Bulging Epaxials
Posted: Sat Mar 09, 2019 4:22 am
Hello Laurie
I am a DVM working on my Master's degree in Chinese Medicine through the Chi Institute of Traditional
Chinese Veterinary Medicine. I was perusing the internet for possible research topics and came across you website.
Actually, it was your blog on lumbar epaxial knot in dogs, the main idea for my thesis at this time.
My project is looking at epaxial lumbar muscle knots in dogs and seeks to determine limits in mobility from these as well as
response to massage therapy. Some of these dogs are overweight, others are not, and may even be underweight.
I hear other clinicians often refer to these as fat pads that are identified via visualization only, never palpated.
I am interested in hearing more about your theory on spondylosis in these animals. It is my experience too that
these knots occur more frequently in older dogs but I have been successful in massaging them away. They often
return after several weeks if patients are not stretched regularly.
Thank you
CH
