Weight Shifting with Front Legs Elevated Therapeutic Exercise
Like 0 Dislike 0 Published on 27 Jul 2015
Elevated weight-shifting is a good exercise for those dogs who need extra conditioning and strengthening in their rear legs. This exercise is performed with the dog's front feet on a step or surface of appropriate height.
These exercises are a great way to physically condition your dog but also help strength your bond with them and provide them with mental stimulation. Exercises should only be performed after receiving a diagnosis and prescription for physical rehabilitation from a licensed veterinarian to ensure that the exercises are safe for your pet's particular condition.
