Veterinary Physiotherapy
Veterinary Physiotherapy is fast becoming an essential part of rehabilitation for dogs, horses and other animals. It involves assessment and treatment techniques to prevent and manage a range of physical conditions, to promote healing and return to full function following injury or surgery and to treat pre-existing conditions such as arthritis or general ageing.
Expert assessment, treatment, advice and a home programme specifically designed for each individual animal is also provided. As well as teaching owners hands-on techniques, I give advice that can make a real difference in the rehabilitation process and long-term management of a condition.
What we can offer your animal
• pre or post surgery rehabilitation
• expert assessment and evaluation of
movement dysfunction
• appropriate treatment to address poor
movement patterning
• regular evaluation of treatment goals
and amended treatment strategies
• advice and education for the owner on
maintenance of the improved
condition
NOTE: Your veterinarian will be contacted prior to any initial assessment and will be kept informed of your animals progress; please discuss this if you do not wish this to occur.
Underwater Treadmill
There are many conditions which aquatic therapy may be beneficial including pre-habitation of surgery, post rehabilitation of operative fractures, cruciate/stifle stabilisation, neurological conditions, tendonitis, conditioning and other disorders in which a dog is reluctant to use the limb or where there is a lack of strength, range of motion, proprioceptive ability or weight-bearing status.
