Does my dog really need treatment?

Dogs can suffer from a wide variety of orthopaedic and neurological conditions in all stages of their life.  Whether they need post-surgery rehabilitation or non-surgical conservative management of a condition, physiotherapy plays a vital part in regaining their function and well-being.

Working and competition dogs are subjected to many more stresses than our pet dogs and need to be fit and pain-free in order to perform at their best. Physiotherapy can prevent injury and improve their athletic ability. Common problems in dogs which physiotherapy can help with are:

• Hip and elbow dysplasia
• Cruciate ligament problems
• Neurological conditions
• Muscle atrophy
• Post-surgery
• Osteoarthritis
• Mobility impairment
• Pain/Discomfort
• Lameness/gait abnormality
• Fractures
• Soft tissue injuries
• Stiffness after exercise
