Don't wait for problems to start:
Regardless of your animal's age, fitness or diagnosis, a detailed assessment will enable specific treatment and an ongoing rehabilitation plan, with full after care and support, to help maintain or restore your animal's mobility and condition.
Regular maintenance treatment of your horse or dog athlete helps to prevent issues from developing. Physiotherapy is not exclusively for injured or high performance animals.
Compensatory problems from long term conditions such as arthritis, muscle strains or imbalance, or discomfort dealt with swiftly instead of building up can avoid further problems developing. Maintaining and promoting muscle mass is key for protecting diseased joints.
Physiotherapy addresses the body as a whole, looking at muscle mass, areas of discomfort & the animal's overall wellbeing. Bodywork can help relax and release muscles, to increase range of motion, balance and enhance performance.
It can also help animals that are on restricted movement or crate/stable rest by promoting vascular and lymphatic circulation, passive range of movement to improve muscle tonicity and posture, and help relax the animal to reduce stress and anxiety.
Improve the management of a range of conditions: arthritis and other mobility issues, neurological problems, ligament or joint problems, acute or chronic pain, or nerve injury.
Rehabilitation and post-op or injury healing, including fractures (often covered by insurance).
Every session includes a detailed musculo-skeletal assessment including; history taking, observation, palpation and a movement assessment to identify variations in normal movement patterns to establish which soft tissues are causing the functional problems. If left untreated, compensatory movement patterns can develop, putting further strain on soft tissue and eventually causing further problems in other areas.
These therapies can help accelerate healing, repair & regeneration. Ideal for wound & fracture healing, pain management, muscle strains or spasm, muscle atrophy, age-related changes and stimulation of acupuncture points.
