How Can Physiotherapy Benefit My Pet?
Physiotherapy aims to identify and address any areas of pain, stiffness, weakness, or dysfunction that may be impacting your pet's overall health. A thorough assessment is conducted, which includes reviewing your pet's medical history, analyzing their gait, testing their range of motion and joint function, and conducting palpation and functional movement tests to identify any imbalances or limitations. Based on these findings, a personalized treatment plan is created, with input from both the pet owner and the physiotherapist, to establish goals and determine the best approach to achieve them.
The number of physiotherapy sessions required varies for each pet, as their response to treatment can differ. Initially, a more intensive treatment approach is often necessary following surgery or injury. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in facilitating your pet's recovery process, ensuring a smoother journey towards improved health.
