About

If your pet is experiencing pain, anxiety, discomfort, or is having trouble with mobility then YES rehabilitation is right for your pet. Direct referrals are not required and our team will work with your regular veterinarian to maintain an open line of communication concerning your pet's care. Physical rehabilitation therapists are responsible for creating and implementing therapy plans to increase an animal’s mobility and minimize any pain they may be experiencing as a result of an injury or a chronic condition. The therapist works through the treatment plan with the dog, making adjustments as necessary to ensure that progress is being made in each session.

Physical rehabilitation for veterinary patients expedites return to normal function, pain relief, and encouragement of optimal health for patients suffering from orthopedic, neurological, and chronic diseases. Patients who benefit from rehabilitation programs range from overweight pets and those recovering from injuries and surgeries to senior pets with chronic, debilitating conditions, and agility, field trial, hunting, and service dogs.

Rehabilitation is an essential aspect of the recovery plan for small animal patients. Protocols are tailored for the individual patient based on its disorder and the goals desired from rehabilitation. All therapy sessions take patience and practice; some exercises or modalities may work better for different patients’ temperaments and specific conditions. Rehabilitation changes as the animal improve and recover; the therapists are educated about physical rehabilitation, creative and flexible with protocols, and adjust them for each situation.
