Dog physiotherapy in Berlin

How do you like it when people stare at your legs and look behind you when you walk past them? Yes, it also made me a little uneasy at first. But there was a good reason for all this. During the training as a dog physiotherapist, Manu and the other people learn to recognise whether a dog has difficulty walking and what signs may indicate problems or illnesses. Sometimes these are really small details and Manu really has to look very closely during the so-called gait analysis.

Manu and the other prospective physiotherapists also took a close look at my gait. Apparently I have a problem with my left hind leg, so sometimes I don't take such big steps with it and don't load it as much as my right leg - and now I have to go to an orthopaedic surgeon for this - great!

What would beautiful Lina think of me? She was there again at the seminar weekend and did not miss the opportunity to have a look at my gait analysis. Before that we both have delicious dog liver sausage - from the same tube! - licked. Yes, we are already very familiar with each other and I was very happy to spend time with her.

And then this. Back and forth and back and forth. Not only walking, but also trotting, galloping and circling, upstairs, downstairs. I wanted to show my chocolate side and now she knows that my left hind leg seems to have less muscles than my right one - what does that look like?

This insight has a positive side effect: Manu now takes care of my back and my left hind leg in a very specific way. She moves my joints very gently and regularly massages my muscles. That feels so good, because I love running and running. Whenever possible, I'm out with Manu. Of course she also accompanies me to the orthopaedic surgeon. "No matter what comes, we'll make it," she said.
