the Tossing Gooder Stuff Around. . .

contest winners are:

Karen Christensen's Laser

Does gooder stuff include pillows? You got to see Laser in action on our last visit (or at least, the result of his action). This does remind me, though, of the day in Haddonfield that Laser snatched a mole out of the pachysandra in front of the police station and was delightedly clenching it in his jaws and getting jazzed off the screech it was making. But Selket was all over him trying to get it, and to get away from her he tossed it with a flip of his head -- into the middle of King's Highway, where it was flattened by the traffic. At least he couldn't follow it...


Sue Schulz's Emmy

Emmy is playing yellow tennis ball right now.  She gets a little confused when she throws the ball out of the room she is in.  She doesn't realize how far she throws it.


Dan Sailor's Buddy

Buddy takes those heavy rope chew toys and lets them fly. It does cause damage.

Condition the muscles for exercise or performance and help to reduce the incidence of injury.

Muscles contract in response to overexertion, conformational faults and injury.  Over time and without the appropriate relief muscle memory is programmed to remain "fixed".  This is called compensation and is the body's way of trying to maintain balance in the musculoskeletal system.  This can lead to painful physical conditions such as hypersensity and spasms and cause muscle atrophy and reduced mobility.  Massage therapy helps to reeducate the muscles through gentle manipulation of the soft tissue eventually causing them to relax so their proper function may be restored.
