Does My Pet Need Physiotherapy?

What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy for your pet is a non-invasive treatment that can be used to help post-operative patients, neurological or orthopaedic conditions, and soft tissue injuries. It can be utilised to manage pain, improve mobility, rebuild or maintain muscle mass, improve overall strength and joint function; whilst simultaneously improving the quality of your companion’s life.

How can Companion Vet Physiotherapy help?

At your initial consultation, I will ask a series of questions that will help me to get to know you, your pet, your concerns and what you would like to achieve out of your pet’s physiotherapy sessions. I will also assess your pet so I can develop a tailored treatment plan that will help your companion back onto the road to recovery. This is all completed in the comfort of your own home, so they are more relaxed, less stressed and get the most out of the treatment. At the end of your appointment, you will receive a physiotherapy report with your pet’s aims and goals, and a home exercise program to continue their treatment until their follow-up appointment.
