Animals Have Orthopedic Issues, Too

  • Summary

  • Humans are not the only species to experience orthopedic problems. All living beings with joints experience similar problems and respond to those problems in much the same way, whether they walk on two legs or four. My guest today, licensed Clinical Massage Therapist Rachel Purpura, treats structural alignment problems in both humans and their small and large companion animals. We will talk about the similarities and differences that come from walking on two legs vs four, special considerations for doing massage therapy and structural realignment on animals (especially 2000 lb horses), why we need to treat our companion animals, how the structural alignment problems of equestrians can create alignment problems for the horses they ride, and what can be done about it.
