Our labs can include any of the following:
1. Anatomy & Palpation: Need the dog to stand and let us feel bony landmarks and rub
2. Assessment Techniques: Measure the range of motion with a goniometer tool. We would like them to lie down, but that doesn't always happen
3. Modalities: We are not treating any issues during labs. We will practice the placement of laser probes on the dogs.
4. Therapeutic Exercises: Teaching students how to perform these exercises. A very treat-motivated lab!
5. Case Evaluations: Dogs with current problems are preferred for this lab so the students can practice finding those issues, but is not a requirement.
6. Acupuncture: Dogs receive an acupuncture session from veterinarians getting certified in canine acupuncture.
