Strength and flexibility are imperative to keep our bodies strong and healthy throughout our life, that applies to dogs too. Without appropriate stretching, muscles can shorten, causing problems in the joints they surround, creating uneven pressure through the articular cartilage (the smooth lining covering the surface of the joints), over time this could lead to arthritis. This painful condition is caused when the cartilage inside the joint wears down leaving only exposed bone. Every time the joint moves, the bone grates against bone causing pain. Stretching can decrease tightness around the muscle, decreasing the likelihood of degenerative changes in the cartilage over time which is particularly important for older dogs who are more prone to these changes.
In a 20 minute session, Salina will coach you in stretching and conditioning exercises that you can do with your dog in the comfort of your own home via Zoom or FaceTime.
