Animals, like people, respond to Physiotherapy. From the management of joints or spinal problems to rehabilitation after fractures or any injury, animal physiotherapy is now considered significant support of medical and surgical treatment. Our aim is to improve, restore or maintain the patient’s functional mobility.
If your pet is diagnosed with any of the following conditions, physiotherapy could be beneficial:
First we check your animal’s medical history and the condition diagnosed by your vet. We will be working closely with our vets to create a suitable rehabilitation plan, that will be tailored to your animal’s needs.After the physiotherapy treatment in the clinic, we will also discuss the excercises and lifestyle changes that your pet may require at home in order to improve. You will be given a customised excercise plan depending on your pets condition and needs.
THERAPEUTIC LASER: (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) facilitates healing, decreases pain and inflammation.Benefits for example:
ELECTRICAL STIMULATION: this therapy involves applying an electric current to the pet’s muscles in order to stimulate the muscles.Benefits for example:
PASSIVE EXERCISES (PROM) for joints: The goal of these exercises is to slowly and carefully guide the affected joint through the available pain-free range of motion, eventually restoring it as much as possible.Benefits for example:
BALANCE AND PROPRIOCEPTION: is the ability to move or to remain in a position without losing control.
WEIGHT-SHIFTING EXERCISE: the goal of these exercises is to encourage the patient to place more and more weight on the affected limb or limbs.
STRETCHING: speeds up recovery from muscular injuries, bone surgeries as well as reduces muscle soreness and helps to restore flexibility and range of movement.
THERMOTHERAPY: heats the muscles and increases the local circulation and tissue extensibility.
CRYOTHERAPY: is indicated in acute cases of inflammation, trauma, and pain, such as post injury or surgery. The application of cold pack decreases blood flow to the region of application, reducing inflammation, pain and metabolic rate. As well as muscle spasms and bleeding in the area.
If you’ve noticed an unusual change in your pet, or you’re already aware of an injury, there’s no better time to get an expert opinion on the situation.
If you think your pet is in need of physiotherapy or any of the treatments mentioned above: please get in contact with our physiotherapist.

No matter what, it’s important that your pet doesn’t chew or bite on his or her stitches. Sometimes your pet will require a pet cone which will prevent your pet from biting or licking the site of the stitches.
If your vet is in agreement, absolutely, yes.
