Course Details
We all carry one. We probably spend hours every day staring at them – our cell phones. Well, did you know, that the magical few ounces of electronics you carry in your pocket can be your most powerful tool for identifying that your dog is injured, long before you see any sign of lameness? Every week in her canine sports medicine practice, Chris Zink detects soft tissue injuries that have been present for months, sometimes years! All that was missing to detect those injuries immediately was knowing what to look for.
In this webinar, Chris will show you exactly how to use your cell phone to make videos of your dog training and/or competing to be sure that they are not experiencing any musculoskeletal or neurological compromise. Accompanied by numerous revealing case studies, Chris shows you what settings to use, where to position yourself, and what to look for when reviewing your videos. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain the confidence to know whether your canine teammate has even a minor injury so that you can get help immediately, when there is the best chance of complete and long-term healing.
