Canine rehabilitation and therapeutic exercise with Robby Porter - a podcast by Pure Animal

Robert ("Robby") Porter fell in love with veterinary medicine from a young age, giving up most of his waking hours to the profession. However he noticed there was an obvious lack of physical therapy in clinical practice and set about to change this. He was one of the first people in the world to obtain his Certification in Canine Rehabilitation. In this episode, we talk about Robby's unique approach to managing post-operative rehabilitation and canine conditioning. 

Topics discussed include:

* Using food appropriately in training 

* Training primary position simply and effectively 

* Deciding upon the right exercise program for each dog 

* Applying the principles of exercise to both post-surgical rehabilitation cases and canine athletes 

* Injury prevention tips and techniques 

* Other therapies Robby recommends, such as laser therapy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy
