Good luck Karen Shutler and Finn!

Here’s Jacob’s Finn on Saturday enjoying the after glow of his physio session on the run down to HOYS! Karen and Finn have been remarkable over the years with real talent and skill to progress to reach the amazing height of the Open Heavyweight Hunter as an independent home produced at HOYS this year!

I’ve been lucky enough to be part of Finn’s team as the Physio for a few years and it’s been a amazing to support Karen in taking this gentle giant and turning him into, in my opinion, a champ! I can’t wait to hear how it goes Karen!

Last night I had the pleasure of presenting to the Animal Sciences society at the University of Lincoln talking about Veterinary Physiotherapy, the purpose and the different techniques we use. I got to show off some of my equipment as well as discuss how we fit in the veterinary and animal sciences industry and where we may go and answer some insightful questions.

As is no surprise to anybody who knows me I forgot to get any pictures in the moment, I got far to excited talking and presenting, so you will have to live with some screen shots of my presentation but it was a wonderful time speaking about my work, the industry and my passion in front of engaged students!

I got to see one of my favourite clients recently, you’re all my favourites frankly I love this work, who had a little accident and need some TLC and a check over. He’s such a big gentle giant and puts up with so much but because he knows it’s to help. Some manual work to relax the muscle tension and make sure he’s got full function and prolonging the treat as well as giving him some stability with the tape using the elasticity of the tape and his own proprioception he’s great and ready to get back to work!

I love what I do and would love to help you so get on the phone and give me a call to help with injuries, rehabilitation, performance and maintenance!

On the catch up from last years skills I’m happy to announce I’ve been studying the art of Kinesiology taping! I completed an initial course back in September and have since spent time studying and going through the research and work of practitioners to make sure I’m running down the right route.

I’m happy to say though it’s now part of the tool kit. It’s an effective tool to prolong the effects of treatment, support the body’s healing and recovery and can help support improved performance. Not to mention who doesn’t want neon racing stripes on their best friend, I know I look cool.

P.S. my alignment is improving I promise!

Merry Christmas to all my clients and those considering my services! I've taken a couple of days off, but I'm looking forward to catching up in the new year. Wishing you all a wonderful break and a happy new year, filled with joy and love for you and your pets. Here's a cheeky photo of me in my casuals. If your furry friends need any help, don't hesitate to reach out

Hi everybody! I got to do a thing!

I was really honoured just over a week ago to host a CPD event for the NAVP where I got to talk about one of my major interest and the primary work when I worked for The AnImal Health Trust. Equine Water Tredamills!

Since 2015 I have been part of a team investigating their use and what happens to your horse on a water treadmill and I got to spend a couple hours summarising the work and sharing with fellow professionals some of the most important details and things to look out for when using them and I loved it!

CPD as a professional is so important and being able to provide knowledge based from my experience in the field is such a great experience. I hope those who attended enjoyed it and learnt from it and if you’d like to know more then please get in contact with me on:

‼️‼️‼️New Research‼️‼️‼️

We’re back with another study publication! Here’s another paper from the team I’m so lucky to be a part of on the effects of Long Term Water Treadmill exercise on muscle development with a comparison to a group doing matched type training but without the Water Treadmill.

This was a really interesting aspect of the study and I encourage you all to give it a read especially as it’s OPEN ACCESS so you can get access completely free.

Things like this are some of the proudest parts of my career where I’ve not only spent time studying relevant subjects to my work as your Vet Physio but also working with amazing people to create the knowledge that informs your animals care. If you’d like to know more or have any questions about my work or my services please don’t hesitate to get in contact.

Here’s a link directly to where you can download or read the paper online: https://www.mdpi.com/2076-2615/15/16/2426

Hi to all the clients and people who have kindly followed my page and business and those who just happen to come across this page in the wild I have a question for you all.

What are some aspects or topics of Veterinary Physiotherapy, electrotherapies and the surrounding profession you’d like to understand or have explained?

I’m a very lucky individual that prior to becomeing a Vet Physio I had a career in Orthopaedic Research, as I know a lot of my clients have heard about 😂, working with some amazing researchers that taught me to be literate in research but I’m also a very practical man so I’d like topics that your curious about and write up some posts looking at the science and the practical side from my point of view.

If you want to know something then send it through!

Happy New year to you all!

I was joined by today in treating some of my clients and it was one of the best days of work I’ve had in a while!

Self Employed Veterinary Physiotherapy can be a professionally lonely job unless you’re in clinic and it’s awesome to bounce ideas off a colleague every once in a while, I don’t want to be blinkered by my experiences, and even better if it’s with a friend!

Please check Liene out and if you’re in the Manchester and Lake District area consider contacting her for a session. I can tell you you won’t be disappointed.

If you’re also interested in having a session with myself please don’t hesitate to contact me and I will happily book you in!
