Biko Physio Brace for CDRM and Nerve Damage in Dogs

The Biko physio brace for dogs has been designed to help dogs with CDRM, nerve damage and general rear leg weaknesses continue to walk and exercise. The biko physio brace for dogs also helps prevent muscle wasting in dogs, which is so important with dogs suffering from CDRM and nerve damage. It is easy to use, effective and will help dogs gain control of their hind limbs, increase their exercise level, and tone and strengthen muscles.
The Biko physio brace PR (Progressive Resistance) Bands System can also be used by canine athletes and working dogs, the same way professional athletes use weight and resistance training. Degenerative myelopathy (CDRM) is not uncommon, particularly in the German Shepherd, Boxer and Pembroke Corgi. It is a difficult condition to manage either medically or surgically. Whilst the progression of the degeneration can be delayed by dietary supplements, treatment options are very limited.

Gerti Chetland - April 26, 2022

We came across the Biko brace set in Austria when our dog’s chiropractor recommended them . Our White Swiss Shepherd, age 11, was diagnosed with degenerative myelopathy in April 2021 and she has been using the bands ever since. The difference in her gait is quite staggering. The bands are easily attached to the harness, and they allow her to stay active and mobile with toe scuffing kept to a minimum. I honestly believe if every dog had access to these bands at the earliest signs of DM, the quality of life for these dogs would be improved a great deal. It is great that they are available here in the UK too and can’t recommend them strongly enough. An other plus point is that the parts of this brace can be purchased separately, eg ankle cuffs.
