Shockwave - focused vs radial

Hi 😊 At the moment a shockwave unit is on top of my wish list. I’ve done some research and also read your Newsletters on the topic. However I still can’t decide wether I ought to go for a focused or radial shockwave unit. As I work in a Veterinary practice I have the option of sedating the animals f...

Radiofrequency-induced thermal capsulorraphy

Re: Infraspinatus injury?

Thank you for your input :) I changed the massage with myofascial release and did the infraspinatus stretch (which he thought was quite uncomfortable initially).

Re: Acupuncture training

Perhaps a bit far to travel if you're in the US, but I recommend the aupuncture courses run by Longview CPD (Samantha Lindley); http://www.longviewveterinaryservices.com/cpd/western_veterinary_acupuncture.php. You can then do a GP (or Nurses) certificate through the European School of Veterinary Pos...
