No special tools or equipment are needed for the majority of the exercises and drills I utilize on a daily basis and present in this book..

These successful homework guidelines are based on my having over 30 years experience in sport science and exercise program design, as well as based on much related research. I have been in veterinary-based, companion animal rehabilitation for almost 10 years and have developed these guidelines for use in my mobile animal rehabilitation practice so that pet caretakers may practice them in the home environment to rehab their pets after injury and/or surgery.
