Laser shower 1.8

This week was the final week of Strawberry's healing process. When we first started she had a grade 6/10 suspensrary tear. It has been 8 weeks since we started treatment. I have used various protocols on Strawberry. The laser is more than a red light and might have helped heal my horse. She has been exercised regularly. I just roped my first calf off of her yesterday. 

    The protocol I found most helpful was the Pain one. This clocks in at the highest MHz. The pain setting is ran anywhere on the body except the eyes. I ran the laser from the top of her stifle to the bottom of her hoof wall. This allows blood to circulate and inflammation to lose heat. It is important to follow the same pattern for the same results. Before you start the pain setting you must use the rescue setting. The rescue setting helps awake the horses and see how they react to the treatment. This is ran for 2 minutes on each side of the horses neck. This is ran from the poll to the stile. This allows the whole body to accumulate. 

    In conclusion Strawberry is healed and will soon be in full competition. The laser is more than just a red light. The science behind it is what heals it. Cold laser therapy can be ran on any type of animal or human. It has been a journey and I'm glad it ended well.

Laser Shower 1.1

 Hello everyone! Genius hour has been off to a great start! I have been learning new protocols and studying different settings.  The Laser can also be used on humans. When you are lasering a horse or a human it doesn't hurt or cause you any source of pain. It will hurt your eyes if you look into the red laser, but not the blue laser. Usually you only apply the laser for a maximum of 5 minutes. When treating acne its only 2 weeks. Below I have attached a video of my horse (Strawberry) as her at her first stage of being injured. This video will show how she is off on her hind left leg. Yes she is very fat and is not a pony just a very small horse who has had 5 months without exercise.

This week I stepped up my  exercises. I started doing 3 rounds of 15 reps. So far my shoulder is alright,  but it still isn't ready to get back to CrossFit.   My goals this week are to not get hurt and keep working harder. As far as                  my long term goals  they are still up in the air. The picture above is an  exact picture of what I  had done. This is a stem  cell shot. It uses a really  long needle called a  spinal needle. This shot is very expensive, but it works really well.  Stem cells are fundamentally the building blocks of life and have the potential to differentiate into many different types of cells within the body. Stem cells are actively involved in repairing, regenerating, and rebuilding damaged or absent tissue in the body that has been affected by disease, infection, or injury.

           This week we focused on bench press. When we first started out we but 45 on plus a 35 bar. Mondays set was really good. I built up from 125 up to 145 which is improvement, but I am looking for more. On Wednesday I had no idea what got into me, but I was pretty weak. I faced the challenge of not being able to even lift the bar above my head. That night I came to find out that I had 2 ribs out and it was straining my hip. Given my shoulder injury this came as no surprise because it happens often. Anyways there is always bumps in the road.           My goal this week was to of course burn through 300 reps of everything, but to also get to 150 pounds with my back squat. My goal was reached and on Friday we might add more. Along the way I am improving my form and it is helping me get stronger. It is helping rebuild  my shoulder.                Each week I a...
