Services, and What to Expect:
Initial Rehabilitation Assessment: A neurologic and orthopedic baseline assessment of your pets’ gait, muscle measurements, joint goniometry, exercise tolerance and emotional well-being is assessed and framed into individualized treatment plan for your pets’ rehabilitation program. After meeting with the therapist, we will need one on one time with your pup for this evaluation. Assessments done for rehabilitation are not to take place of your regular veterinary exams.
Rehabilitation: These treatment plans are full of fun exercises, manual therapy, balancing equipment, therapeutic ultrasound, massage, thermo/cryotherapy, TENS, NMES and other conditioning tools. Drop off at the clinic and mobile in-home settings are available for your convenience.
