Milo

Milo Sutcliffe – Physiotherapy Notes 16/10/24 Milo is continuing pain medication and is bright alert and happy. Coping well on 20 min 2x a day walks with no adverse effects noted. Weight is still very good and being monitored. Owner reports Milo is better in terms of stamina but no notable difference from his physiotherapy yet –we have eliminated the compensations – now can work on the root cause. Reduction on muscle mass was seen globally in the limbs. Still some signs of decreased muscular activity and tone. Posture with the forelimbs is markedly improved ! Much better angle and positioning. Nobably less shoulder tension and restrictions. Resistance met mildly with left forelimb protraction. Mild crepitus present in both carpal joints but improved drastically from last visit. Carpal valgus posture improved right forelimb. - Forelimb stretches only needed 2x a week moving forwards When sitting the left hindlimb was also abducted and the right hindlimb off-loaded from the sit to stand transition. Plantigrade stance hugely improved since last visit, more mobile and confident with placement. Patella instability seen right hindlimb when over extending. Points of note    Walking 25 minutes 2x a day from next week then increase to 30min 2x a day. Continue to weight food out and reduce if needed to include treat ration Reassess in a few weeks – extremely positive changes happening in terms of body function, this will translate to muscle development once the groundwork is in place.  Exercises horsestohoundsphysio@gmail.com www.horsestohoundsphysio.co.uk 07729002162 horsestohoundsphysio@gmail.com www.horsestohoundsphysio.co.uk 07729002162 horsestohoundsphysio@gmail.com www.horsestohoundsphysio.co.uk 07729002162 15 minutes circuit training 2 mins Gentle turns Left 2 mins Gentle turns Right 1 mins Back up 5 mins Sit stand with Rocking 2 mins 2 mins Gentle turns Left Gentle turns Right 1 mins Crawling horsestohoundsphysio@gmail.com www.horsestohoundsphysio.co.uk 07729002162
