Spinal Alignment

I have noticed Garbo doesn't stretch his left rear leg back (he cocks it) when peeing... and he has had a bit of a click going on when he changed weight from one leg to the other so I finally found someone to come look at him.

She said that from what I told her about where Tommy Berhns adjusted his 'hip' that it actually wold have been his sacroiliac...hah - I don't know if I have mentioned that I found out 6 weeks ago my sacroiliac has been inflamed for more than 6 months. My left side. So we are both hobbling along with lower back pain!

Anna was really good and these photos show her manipulating his C joints...

Maraschino had a session too.... and today Garbo looked alot more calm while getting up from the ground - recently he's been like someone just slaps him hard as he gets up - often going straight into a buck. We have some leg stretches to do.

For myself I have seen on TV the NZ physio Robin xxxxx (can't recall) has realised that if you spend alot of time with a rounded back you need to extend backwards to release the tension on the discs... so that's what I have been doing under the supervision of my physio who had already started me along the same track.
