New Website!

It will be great if you could all go visit https://www.deltavetphysio.co.uk to see what I do.

I am looking to add blog posts, portfolio of cases, and possibly some webinars and education materials in the future - so keep visiting the page for updates!

Yesterday, I went to a practical workshop with Companion Animal Health, where we learnt about laser therapy, stance analysers and regenerative medicine such as platelet-rich plasma.

Having the opportunity to actually play with one of their laser machines, I love how easy they were to use, and how nice the laser felt. I had the opportunity to ask lots of difficult questions which they answered really well.

PRP medicine was explained so clearly about its benefits and limitations. They discussed how laser therapy post PRP injection is so beneficial, with recent studies showing significant improvements in short and long term. That has certainly changed my opinion on laser post PRP, as previously I was cautious to use laser as I didn’t know how it would impact the PRP, and didn’t want to risk any negative effects.

The stance analyser is such a cool bit of kit. Detecting even the most subtle offloading and compensations. That would certainly make exercises more targeted. It’s not for me yet, but maybe if I ever get my own clinic 🤔.

Thank you CAH for such a wonderful day. Lovely to meet you all and thank you for lunch too!

Sit-to-stands: aka puppy squats

This exercise is great to strengthen the quadricep, hamstring and gluteal muscle groups, and also to improve joint range of motion. Here’s some top tips to get the best exercise!
- Sit down backwards, stand up forwards. Moving forward around the room a little is ok, but the best form is where they can rock back and forth in the same position
- Use treats to keep engagement (keep an eye on their weight!)
- Hindlimb paws should be facing towards the front paws. If they are turned out, use the wall or a second person to encourage a more correct position.
- Quality over quantity. It often takes about 1-2 weeks to train good form in this exercise. Milo here is just starting out and very excited to do something new, his form will improve as he gets stronger and understands this exercise more. 3 good quality reps is more beneficial than 10 poor form reps.

I am in the process of changing physiotherapy software for small animal patients. Currently, you are receiving your physio reports via a PDF document, made from a word document. This is going well, but I want to invest in your experience and care. Therefore, all new reports will now be sent via the Equicantis software.

Equicantis is successfully used in my equine patients, with great feedback. You will have a new experience, including:
- Full physio reports – assessment, treatments, etc. as before but much nicer looking
- Annotated anatomical diagrams
- Exercise plans WITH VIDEOS!
- Direct Invoicing
- Appointment reminders
- Client and new pet onboarding forms all completed online
- Vet referrals are now also sent online
This software also allows us to waste less paper on forms, helping us save more trees!

What do you need to do?
You don’t need to do anything; all patients will be transferred to the new system, so the next time you receive a report from me, it will be emailed from Equicantis, not me directly.
Please note that the software is specific to dogs. However, all cats will also go onto this software as a “dog”. Equicantis will be rolling out a cat version very soon, so getting the cats onto this system now means that it will be easier to transition later.
Remember, in line with GDPR, you have the right to amend or delete your data from my database at any time. Using Equicantis makes this process simpler, but also more secure, with improved protections. If you have any concerns regarding your data, please email me.

When I first met Belle, she was struggling with some pelvic issues. She became increasingly sensitive to any touching of her hindlimbs, kicking out with clear signs of pain, to the point the farrier couldn’t touch the back feet at all! Her owner listened to this new behaviour as a way of communicating an issue, so physio was started.
On my first session I did not even attempt to perform any assessment or treatments to her back legs, but I focused on her lumbar back, gluteal fascia and sacroiliac using the mat. Immediately after her first session, she allowed the farrier to trim her back legs!
Now, 4 sessions in, she is doing so well that she allows me to lift her back legs and treat her hamstrings! And even when I hit something sore, she communicates this discomfort gently, not reacts with a kick.
This really is the reason I love my job! Such a great achievement for her ☺️

Happy Easter!

It has been a busy weekend, but what a lovely few days it’s been. Genuinely loving this weather right now.

And the great news is that all the ponies I have seen this weekend are doing so well they only need to be seen every 3-4 months!
That’s what happens when you follow exercise plans 😁.

This does mean I have more availability in May for new physiotherapy patients. Utilising electrotherapies, massage therapy, kinesiology tape and bespoke exercise plans to help achieve your goals.
