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. This particular volume acts as a basic set of discharge instructions would, after diagnosis or suspicion of injury or immediately after surgery. Whether the injury or surgery was yesterday or last year, this booklet outlines a plan to begin and follow for four weeks, especially if better recovery has not been achieved after surgery. 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. 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. You do need to be able to understand and follow instructions contained in this volume. I do my rehabilitation work in collaboration with veterinarians, and it is my strong suggestion that you do the same where a veterinarian is available.
