Physical Rehabilitation and Post Surgery

Service Description

Canine physical rehabilitation is a specialized, evidence-based approach designed to help dogs recover from injuries, surgery, or manage chronic conditions. Its primary goal is to reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance the healing process. Rehabilitation is often used after surgery, injury, or in the management of long-term conditions such as arthritis, hip dysplasia, and spinal issues. It's much like physical therapy for humans, where the focus is on restoring strength, flexibility, and function. The rehabilitation process is customized to each patient's specific needs, taking into account the type of injury, surgery, or condition they are recovering from. Rehabilitation can be particularly helpful in preventing future injuries, improving overall quality of life, and maintaining an active lifestyle for older dogs who might be suffering from arthritis or joint degeneration. By using various modalities (types of treatments), rehabilitation programs can target multiple aspects of healing, from pain relief to improving joint and muscle function. Modalities Include but are not limited to: -Therapeutic Exercise -Massage Therapy/ Manual Therapy -Hydrotherapy -Laser Therapy (Photobiomodulation) -Electrotherapy -Cryotherapy (Cold Therapy) -Heat Therapy -Aquatic Treadmill
