Veterinary Physical Rehabilitation

Veterinary Physical Rehabilitation is used as an integrative part of healing and recovery for our patients.

Veterinary Physical Rehabilitation aims to retrain the body to move the way it was designed and intended. Age-related degenerative diseases such as arthritis, as well as injuries and surgical treatments can cause the body to forget precise movements and ranges of motion. Physical rehabilitation uses specialized exercises and different therapeutic devices and techniques to reduce pain and inflammation, while restoring the body's natural range of motion and improving overall mobility. Rehabilitation techniques may include: shifts in body weight to targeted areas, stimulating and targeting underutilized muscles, and re-engaging the brains neuromuscular pathways.

Benefits of Veterinary Physical Rehabilitation include:

• increase range of motion

• reduce inflammation
• reduce pain
• increases muscle strength and mass
• reduce swelling / edema
• improves outcomes for orthopedic surgery
