Physiotherapy can be of enormous benefit for animals, the same as it for humans. Physio aids in faster recovery from surgery, trauma, sports injuries, and age related complaints. We treat a wide variety of conditions: spinal and neurological, athletic injuries, arthritis, acute and chronic back injuries, orthopaedic cases (such as hip and elbow dysplasia, knee injuries), pre and post surgery, and
age related problems. The aim is always to alleviate pain ,restore to optimum function and regain as much fluid, pain free movement as possible
Our physiotherapy Services:
Many treatment modalities are suitable for both humans and animals. Animal physiotherapists determine what techniques are effective and safe (or not suitable) for your companion. Mobilisation & Stability:
We manipulate joints, massage and stretch muscles and ligaments, and design a programme to suit your animal’s condition, age and temperament. Strengthening & Balance
We need good balance and coordination to avoid injury and relapse. After any trauma, surgery or just inactivity, we automatically lose our sense of balance and core strength, and we need to actively retrain to get it back. Rehabilitation & Recovery
Having a rehabilitation plan for your animal will help them recover from any injury or surgery quickly and avoid recurring complications and injury in the future. Caring hands on approach:
Animal physiotherapists choose techniques specific to the needs of our clients. For example, manipulation, neuromuscular stimulation, dry needling (acupuncture), hot and cold therapy, hydrotherapy, appropriate movement and exercise, balance and postural correction, myofascial release. We also offer alternative techniques
Holistic therapies such as Bowen, Reiki, homeopathy, and Craniosacral technique may also be of benefit to your animal and can be used in conjunction with more mainstream approaches.
