What Is Veterinary Physiotherapy
Veterinary Physiotherapy involves the assessment and treatment of animals with the aim to reduce pain and improve function and performance. We treat dogs, whether that be rehabilitation of musculoskeletal or neurological conditions, injury, surgery, age-related problems, or general maintenance.
Does My Dog Need Physiotherapy
All dogs, regardless of age, lifestyle, or job can benefit from veterinary physiotherapy.
Veterinary physiotherapy for the canine patient can vary, with treatment for maintenance purposes (keeping a dog comfortable, fit, and functioning) or for addressing chronic conditions, sudden injuries, or post-surgery recovery.
