Boo has started seeing the physio now. We had an hour appointment today and I was pleased. She gave him a general good bill of health but did remind me he IS classed as an veteran now.
She worked on his carpals as theere wasnt the expected flexibility, he also has a sore toe. He got a great, full massage including abdominals. We talked warm up/ cool down and training plans and I came away with a fresh and more thoughtful view with Boo's agility for the year.
* I think trying to avoid reps on contacts will help, the speed and velocity at which he hits them worries me and Donna agrees. In training I will avoid doing lots of reps, the odd contact will be fine but I am quite happy to just work on his FP instead.
* I am not going to enter Agility classes unless they are teams/ qualifiers or the odd UKA training round.
* Keep a focus on grids and jumping work to keep him flexible and muscled.
* Take extra time to warm up/ cool down and keep using his back on track coat to aid this.
As far as working on him at home goes, Donna has asked I dont work on him this week so she can see if any of the small issues she found get better/ worse etc. Next week is Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy :)

I have actually bought a small pulsed electronic field magnet unit, because from what I have read the treatment needs to be done daily.
I'll be interested in how you found it with Boo
Thanks Rosie- I will have a chat to my physio about that, will update after next session x
