Ipo's Story


At the time when I met Ipo, she was almost 16! Ipo's family called me one day asking if I had an opening that day or the next. They had gone on a drive and when they reached their destination, Ipo was too excited to wait for someone to help her out of the car. She took a flying leap and fell. I saw Ipo that evening and she was VERY sore! On most first visits, I do a consultation and light massage to determine touch sensitivity, but on that day I did more during that first visit than I normally do in hopes of easing a little bit of her pain. The next day, I received a text from Ipo's family: "Ipo looks fantastic today! She is moving much better and very spunky today!" They sent me this before and after video to share here. In the lower part of the videos, you can see how badly she was limping and how painful she was. In the upper left video, you can see how much better she was walking the very next day! You can see in the photos her difficulty in sitting, and her painful elbow. I went on after that initial visit to successfully work on her hips, knees, and elbows to help her sit easier and be more comfortable overall. This is my passion! Helping animals feel their very best everyday!
