Jake:

My older dog, Jake, hurt his front leg a few months ago and in order for it to heal he had to rest. He had been starting to get some arthritis in his hips and back but nothing that restricted his activity. He would still go to the dog park and run and play and people were often surprised to learn he was twelve. After a couple weeks of rest, he started to lose the muscle in his back legs, but if I tried to walk him more, he would come home limping on his front leg.

A month after the injury he was only able to walk half a block before he would have to rest and could no longer make it up the stairs in our back yard without tripping on his feet. I called Sheila and we made an appointment at Wellsprings. After the first session, he was already feeling better (even with being afraid of the water). Within a month he was completely back to his regular self. It was amazing how fast his muscle came back with the water work and how much better he felt. I often recommended Wellsprings to my clients but now I've not only seen the results in the animals I treat but also in my own dog!
