Hi, you cannot palpate the muscle belly as its deep, however, you can palpate the Biceps Brachii tendon of insertion. I hope this helps?

@@K9CoursesSpecialist Hi thank you so much for responding. What muscle/muscles are covering the biceps distal to the superficial pectorals but proximal to the biceps tendon of insertion?

@@don156 please check out the extensive Superficial Pectorals attachments and area and this includes both the ascending pectorals and the deeper transverse pectorals which make up the Superficial Pectorals.

@@K9CoursesSpecialist All of my anatomy sources (including "Miller's Anatomy of the dog" which is the main US anatomy text) show the Biceps Brachii as a superficial muscle below the Superficial Pectorals insertions that you mentioned.

@@don156 Excellent news you have an accurate canine resource as Millers and check out Millers and Evans' Anatomy of the Dog 5th Edition page 270 m.biceps brachii and it states this muscle is covered by superficial pectorals and lies deep, the tendon of origin and tendon of insertion are both palpable but the muscle belly lies deep and it is definitely not superficial in the dog. Check out the fascia arrangements too, to help you orientate yourself so you understand where it actuall lies cranially and medially on the humerus.

Hi thanks for your course query and the best way to contact me about courses is by email info@k9hscourses.com and I look forward to hearing from you

Thanks for the feedback and delighted to be a part of your canine career journey!

Thanks for the comment and please check out the NEW K9 Therapy Hub on our website as this is the place for all those working with dogs to improve their movement and function.

Hi Tracey, using Therapeutic Handling, Holds and Movement Shaping techniques with a dog in water or on land requires a specific clinical skill set, so its not a simple case of no buoyancy aid as it depends on each therapists training and skill's. We have never used a buoyancy aid for the conditions you describe as have the skills in place to ensure safe and effective practice. We know that buoyancy aids limit progress as the core stabilisers (Epaxials) do not engage actively as they would with Aquatic Movement Shaping and natural balanced stance and motion. Buoyancy aids are for safe practice for many as they develop their manual Therapeutic Clinical Skills and I hope this helps?

@K9HS Courses - Barbara Houlding thank you Barbara that is very helpful in my treatment planning and has made me reexamine my approach in this case of DM due to the degenerative changes and stage of the disease.

Thank you for your query and you can find much more at k9hscourses.com with links in the Show More above. I hope this helps?

Thanks Lucy for your feedback and I think you would love the K9 Therapy Hub on our website k9hscourses.com for more of the same and we are launching a new functional anatomy series in 2023 to advance the resources even further!

Thank you and you may be interested in our NEW K9 Therapy Hub k9hscourses.com/k9hs-therapy-hub/

Thanks Beth and we have so much more coming soon!

Thank you Andrew for your feedback and email

Thank you Andrew and you may be interested to know about our new K9 Therapy Hub being released soon!

Glad you enjoyed it Andrew!

Glad you found them useful!

Hi Angie, the short course on www.k9hscourses.com goes into much more depth and has a range of resources linked to this topic to deepen knowledge and understanding of canine natural balanced stance and motion. I hope this helps?

Please visit www.k9hscourses.com and see our accredited short course on Canine Therapeutic Handling, plus there is an awesome short course on Canine Clinic Enrichment too. These both explore all aspects of Canine Movement Enrichment from a canine therapist's perspective and I hope this helps?

Glad you like them!

Thanks for your lovely feedback. I am not aware of any US courses which utilise canine movement enrichment techniques working with the dog and with their consent. These are totally different to training tactics and dog games. We use a therapeutic and holistic approach to canine movement which is dog centric. I wish you luck with your studies and moving over to dogs, its the best job in the world. Check out k9hscourses.com for some great online short courses that may interest you.

Thank you.

Thanks for the question and it is best to find a recommended canine therapist to fully assess your lovely dog and devise an individual treatment programme, to include a re-assessment each session. Integrated practice combining canine hydrotherapy with land based movement therapies and techniques always optimises the dog's progress and outcomes. I hope this helps?

Hi Beth Jane, We have a great resource coming soon on clinic enrichment which includes feeding enrichment techniques from a therapy viewpoint. They can work so well and depends on the dogs behaviours, posture and height of the lickimat, and when in the session it is introduced, thanks for your great question.

the canine bitesize anatomy is the precursor to our Canine CPD Library and other courses where there is a lot more depth of canine topics. Choose a reliable anatomy text, not a general text which includes an anatomy chapter. Also choose a canine specific text not a general anatomy text across different species. I hope this helps?

@@K9CoursesSpecialist thank you for your quick reply! I will check out your CPD membership. Thanks again, really enjoy these videos

Thanks for the positive feedback Kara

Thank you Kara, functional anatomy is so exciting and great to share!

Definitely see a canine physiotherapist to help with the recovery for your dog's muscle injury and to get your dog back to fitness, plus get a proactive programme to keep your dog at her best. Hope this helps!

Thank you Helena and its all about sharing to help the wonderful dogs in our professional care!

The round ligament, also known as the hip joint Teres Ligament, is a major supporting structure of the hip joint in the dog.

We learnt a new skill about syncing camera and sound, there is always something new to learn!

We loved the day and was so surprised to see these outtakes put together by our videographer.

Hi Lorraine, this is a functional anatomy series and we cover hip conditions in our Bitesize Canine Conditions Hub within our Canine Resource Library k9hscourses.com/resource-library/ and I hope this helps.

You're very welcome!

Best of luck!

We have great plans for more free webinars and if you liked these we have lots of treatment techniques in our CPD Library which is a membership community and check out k9hscourses.com/resource-library/
