Canine & Small Animal Physiotherapy: Services

Canine & Small Animal Physiotherapy

Small animals ranging from dogs to rabbits to birds can all benefit from veterinary physiotherapy. Whether they are healthy and having maintenance treatments or if they are injured or post-surgical and need a physiotherapy to get them back to full mobility and comfort.

INTRODUCTION

I would have previously received your animals medical history prior to the appointment from your vet.

I will then introduce myself to your animal and give them time to say hello. In the mean time, we will have a chat about your animals history, lifestyle, any concerns and any aims that you are wanting to acheive

STATIC ASSESSMENT

Now your animal is more settled and we have said our hellos, I will watch how your animal naturally stands, making note of their posture and overall condition

DYNAMIC ASSESSMENT

Following on from the static assesment, I will then assess yur animals movements. This will include the animal walking, trotting, circuling, sitting, lying etc whilst I analyse for areas of lameness, stiffness, pain, asymmetry and compensations in their gait.

PALPATION ASSESSMENT

Whilst taking our time and making sure your animal is comfortable throughout, I will then assess the musculoskeletal system by gathering the information from your animals joints, muscles, range of motion and body language.
