Dandy's TTouch journey - back leg and core work

After doing well in the leg wraps, Dandy moved onto hock wraps (the little black wraps) on his hind legs.  He was initially a bit perplexed by these little straps.  When Lori brought them out I thought, "Well what's the point?"  Yet again I was stunned -- a totally different leg awareness for Dandy.  These little guys generated a lot more feeling for Dandy's legs than the orange (ace) wrap.  In the video below you will see him doing movement work with the wraps.  I didn't tape it but throughout the session he was also on the table getting body work done.
 
What's has happened for Dandy is that when he first started his TTouch sessions all he wanted to do was movement work.  Oh how the tables have turned now it's hard to get him away from the bodywork.  When we come into session he basically bee lines to the table where he jumps up and gently starts pushing on Lori to get working on him.  He's come a long ways!

 
 
Dandy first experince in a hoc wrap.  He legs and brain are trying to sort out that new awareness of feeling his legs.


Dandy in his hoc wraps and doing a good amount of movement work. This balance disc offers a lot in terms of texture and stability. It's not fully inflated and has numbs that Dandy has to touch. 

Dandy is getting really good about trying new things and if it's too much he will move off and will then come back for a re-try

 
"Look no hands and I'm working my core!" 
 


Now who's impressed?!  I sure was
