Camel Sports Therapy?
A really big special thanks to my new friend and client.......Luke! This is Luke and I at his home in the Zoo, we took this picture after spending some quality time together with his chronic sore shoulder. I don't generally take outside animal requests but Luke was a opportunity I couldn't pass up. I don't expect to be extending my 'Camel Sports Therapy' practice any day soon though.

I've worked with people, horses, dogs and even a cat but never a camel! I wondered how Luke would respond to body work both physically and expressively. Horses generally show you signs of release with licking, chewing or yawning. As you can tell from this image, Luke was very much apart of the same program with his mouth open yawning.
