What is Post-Operative and Post-Injury Rehab?
Post-operative and post-injury rehabilitation is essential for restoring mobility and functionality in pets recovering from surgery or injury. For pets undergoing orthopaedic, muscular, or neurological surgeries, post-operative rehabilitation can begin as early as the day after surgery. Early intervention significantly improves outcomes by reducing acute pain and inflammation and promoting healing. These sessions are shorter and gentler, using treatments like ice therapy, laser therapy, and kinesiotaping to address the critical early recovery phase. These sessions may start in the hospital and continue at home or in the clinic once the pet is discharged.
Post-injury rehabilitation adopts a conservative approach for pets recovering from muscle, joint, or neurological injuries when surgery is not required. Treatment plans are customized based on the injury’s severity and the pet’s specific needs, incorporating a range of therapeutic modalities. Both forms of rehabilitation emphasize gradual improvement, with ongoing physiotherapy recommended beyond the acute phase to rebuild strength, regain functionality, and support long-term recovery over several months. This tailored approach ensures your pet receives the care they need for the best possible quality of life.
What is Puppy and Sport-Specific Conditioning?
Puppy conditioning is a vital foundation for healthy development as your pet grows. By incorporating tailored exercise programs, this approach helps improve strength, flexibility, and body awareness, setting your puppy up for a lifetime of mobility and well-being. Early conditioning also reduces the risk of developing certain conditions and equips pet owners with expert advice on training and nutrition. Additionally, a trained physiotherapist can detect early signs of issues like hip dysplasia, improving the prognosis through early intervention.
Sport-specific conditioning is designed for pets engaged in physically demanding activities, combining physiotherapy techniques with personalized exercise plans that meet the unique requirements of their sport. This type of conditioning reduces discomfort and muscle tightness caused by high activity levels while enhancing strength, comfort, and performance. Whether for competition or recreation, this program helps your pet reach their full potential while minimizing the risk of injury.
What is Management Physiotherapy?
Long-term maintenance physiotherapy is ideal for pets managing chronic pain, degenerative conditions such as arthritis or hip dysplasia, recurring injuries, or those requiring support for strength, mobility, and overall functionality. This approach also benefits pets needing weight management or preventative care to avoid future issues. Maintenance therapy can be tailored to the pet’s needs, involving either life-long treatments or consistent sessions for a few months, followed by periodic follow-ups.
Each treatment plan is personalised, combining physiotherapy techniques with exercises to address specific goals such as reducing discomfort, improving mobility, and enhancing quality of life. This holistic approach not only supports pets in their current condition but also helps prevent further complications, ensuring they stay active and comfortable for as long as possible.
