There are a number of reasons why physiotherapy may benefit your pet, if you are unsure or would like to discuss the situation please get in touch, We are always happy to advise.

Rehabilitation after an operation

Physiotherapy can be used to help pets recover from operations on muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments. For example, after surgery for a cruciate ligament injury, or patellar luxation. It can be used before an operation, to help prepare, or afterwards, to help aid with recovery.

Long term pain and movement problems

Physiotherapy can be used to keep older pets mobile, and also to help pets with long-term conditions such as arthritis stay as comfortable, pain free and active as possible. It can also be used to help pets with neurological conditions such as a Slipped Disc (IVDD) or Degenerative Myelopathy (DM).

Injuries and pain relief

Physiotherapy might be suitable if your pet has sustained an injury that doesn’t require surgery but is affecting a muscle, tendon, or ligament. It can help to relieve pain and discomfort and restore normal function.

Working or competing dogs

Physiotherapy can be used to enhance the performance of a working or competing dog.
