Similar to physiotherapy in humans, pets too can benefit from therapeutic exercise, soft tissue stretching, and massage. Evidence based treatments such as low level laser, pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, and heat/cold therapy, are also used in the veterinary world. These rehab tools help to speed healing, relieve pain, strengthen muscles, and improve balance.

Other disciplines such as nutrition, pharmacology, mental enrichment, environmental modifications, and mobility aids also play important roles in helping patients recover from injuries more quickly, or manage with their chronic conditions more comfortably.

Treatment goals will differ for each patient, but at its core, rehabilitation therapy helps your pet feel less pain, heal from injury more quickly, and generally function better, so that you can enjoy the things you love to do together.
