At the first appointment a detailed assessment will be undertaken to get to know your animal’s routine, current exercise and past medical history. This will be followed by a thorough physical assessment of your animal which will include looking at their movement (gait analysis) and hands on palpation to assess joint range of movement, soft tissue soreness, muscle tone and any specific areas of pain / discomfort. Once this has been completed your physiotherapist will provide an individualised treatment programme with regular reassessment at each follow up appointment.

Manual Therapies
Heat (Epiony) and Cold Therapy
Low Level Laser Therapy (Class IV and 3b)
Phototherapy (Photizo Vetcare)

Many pet insurance policies cover physiotherapy treatment. However, each company is different, and it will depend on the policy you have - check with your insurance company what your pet’s individual policy covers before starting treatment. The Lion Clinic (Charlotte) is fully qualified, insured and on the RAMP register and ACPAT Veterinary physiotherapist so recognised by all insurance company policies that include physiotherapy.
