Surfin' USA

Patron came to us for PT after surgery on one of his hind legs.  We built up his balance, strength, and proprioception (definition: the ability to sense the position and location and orientation and movement of the body and its parts) with "on land" exercises.  Swimming has been a part of Patron's rehabilitation from the beginning.  When his PT appointments were complete, Patron continued to come to FlowDog once a week to continue his swimming. 

Chris thought it would be beneficial to Patron if we continued working on his balance, strength, and proprioception in the pool.  So,we put him on the Boogie Board.  He LOVES it!  See?
