1 THERAPEUTIC EXERCISES FOR EVERY DOG TOTOFIT DEBBIE GROSS TORRACA, DPT, MSPT, DIPLOMAT ABPTS, CCRP

2 THERAPEUTIC EXERCISE MOVEMENT IS LIFE TO EVERY DOG WHETHER ATHLETICS OR BASIC FUNCTION, DOGS NEED TO MOVE THERAPEUTIC EXERCISE GETS THEM THERE

3 THERAPEUTIC EXERCISE THE FUN PART OF REHAB BUT PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT FITS INTO THE MULTIMODAL APPROACH

4 MULTIMODAL APPROACH REDUCE PAIN AND INFLAMMATION RESTORE RANGE OF MOTION RESTORE STRENGTH RETURN TO FUNCTION

5 ALL AGES ALL DOGS MOVE AND NEED ACTIVITY SAFETY CONCERNS WITH PUPPIES AND SENIORS MAY STILL SAFELY EXERCISE

6 PRINCIPLES OF THERAPEUTIC EXERCISE SAFETY IF IN DOUBT DON T JUST BECAUSE YOU SAW IT ON THE INTERNET DOES NOT MAKE IT SAFE

7 ANOTHER DON T SO MANY UNSAFE THINGS ABOUT THIS PHOTO DOG COULD SLIP AND FALL POTENTIAL INJURY FROM POOR FORM POTENTIAL INJURY FROM CHRONIC ACTIVITY

8 GOAL OF THERAPEUTIC EXERCISE SAFELY AND EFFECTIVELY CHALLENGE THE DOG TO INCREASE STRENGTH, ENDURANCE AND RANGE OF MOTION DO NO HARM

9 TWO DIFFERENT GOALS

10 NEVER ANY PAIN NO PAIN NO GAIN IS NEVER AN ACCEPTABLE TERM IF ACTIVITY PAINFUL DURING OR AFTER, TOO MUCH

11 CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT ASSESS DURING EXERCISE FOR FORM AND QUALITY OF MOVEMENT CHECK IN 6 HOURS AFTER CHECK IN 24 HOURS AFTER

12 EQUIPMENT SAFETY BURST RESISTANT PHTHALATE FREE LATEX FREE CHEMICAL FREE

13 PRODUCTS WILL INDICATE IT ON LABEL IF NOT ON LABEL, CONTACT COMPANY UNLAWFUL TO USE PRODUCTS WITH CHILDREN IN THE US UNLAWFUL TO SHIP INTO CERTAIN STATES IN US ALL DUE TO THE POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS

14 TOTOFIT

15 STAY SAFE AS IN HUMANS, WE NEED TO PRACTICE THE BASICS FIRST STAND BEFORE WALK WALK BEFORE RUN

16 DECIDE GOALS RANGE OF MOTION BALANCE AND PROPRIOCEPTION STRENGTH ENDURANCE FUNCTION SPORTS PERFORMANCE

17 RANGE OF MOTION PASSIVE RANGE OF MOTION SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED BY ACTIVE RANGE OF MOTION REINFORCE THE GAINED MOVEMENTS THROUGH ACTIVITY

18 RANGE OF MOTION

19 FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENTS

20 BALANCE BALANCE IS KEY FOR ALL DOGS LIGAMENTOUS ISSUES CRANIAL CRUCIATE CANINE HIP DYSPLASIA SENIORS PUPPIES

21 WEIGHT SHIFTING MAY BEGIN WITH WHAT THE DOG CAN HANDLE WEIGHT SHIFTING ON A BALANCE BOARD SITTING, STANDING OR LYING DOWN

22 WEIGHT SHIFTING FORELIMBS UP INCREASE THE WEIGHT ON THE HINDLIMB HEAD UP OR CERVICAL EXTENSION INCREASES THE WEIGHT ON THE HINDLIMBS

