Busby

Busby- Physiotherapy Notes – 30/7/25 Busby was seen for his initial appointment. He is active and bright in demeanour. His weight is good and diet controls are in place to adjust for lowered exercise tolerance. Area he is allowed access too is restricted and is majority non-slip. No access to stairs or jumping up if possible to limit spinal extension and risk of falling/losing back foot contact.

Slight cranial loading patterns displayed. Posture: Cranially loading and more onto the right hindlimb too. Occassional knuckling is seen with the hindlimbs – concurrent with his diagnosis. Able to stand unassisted and take a few steps forwards. Sit posture is good. Palpation: Spinal epaxials tender lumbar region showing trigger points, resolved with manual therapy and Laser. Caudal boarder latissimus dorsi reactive, but resolved.
