Canine physiotherapy assesses the animal as a whole, looking at them statically, dynamically and through touch. The range of motion of joints and feel of the tissues are investigated.
Following assessment at our canine rehabilitation centre in Darwen, a treatment plan will be devised for your animal using several techniques for example, massage, stretching, electrotherapies and potentially Canine hydrotherapy.
The goals of the treatment plan will vary dependent on the assessment.
Some common conditions treated with physiotherapy include:

Physiotherapy can only be carried out with veterinary consent, to request an appointment and to allow me to gain consent from your veterinary surgeon please fill out the form in the link at the bottom of this page.
Canine hydrotherapy is particularly beneficial for dogs suffering from arthritis or before surgery to build up the muscle to aid recovery and is often used alongside canine physiotherapy as it allows exercise in a reduced weightbearing environment.
Before beginning hydrotherapy at our canine rehabilitation centre a full assessment will be completed this will indicate the appropriate session time, length of breaks and any specific areas which need to be targeted.
Whilst working in a reduced weightbearing environment your animal will still be working their muscles hard which develops condition and tone without adding stress to joints.
Following surgery, after wound, healing hydrotherapy can target muscle development and provide gentle exercise mobilising joints without pain.
During hydrotherapy the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems are used more than during land based exercise, this means overall fitness is improved and can contribute to weight loss.
Hydrotherapy can only be carried out with veterinary consent, to request an appointment and to allow me to gain consent from your veterinary surgeon please fill out the form in the link at the bottom of this page.
