Veterinary Physiotherapy
Better Pet Veterinary Physiotherapy excels in providing exceptional massage and manual therapy services to promote the health and wellbeing of your beloved pets. Beyond traditional treatments, manual therapy stands as a cornerstone for my approach. These hands-on techniques encompass a variety of methods, including massage, joint mobilisations, myofascial release, and the use of fascial edge tools.
Manual therapy offers a multitude of benefits that contribute to your pet’s overall health:
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.
Massage
The use of different techniques to relax your pet and manipulate the tissue. Massage can ease tension, increase circulation and target pain. Massage can be used for all conditions and forms the foundation of my physiotherapy treatments.
Joint Mobilisations
Gentle, controlled movements of the joints help restore normal function, reduce stiffness, and alleviate discomfort. Joint mobilisations are particularly effective for pets recovering from surgeries or dealing with conditions like osteoarthritis.
Myofascial Release
This technique targets the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds muscles and organs. Myofascial release eases tension, promotes relaxation, and addresses soft tissue imbalances.
Fascial Edge Tools
Our innovative approach incorporates specialised tools to gently manipulate fascia and release adhesions. This technique aids in breaking down scar tissue, improving circulation, and enhancing mobility.
