CANINE PHYSIOTHERAPY
Physiotherapy can be very beneficial for all dogs to help improve mobility, fitness and aid rehabilitation. Every treatment program is tailored to each individual dog’s needs.
Some of the common reasons for canine physiotherapy include:
Post-operative rehabilitation
Osteoarthritis
Spinal injury and pathologies
Cruciate ligament injuries
Hip dysplasia
Obesity
Maintenance
Performance improvement
Every new canine patient will receive an initial assessment session which will include:
Static assessment
Dynamic assessment
Palpation
Joint range of motion assessment
Treatment by veterinary physiotherapist
Written treatment plan for your dog
After the initial assessment, you will only need follow up sessions, unless they have since been diagnosed with a new condition or acquired a new injury. The follow up sessions are exactly the same but the assessment is not as thorough, as we only need to see if anything has improved since last time or if any lameness has occurred. The sessions also allow for a longer treatment time for maximum benefits.
Treatments for your canine companion may include:
Massage techniques
Stretching
Range of motion exercises
Therapeutic exercises
Electrotherapy
If you think your dog can benefit from physiotherapy then do not hesitate to get in touch.
