Dogs are our best friends, but they too can suffer from numerous health conditions and mobility problems. Many of these can be significantly improved with physiotherapy.
Some common conditions include:
Elbow / hip dysplasia
Arthritis
Cruciate ligament injuries
Muscle injuries
Sports injuries
Spinal injuries
Neurological deficits
Physiotherapy targets pain and weaknesses, helping to strengthen and stabilise weakened muscles, increase mobility and flexibility and enhance your dog’s overall health and well-being.
Physiotherapy helps to:
Strengthen weak muscles and support joints
Improve balance and coordination
Reduce pain and inflammation
Improve mobility
Enhance athletic performance
Reduce the risk of future re-injury
During an appointment Rebecca will visit your dog in their own environment where they feel most relaxed. After taking a case history and assessing your dog’s posture, muscle symmetry and gait, Rebecca will then put together a tailored treatment plan which may include massage, stretching, electrotherapies and a home exercise programme to help your dog get back to doing what they enjoy most.
