TREATMENTS
MANUAL THERAPIES
Massage, manipulation, mobilisations, trigger point release, myofascial release, specific stretches etc. These techniques can help to alleviate pain and tension, increase tissue pliability and blood flow, improve/maintain range of motion and encourage lymphatic drainage.
ELECTROTHERAPIES
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy and TENS. These electrotherapies can target specific areas such as reduction of oedema, optimising tissue healing and providing pain relief.
REMEDIAL EXERCISE
Each patient will receive an individual rehabilitation programme according to their specific needs. Specific exercises can be used to increase core stability, target gait abnormalities and therefore compensatory issues, improve muscle mass and tone and improve proprioception.
KINESIOTAPING
Kinesiotape works by providing stimulation, relief and support to connective tissue and muscles, and can therefore be used to reduce swelling and pain whilst improving movement and posture.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
In accordance with the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966, it is a legal requirement for all veterinary physiotherapists to obtain veterinary consent prior to treatment of any animal. This does not necessarily mean that your pet needs to see the vet prior to a physiotherapy appointment. Please be ready to provide your veterinary surgeon's contact details upon making an appointment and we will contact them directly on your behalf.
