  • Pain relief, improved function, and reduced inflammation

  • Slows degenerative diseases and enhances quality of life

  • Therapeutic and safe environment.

What is Veterinary Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy has been shown to improve health outcomes in both animals and in people. Problems involving the musculoskeletal, nervous systems and balance can be helped by physiotherapy. It can also aid in recovery from injury or surgery and with pain management.

It’s widely recognised that treatment outcomes are better for pets who have received physiotherapy after orthopaedic surgery.  It can improve recovery times from accidents, surgery or illness. Pets with orthopaedic problems, (such as hip or elbow dysplasia, osteoarthritis, spinal, neurological, soft-tissue or mobility problems) can all be helped. Physiotherapy can also help the management of chronic pain. 

Benefits include:

1. Assist Recovery from an Injury or Surgery

2. Improve Range of Motion 

3. Reduce Joint Pain 

4. A Non-Invasive Solution 

5. Enhance Animals’ Overall Quality of Life
