Physical rehabilitation can help animals with  musculoskeletal and neurologic disorders.

Rehabilitation can:

• alleviate arthritic pain

• ensure faster recovery from orthopedic and neurologic surgery

• alleviate pain from joint and disk disease

• hasten recovery from acute trauma

• alleviate pain from chronic muscle or bone disorders

• strengthen competitive animals

• improve weight loss                 

 

Our Therapies:

 

1. Water therapy -- utilizes an underwater treadmill with warm water.The  buoyancy allows a painful animal to perform low-impact exercises.

• eases mobility

• increases strength

• decreases pain

• reduces inflammation

• improves flexibility

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Manual therapy -- applies the knowledge and techniques from human physical therapy.

• massage

• passage range of motion

• stretching

• flexing and extending the joints

 

3. Laser Therapy  -- is a deep penetrating light laser used along areas that are painful or where a recent surgery has taken place.

• heals skin wounds - e.g. lick granulomas and hot spots

• hastens recovery from orthopedic and neurologic surgery

• reduces pain and inflammation

• helps tendonitis

 

4. Chiropractic treatments -- are a gentle movement of vertebrae and other bones to help properly align the body. 

• realigns the spine if animals have been shifting their weight due to pain

• hastens recovery from acute trauma

• reduces muscle pain and spasms

5. Massage -- can be incorporated with other modalities or used alone.

• helps alleviate pain 

• decreases muscle spasms 

• improves range of motion for pets with arthritis or an injury

 

6. Neuromuscular Electrostimulation (NMES) -- is a gentle electrical current treatment for muscles.

• reduces muscle spasms and pain

• innervates nerves for pets with neurologic problems

7. BEMER (Bio-Electric Magnetic Energy Regulation)  gives you the earth's frequencies and intensities through PEMF (pulsed electro-magnetic frequencies). This boost the body's blood flow.

​

8. Floor exercises -- help strengthen the muscles and sustain range of motion.

• cavaletti poles

• physio balls

• wobble boards
