What is Veterinary Physiotherapy?

Veterinary Physiotherapy is a holistic approach to pet care that focuses on enhancing mobility and protecting quality of life. Qualified practitioners use 3 types of therapies to achieve this.

 

Manual therapies include hands-on techniques such as massage and joint mobilisations designed to immediately relieve pain and discomfort.

 

Electrotherapies such as laser and ultrasound use electrical stimulation to influence muscle tissue, improving its quality and function.

 

Remedial exercises harness the power of movement to improve strength and co-ordination, ensuring lasting changes to your pet’s long-term health.​

Whilst the primary goal of these interventions is to improve your pet’s mobility and function, individuals will have unique targets. For injured or post-surgical dogs, their focus will be tissue healing and pain relief, whilst active dogs will focus on fitness and injury prevention.
