Physical Rehabilitation

Physical rehabilitation for animals is a way to help our beloved pets regain comfort and mobility and, ultimately, improve their quality of life.

Each pet receives a custom rehabilitation plan with goals to help put them on the path for success. Treatment plans are available for both dogs and cats.

Physical rehabilitation is a helpful complement to traditional medical therapy. Pets with the following conditions often benefit from treatment:

• Pets living with a chronic orthopedic or neurologic condition
• Pets living with pain
• Senior pets who are showing signs of weakness, slowing down on walks and during play, experiencing soreness after exercise, having difficulty going up and down the stairs, or scuffing their feet

Our custom programs include a variety of modalities to assist your pet:

• Therapeutic exercise programs
• Orthotics/assistive devices
• Massage therapy
• Acupuncture
• Therapeutic laser
• Reiki
