Animal Physiotherapist

Physiotherapy for animals offers many of the same treatment options that are available for people

Have you ever had physiotherapy? It is likely that you may have been given

Exercises: - both in therapy sessions and in an individual exercise plan to be done at home between sessions.
Manual therapy: - Joint mobilisation and manipulation, massage and other soft tissue techniques including acupressure. Trigger point release and myofascial release.
Advice: - on how to manage and improve the condition.
Electrotherapy: - ultrasound, laser therapy, laser acupuncture, Neuromuscular electrical stimulation, Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, electromagnetic therapy.

After an initial 45 min assessment your physiotherapist will formulate an individual plan of treatment to address your pet or horses specific problems. You will be given a copy of this plan as will your vet.

You can be present throughout treatment and often be shown techniques to use.

If you are unable to be present during treatment we are happy to treat and liaise later regarding the session.

We are very keen to ensure each animal has a positive experience, dog or cat owners may wish to provide their pets favourite treats, toy or blanket for the session.

How often should my animal be seen?

This depends entirely on the problem, and the level of care which you wish to provide. An agility dog with a specific muscle tightness may only need 1 session. A dog recovering from spinal surgery can be seen daily.

We are happy to discuss your individual requirements via email or in a free telephone consultation.
