Damit der Hund lange gesund im Sport laufen kann muss auf ein ausgewogenes Training geachtet werden. Today there is a wide variety of dog sports that dog owners can choose between. But no matter what sport is to be practiced, the dog must not be harmed. To ensure this, the dog must be suitable for its sport and it must be physically prepared. As part of the sports dog care, the actual condition of the dog is evaluated, including an exterior assessment (is my dog built for the respective sport?) and willingness to perform, as well as the training supervised. A training plan is created to match this, with exercises for muscle building and / or conditioning training and / or coordination training, adapted to the sporting requirements.

Die Physiotherapie befasst sich mit der Muskulatur, dem Bindegewebe und den Gelenken. Es werden verschieden Massage- und Mobilisationstechniken eingesetzt. Physical Therapy In physiotherapy, the entire musculoskeletal system with muscles, tendons, ligaments, connective tissue and joints is considered. All of these individual units are networked with one another and form a complex mechanism. Even the smallest tension or joint issue can lead to major dysfunctions. Affected animals often show a limited range of motion and ability to perform and/or a reduced general well-being. I work almost exclusively with my hands and use various massage and mobilization techniques. But every animal is different and every disease requires different therapeutic approaches and so different devices are included. Physiotherapy offer classic massage active and passive mobilization Muscle building and active exercise therapy Gait training and proprioception training Magnetic field therapy Electro therapy Laser therapy Dry needling for horses Kinesio taping Moor wraps Novafon Treatment of neurological failures Tellington TTouches and body straps

Wie genau sieht so eine Behandlung in der ganzheitlichen Physiotherapie aus? Treatment Here I give you an overview of the typical course of a treatment. However, this list is not a recipe that can be applied to every animal. The procedure is adapted to the patient and therefore no two treatments are the same. Anamnesis At the beginning of a treatment there is an anamnesis interview. This includes questions about the keeping and usage of the animal. The animal's medical history is also needed. Medical reports and x-rays from the vet are important for the successful treatment of certain health conditions. Inspection After the conversation, I look at your animal in a standing position. How is the general condition? The muscling? Does the animal have conformational errors? Gait analysis Next I look at your animal while walking. Usually I look at the sequence of movements in walk and trot. Variations in the nature of the ground, tight turns and walking backwards contribute to a more detailed analysis. Palpation and joint testing Now I'll palpate your animal. I feel for warm spots, swelling, tension, changes in and under the skin, as well as pain. Then I test the joints of the limbs as well as the head and spine for mobility. Therapy As soon as I have an overview of the problem areas of your animal, I can start the treatment. The focus is on the patient's well-being. A calm atmosphere helps the animal to focus on the treatment and to tell me what feels good. Depending on the patient, I combine techniques from physiotherapy and chiropractic. Further measures Finally, I will summarize my findings for you and will be happy to give you advice on how to continue working with your animal. If necessary, I recommend that you consult other experts (veterinarian, trainer, hoof trimmer, etc.). Special with the horse Especially when horse owners tell me that certain problems occur only or mainly while riding, it is worth looking at the equipment and the horse under the rider.

Hier erfahrt ihr mehr über mich und meine Qualifikationen. About me My passion for animals made me decide to become an animal physiotherapist. I grew up mainly with cats, later also with the first family dog, the golden retriever Rusty. Riding has been my favorite hobby since I was allowed to start at the age of 11. I started as a show jumper and after a few years I mutated into a dressage freak. In the meantime, I particularly enjoy working with young horses or correction horses. Since 2020, the shepherd lady May has enriched my life and together we venture into the world of dog sports, from agility to canicross. In April 2022 a little surprise tumbled into my life and Cody the Cocker Spaniel moved in. Due to a growth disorder that led to a luxating patella, several veterinarians wanted to euthanize him. I was convinced that he could be helped and I took him in without further ado. Together, the two ensure that I never get bored. Primary and Further Education The knowledge I have learned and the manual techniques enable me to increase the well-being of the animal and give it more joy in movement. I always enjoy seeing positive changes in my patients. That's why I'm always trying to acquire new knowledge, whether through specialist literature or attending seminars. 2016 - 2018: Studies in animal physiotherapy for horses and dogs at the Academy for Animal Naturopathy (ATM) 2017-2018: Studies chiropractic for horses and dogs at the ATM 2019-2021: Qualification course to become a horse specialist at the European Horse Academy 2020- : Studies in acupuncture and naturopathy for horses, dogs and cats at the ATM 2020- : Studies in dog sport sciences at the ATM 06/09/2018: The Tellington TTouch method basic course with Skara Günther 05/30/2019: Seminar on leech therapy with Georg Moser (animal therapy center) 26.10.-27.10.2019: Dry needling for horses with Dr. re. of course Jeanette Rudolph (Vetwissen) August 2nd, 2020: Kinesio taping for horses with Esther Weber-Voigt 08/27/2020: Kinesio taping for dogs with Dr. Sabine Mai (Dogtisch Academy) January 2021: Webinar "Active Training in Physiotherapy" with Carmen Heritier March 18th, 2021: Webinar "Little moppel - overweight animals" with veterinarian Nina Blaschke 03/30/2021 and 04/06/2021: Webinar "Understanding X-ray images" with veterinarian Kim Übermuth 13.11.-14.11.2021: VetScreen laboratory basic seminar 01/13/2022: "Athletes as lifesavers - rescue dogs in prevention and therapy" with veterinarian Dr Juliane Waas February 12-13, 2022: VetScreen laboratory advanced seminar April 2022: Naturopathy consultant for dogs with Paulina Adamczyk (Dogtisch Akademie) November 14, 2020: Participation in the 3rd Animal Physiotherapists Conference with specialist lectures on mycotherapy, cupping therapy, trigger point treatment, physio-riding and orthopedic acupuncture German Riding Badge of the KL.

Akupunktur ist eine Jahrtausende alte Medizin, die den Körper wieder in Harmonie bringt Acupuncture is part of ancient Chinese medicine. It is based on the principle that there are different channels in the body through which the life energy Qi flows. If the flow of energy is disturbed, the body can no longer work properly. The patient gets sick. By placing thin needles, acupressure (with the hands), lasers or similar tools, the flow of energy can be improved again. Although the musculoskeletal system can also be supported, other illnesses can also be treated in this way, often also those where Western medicine reaches its limits. The goal is to treat the body as a whole and bring it back into balance. The animals enjoy it and sometimes relax as well. To play, press and hold the enter key. To stop, release the enter key.

Achtung! Die Blutegeltherapie ist nur noch bedingt einsetzbar beim Tier. Dennoch sind die kleinen Blutsauger zu erstaunlichen Dingen fähig. Leech therapy These little bloodsuckers are now also part of my therapy toolbox. Leeches have been used for therapeutic purposes for hundreds of years. The reason: the many active substances in the leech's saliva, including hirudin and calin. Blood clotting is inhibited and the blood vessels expand. The blood circulation is stimulated, there is a gentle bloodletting, the lymph flow is improved. Leech treatment takes an average of 30 minutes, but bleeding can last up to 12 hours. Important for treatment: leeches are a bit fussy and sensitive and don't just bite everyone. Shampoos, fly sprays, tick remedies, but also antibiotics and other drugs in the patient's blood can interfere with the treatment. Therefore, such agents or medications should not be used for at least 48 hours before treatment. Leeches can be used for many issues, including tendon injuries, hip dysplasia, laminitis, nerve inflammation, spondylosis, osteoarthritis and patellar dislocations.