23 WEIGHT SHIFTING HINDLIMBS UP INCREASES THE WEIGHT ON THE FORELIMBS HEAD DOWN INCREASES THE WEIGHT ON THE FORELIMBS

24 WEIGHT SHIFTING STANDING ON AN UNEVEN SURFACE HEAD MOVEMENTS SIDE TO SIDE HEAD MOVEMENTS UP AND DOWN MANUAL MOVEMENTS

25 WEIGHT SHIFTING FOR SPECIFIC GOALS INCREASE WEIGHT ON THE LEFT HINDLIMB POST OP, ETC.

26 WEIGHT SHIFTING INCREASE IN COMPLEXITY UNSTABLE HINDLIMB AND FORELIMB INCREASE BODY AWARENESS WITH MOVEMENT

27 INCREASED BALANCE

28 DISCOVER LEVEL SOME DOGS MAY NEED HELP BALANCING ON FLOOR STANDING FOR SHORT PERIODS OF TIME MAY BE WHAT IS NEEDED TO START

29 ASSISTED STANDING

30 STRENGTH MANY METHODS TO WORK ON STRENGTHENING DECIDE WHAT THE MAIN FOCUS IS PAIN MANAGED FIRST

31 FORELIMB STRENGTH KEY TO FORELIMB STRENGTH IS TO WATCH POSTURE ELBOWS SHOULD REMAIN POINTING BACK WHEN COMING TO SIDE, FORELIMB COMPLEX IS FATIGUING

32 FORELIMB STRENGTH HINDLIMBS UP HIGHER THAN FORELIMBS WILL INCREASE ECCENTRIC STRENGTH OF SHOULDER COMPLEX

33 HINDLIMB STRENGTH FORELIMBS UP ON A SAFE UNSTABLE SURFACE WILL INCREASE THE WEIGHT ON THE HINDLIMBS HEAD UP WILL FURTHER INCREASE THE ACTIVITY

34 HINDLIMB STRENGTH HINDLIMBS UP ON AN UNSTABLE OBJECT AND FORELIMBS UP HIGHER INCREASES THE INTENSITY OF THE EXERCISE

35 HINDLIMB STRENGTH CAN INCREASE THE INTENSITY OF THE EXERCISE BY MAKING THE MOVEMENT DYNAMIC HAVE THE DOG WALK UP A SERIES OF OBSTACLES

36 CORE STRENGTH EVERY DOG NEEDS CORE STRENGTH PUPS TO SENIORS LONG BACKED DOGS DOGS PRONE TO IVDD

37 CORE MUSCLES CORE ASSISTS WITH STANDING AND POSTURAL CONTROL IF THE CORE IS NOT THERE, THE DOG WILL HAVE TROUBLE WITH ALL MOVEMENTS

38 LOTS OF WAYS TO WORK CORE

39 CORE STRENGTH

40 CORE STRENGTH

41 CORE STRENGTH

42 CORE STRENGTH

43 ENDURANCE ACTIVITIES BETWEEN 20 AND 40 MINUTES MAY VARY WITH THE DOG WALKING, JOGGING, HIKING, RUNNING, SWIMMING

44 WALKING THE BEST EXERCISE TO BEGIN AN ENDURANCE PROGRAM EASY TO IMPLEMENT

45 LAND TREADMILLS A GREAT ALTERNATIVE TO OUTSIDE WALKING SOME DOGS TAKE VERY QUICKLY WHILE OTHERS NEED MORE ASSISTANCE MORE DIFFICULT THAN WALKING OUTSIDE SAFETY

46 UNDERWATER TREADMILLS GREAT CROSS TRAINING TOOL LEVEL OF WATER ASSISTS WITH DIFFERENT STRENGTHENING GOALS MAY BURN THREE TIMES AS MANY CALORIES AS WALKING ON LAND

47 FUNCTIONAL AND DYNAMIC

48 SUMMARY DETERMINE WHAT YOUR GOALS ARE OF THERAPEUTIC EXERCISE MAINTAIN SAFETY AT ALL TIMES DO NOT LET DOGS OVERDO PART OF THE MULTIMODAL APPROACH
