Animal Physical Rehabilitation

Animal physical rehabilitation is a term that implies the application of physical therapy assessment and treatment techniques to the animal patient. In the human field, physical therapists are key members of health care teams, dedicated to the restoration and maintenance of motion, strength and function of clients. Evaluation and treatment goals also include pain relief, injury prevention and the achievement of optimal potential and quality of life.


Indications for Animal Physical Rehabilitation include:

• Lameness or weakness
• Pain Control
• Surgery (orthopaedic or neurological)
• Injury (muscle or ligament sprains, fractures, inflamed joints, tendonitis)
• Chronic conditions (arthritis, hip dysplasia, contracture, stiffness)
• Spinal issues (acute/chronic neck/back pain, disc problems)
• Gait abnormalities
• Changes in temperament for no apparent reason

Animal physical rehabilitation assessments or treatments are never undertaken without prior consultation with your veterinarian.
