Services
Animal physiotherapy rehabilitates your animal after injury. Additionally working to improve the health and happiness of long time friends. A combination of various modalities to maintain the optimal functioning of your animal.
After injury an animal can be in significant pain and distress. Therefore it is the primary aim of therapy to make your animal comfortable and to enhance the healing response . Additionally, it is vital to maintain range of motion. As well as prevent any major changes after injury. The combination of these skills allows a quick return to function and prevention of re-injury. Long term maintenance is available to ensure continued quality of life is provided where needed.
I visit your animal either at your home, for dogs and cats. Otherwise in the stable where your horse lives. I can visit your animal at a veterinary hospital if required.
