Barley's Underwater Treadmill Waltz

Barley has a condition called Degenerative Myelopathy or DM for short. DM causes a slow loss of function to the rear limbs and other parts of the body as the disease progresses. Unfortunately, there is no cure. However, therapeutic exercise can help slow the progression of the disease. It is a sad diagnosis but a positive point is that it’s a non-painful disease. Our therapists, Melissa O’Brien RVT, CCRP and Robby Porter CCRP, have really enjoyed seeing him the last few weeks and will be rechecking him on a regular basis. Barley's hair is especially magnificent and his personality is too. Great working with you Barely, stay strong!
