Conditions We Treat
Veterinary physiotherapy can be used to treat wide range of conditions. Whether your pet is recovering from surgery, managing a long-term condition, or simply struggling with mobility, veterinary physiotherapy can help. If you are unsure if it can help your pet, please don’t hesitate to get in touch to discuss.
Post-operative rehabilitation
Physiotherapy can play an important role in your pet's recovery following surgery. Treatment can help manage pain and swelling, restore movement, rebuild strength and support a safe return to normal activity.
This may include rehabilitation following:
Cruciate ligament surgery
Patella stabilising surgery
Fracture repair
Spinal surgery
Joint replacement
Arthritis and degenerative joint conditions
Arthritis can affect your pet's comfort, mobility and enjoyment of everyday activities. Physiotherapy can help manage symptoms, maintain joint mobility, improve muscle strength and support your pet in staying active for longer.
Treatment may be particularly beneficial for older pets or those experiencing stiffness, reduced mobility or difficulty getting up, walking or using stairs.
Muscle, tendon and ligament injuries
Soft tissue injuries can affect pets of all ages and activity levels. Rehabilitation can help your pet recover from injury, regain strength and flexibility, and return safely to their normal activities.
This may include:
Muscle strains
Tendon injuries
Ligament injuries
Sprains
Neurological conditions
Physiotherapy can support pets living with neurological conditions that may affect movement, coordination, balance or strength.
Depending on your pet's condition, rehabilitation may focus on improving mobility, maintaining muscle strength, encouraging appropriate movement patterns and helping them make the most of their independence.
Mobility and movement problems
If your pet is slowing down, struggling with everyday activities or showing changes in the way they move, physiotherapy may help.
Age-related changes
As pets get older, changes in strength, flexibility and mobility can affect their quality of life. Physiotherapy can help support healthy ageing by maintaining movement, strength and comfort.
Treatment can be adapted to suit your pet's abilities and can help them stay active and engaged with the things they enjoy.
Sporting and performance dogs
Active and working dogs place significant demands on their bodies. Physiotherapy can support performance, recovery and injury prevention by addressing strength, flexibility, balance and movement.
