WHAT IS PHYSIOTHERAPY AND HOW CAN IT HELP MY ANIMAL?

Veterinary physiotherapy involves the assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions, disability and diseases. Physiotherapy is an evidence based health profession.
There are many conditions that it can treat - such as Orthopaedic, Neurological, Post and Pre-Operative conditions and Arthritis, as well as conditioning high performance, Sporting, and working dogs. Physiotherapy can benefit dogs of all ages - from clumsy puppies to older arthritic dogs.
Physiotherapy aims to;
-relieve pain and reduce inflammation
- improve independence and confidence
- improve function
-improve posture
-improve muscle imbalance and performance
-restore joint range of motion and mobility.
We believe that positively building confidence and independence are the building blocks to an effective physiotherapy program. Your pet will receive a prescribed program to suit their individual needs.

Physiotherapy is an evidence based health profession and must only be carried out by a fully qualified, insured and regulated therapist.
