Rehabilitation demonstration

This video documents the rehabilitation by Nicola Way at Vancouver Animal Massage of Sam, an 11-year-old Weimaraner, who ruptured a disc in his back and underwent a hemilaminectomy in 2015 - surgery to relieve the pressure on his spinal cord.

Initially he had some hind leg paralysis but this dissipated with rest and gentle therapeutic manipulation. I started a more concentrated rehab regime when he was able to walk.

Please note that I am trained and certified in this work. This video documents Sam's rehabilitation over a number of months
