Veterinary Physiotherapy
At Better Pet Veterinary Physiotherapy I believe in the importance of prehabilitation, as well as injury and post-operative rehabilitation for your beloved pets. Veterinary physiotherapy provides specialised care that not only aids healing but also restores functional movement and strength to your furry companions, improving their recovery time and overall well-being.
In times of injury or following a surgical procedure, your pet’s world can be turned upside down. This is where our comprehensive rehabilitation programs step in to play an integral role in your pet’s recovery journey. Beyond just physical healing, our rehabilitation services encompass a range of benefits that are essential for your pet’s overall well-being:
Pain Management
Injuries and surgeries often bring discomfort and pain. Personalised rehabilitation protocols focus on effective pain management techniques, ensuring your pet experiences relief and comfort throughout the healing process.
Preventing Complications
Post-operative complications and secondary issues can arise if not addressed properly. Our rehabilitation programs are meticulously designed to mitigate potential complications and optimise your home environment, ensuring a smoother and faster recovery.
Optimising Healing
The body’s natural healing processes are supported and enhanced through strategic exercises, modalities, and manual therapies. This optimised healing minimises scar tissue, promotes tissue regeneration, and fosters a stronger recovery.
Regaining Mobility and Function
An injury or surgery can lead to mobility challenges and loss of function. Personalised gait retraining is crafted to help your pet regain strength, flexibility, and coordination, enabling them to return to a higher level of physical activity.
Enhancing Mental Well-being
The psychological well-being of your pet is just as vital as their physical health. Personalised rehabilitation programmes incorporate positive experiences, mental stimulation, and a supportive environment, fostering a sense of security and confidence in your pet.
Strengthening the Bond
Engaging in your pet’s rehabilitation journey not only aids their recovery but also deepens the bond between you and your furry companion. You become an active participant in their healing process, nurturing a sense of trust and partnership.
My prehabilitation services are designed to proactively strengthen your pet’s physical condition before a scheduled surgery. By enhancing muscle tone, joint flexibility, and overall fitness, prehabilitation can lead to a smoother surgery, faster recovery, and improved postoperative outcomes.
At Better Pet Veterinary Physiotherapy, I recognise that each pet’s needs are unique. At every session I will undertake a comprehensive assessment, considering factors like the type of injury, surgical procedure, and your pet’s specific condition. This assessment forms the foundation of a customised rehabilitation plan that caters to your pet’s individual requirements. I offer a diverse range of rehabilitation services, each tailored to address specific needs:
Orthopaedic Rehabilitation
From fractures to joint surgeries, our orthopaedic rehabilitation programs help pets regain strength, stability, and range of motion.
Neurological Rehabilitation
For pets with neurological issues or recovering from spinal surgery, I create specialised plans to improve coordination, balance, and overall mobility.
Soft Tissue Injury Rehabilitation
My programs target soft tissue injuries like muscle strains and ligament tears, facilitating tissue repair and preventing scar tissue formation.
Amputation Rehabilitation
Pets who have undergone amputations can benefit from exercises that improve mobility and strength and ensure a smooth transition to their altered physical state.
Choosing rehabilitation for your pet is more than just a step – it’s a leap toward a brighter, healthier future. By investing in your pet’s rehabilitation, you’re making a commitment to their happiness and well-being.
