’t hesitate if your pet recently suffered from similar neurological conditions!! ⚠️

Drop us a DM if you think your pet may benefit from physio! 🐾

IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease) is a common spinal condition in dogs that can cause an unsteady gait, dragging paws, or even loss of bowel and bladder control. With early detection, physiotherapy can help manage pain and improve mobility using techniques like laser therapy, electrical stimulation, dry needling and targeted exercises.

If your dog shows any of these signs, consult your vet—early intervention is key to their comfort and recovery! Feel free to drop us a DM to find out more! 🐾

#nimblepawspet #dogrehabilitation #caninerehab #ivddawareness

Is your dog struggling to get up, run, or jump?

It could be hip dysplasia, a common condition where the hip joint doesn’t fit properly. This can lead to pain and arthritis if left untreated. But there’s hope! 💪🏻 Through physiotherapy, targeted exercises, and manual therapy, we can help your furry friend move comfortably again! 🐕💙 Early intervention is key to keeping them active and happy~

Drop us a DM if you suspect your pet is suffering from this condition! ✨

🐾 Understanding Elbow Dysplasia in Dogs 🦴

Elbow dysplasia often develops in the first year of life, especially in large breeds like Labradors, and can significantly affect mobility since dogs bear 60% of their weight on their front legs. High-impact activities and genetics are key factors. Surgery is common, but physiotherapy can make a huge difference by:

✨ Relieving pain & managing inflammation
✨ Improving mobility & joint function
✨ Strengthening muscles for support
✨ Slowing joint degeneration
✨ Supporting post-surgery recovery

With the right care, dogs with elbow dysplasia can live more comfortably! 🐕
