If you have not read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance then please put it on the top of your reading list. This is a wonderful book about how to make life better. Equalign uses this analogy to make movement better. Movement can be affected by so many things. The zen approach can aide your examination and decision making by helping you see more perspectives. It is about breaking patterns and seeing things with a different set of criteria. 
Listen along and open your mind to the possibilities. 

To be fit has so many possible meanings. Fit to do what it is that you love to do. Are you mentally, physically, emotionally ready for your day, your workout, your job, your relationship. This could go on and on. Fit to be First is the Equalign tagline. Listen to this podcast and begin to understand fit on a whole new level.

We all have our insecurities. Animals have them as well and may exhibit in the form of lack of movement. That may be forward movement, listening to commands or aids or even the inability to get up from a down position. Using kinesiotape can help remove those insecurities. Listen along as Dr Wendy and Dr Dave discuss how this is possible.

If you have been following our podcasts or EqualignK9 on instagram or facebook you will have seen Lucky's progression. Like all things in health sometimes there are setbacks. Is this the time to stop hoping and give up. We do not think so. This is the time to persevere and push forward, dig in, take note, do more, stay focused. Do whatever it takes. Never give up, never surrender! Join us for more of Lucky's story and maybe a few metaphors about life.

This episode is a discussion of a case study of a large mastiff named Lucky. He came to see us after losing strength in his hind legs and was unable to get up unassisted. He was taken to his vet for evaluation and treatment. His condition continued to decline and was taken to an acupuncturist with no results. His condition was getting worse and was now knuckling over in three limbs. On recommendation of his vet he came to us. Listen along on to Lucky's story.

How many times have you said the sentence "It will go away"? And sometimes it goes away. Only to reveal itself later in life. What started off as a small issue turns into an expensive long lasting problem later in life. Being able to recognize what is normal is essential for knowing when something is not right. Early detection is the key to repairing abnormal movement in yourself and your animals. 

You don't know what you don't know. How do you become in expert in any field? You spend a lifetime learning, reading, practicing, going to seminars, going to trainers, finding mentors, cruising the internet. And you can't do just one. Building a belief system based around one idea limits your openness to new choices, ideas and possibilities. Todays truths can be tomorrows lies. It has been said that to become an expert in a field it generally takes 10,000 hours. That is a lot of commitment. If you really want something be prepared to spend the time. Let this podcast open you to new possibilities, beliefs and changes.

People are always asking us how we stay fit enough to do what we do. We have had our share of injuries and yet we always recover and have what to some seems like endless energy. Yes what we do is physically demanding and so we have learned to take care of ourselves and each other so we can continue to do what we love. We have a conditioning program that includes weights, cardio, stretching, core strengthening, interval training, massage, acupuncture and of course chiropractic. Listen and find out what you can do to get started with your program.

Practice has taught us that there is a big difference between can't versus won't. Being able to distinguish between the two will determine your course of treatment and recommendations to the client. You can use simple tools to help you make this determination which we discuss. We need to listen to the language others use as well and even for ourselves. There is a lot of difference between can't and won't. Lets learn!
