What can we do to help your dog
Dogs are loyal companions and active members of our families, often leading busy lives filled with play, exercise, and adventure. Just like humans, they can experience injuries, stiffness, and physical challenges that impact their mobility and quality of life. Veterinary physiotherapy is a specialized approach to improving your dog's physical health, aiding recovery, and enhancing their overall well-being.
Whether it’s helping a senior dog with arthritis, assisting a young pup recovering from surgery, or supporting an active dog in peak performance, physiotherapy can be tailored to meet individual needs. Techniques such as manual therapy, hydrotherapy, targeted exercises, and advanced treatments like laser therapy are all used to improve strength, mobility, and comfort.
Does this sound like something your dog might benefit from?
Electrotherapies involve using specialised equipment to deliver electrical and/or magnetic stimulation to help reduce pain, promote healing, and improve muscle function. Common types include TENS, NMES and PEME. These treatments are safe, non-invasive, and tailored to the dog’s specific needs.
Manual therapies involve hands-on techniques like massage, stretching, and joint mobilisation to relieve tension, improve flexibility, and enhance circulation. These therapies help reduce pain, promote relaxation, and restore natural movement.
Therapeutic exercise helps dogs by improving strength, mobility, and coordination while reducing pain and aiding recovery from injuries or surgeries. Examples include balance work on wobble boards, controlled leash walking, sit-to-stand exercises, and targeted stretches.
