I have enjoyed working through my Christmas holidays in Belgium :-D. I will be back in Nottingham 09/01/2017. If you wish to book in for an appointment, contact me here or by email (nina@nvpt.co.uk). In the picture is Nena, a wonderful Golden-Labrador-Boxer mix who had some muscle tightness around her shoulders and lower back. After massage and phototherapy, her back was stretched out with a few "cookie stretches" which she absolutely loved.

I had an absolutely fantastic day with Wiltshire Wet Leos on Sunday. Thank you Bonnie for organizing the day! It was interesting going through the dogs as each of them had slightly different issues and slightly different things to work on. The dogs were lovely, in great condition, very compliant and very affectionate. It wouldn't be a day with Leos and a Newf without coming home with a few extra drool stains and fur tufts :-D. The owners were brilliant as well, very eager to learn what they can do for their dogs. I hope the soft tissue work and prescribed exercises will help the dogs both in their everyday lives and come next waterwork season. I look forward to seeing them again! If any other working groups wish to book a physiotherapy clinic, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMFT) is a great tool for a physiotherapist to complement traditional physiotherapy. PEMFT uses electrical energy to direct a series of magnetic pulses into tissues affecting cellular function. A PEMFT machine has a variety of settings which determine the amount of energy and pulse frequency used for treatment. The variety in settings allows for targeted treatment as different tissues respond to different frequencies and energy amounts. I regularly use PEMFT for neurological conditions, chronic pain, muscular issues and arthritic joints. This is a great article which shows that regular PEMFT treatments decreased pain and improved functional performance in patients with osteoarthritis: http://www.biomagnetica.com.br/docs/TheJournalOfRheumatology_USA_1993.pdf Data absolutely loves our PEMFT sessions. I use the chronic pain setting to relax her and help with any lingering aches, followed by increased blood flow setting to target her muscles and joints.
