2011 EVENTS
The National Association of Registered Canine Hydrotherapists (NARCH)
On the 24th July 2011 Maruska Aylward presented at NARCH at the University of Surrey, Guildford.
This was their 3rd education seminar and annual general meeting. Maruska was one of 5 speakers who presented on the day and presented about humeral condylar fractures in spaniels. She discussed a case study that was referred to her from Davies Veterinary Specialists.
In this case, skilled surgery was required to repair a complex y-fracture of the distal humeral condyle. Post- operatively, combined physiotherapy and hydrotherapy helped to rehabilitate this young spaniel to ultimately avoid limb amputation. This was a hugely rewarding case to work on.
Moorcroft Open day 2011
Jenny Wilson provides the challenging but rewarding Physiotherapy cover at Moorcroft Racehorse Welfare Centre in Slinfold, West Sussex.
On June 26th 2011, Bridgefield Physiotherapy was invited to attend one of their annual open days.
Here is Maruska and Kate providing any Physiotherapy advice required for any hopeful owners wishing to take on an x-race horse. In the demo, the benefits of long-reining and of working the horses ‘long and low’ were explained.
