Treatments

Veterinary physiotherapy is the use of a combination of different techniques and modalities to provide treatment to animals through a holistic approach. These are tailored in each treatment session to suit each animal's requirements with the overall aim of maintaining good condition and promoting the body's natural healing potential.

​

Just some of the aspects that physiotherapy can help with are - 

​

  • Wound healing

  • Acute and chronic musculoskeletal or neurological conditions

  • Pain management

  • Optimising healing and recovery

  • Post surgery treatment

  • Improving performance

  • Improving range of motion and flexibility

  • Maintaining or improving muscle condition

​

​

Physiotherapy can be used for improvement, maintenance, rehabilitation and recovery. Veterinary physiotherapists are often called in during recovery or rehabilitation, however providing physiotherapy prior to this point can reduce your animal's risk of injury and can address more minor issues before they become a clinical problem.
