Rehabilitation Services
- Massage: Massage is a therapeutic technique that involves physical manipulation of muscle tissue to relieve tension and enhance muscle growth. This method promotes increased blood flow, accelerating your pet’s recovery and minimizing discomfort.
- Range of Motion Exercises: Stretching and joint extension exercises aim to improve your pet’s range of motion, restoring mobility and alleviating joint pain. This contributes significantly to enhancing your pet’s overall quality of life.
- Strengthening Exercises: Incorporating targeted training and movements, strengthening exercises rebuild muscle function. Exercises like incline walking, leg stands, and sit-to-stands are employed to develop specific muscle groups, promoting strength and durability.
- Underwater Treadmill: Underwater treadmills are particularly beneficial for dogs with poor balance, cruciate ligament ruptures, neurological conditions, and spinal issues. This specialized equipment encourages muscle development, strength, and fitness, making it an excellent option for weight loss as well.
- Balance and Coordination Exercises: Dynamic training, including obstacle courses and balancing exercises, is employed to enhance your pet’s coordination and awareness. These exercises contribute to overall rehabilitation progress.
- Thermotherapy and Cryotherapy: Heat and cold are strategically applied to enhance the effectiveness of other treatments. Thermotherapy before physical manipulation improves range of motion, increases blood flow, and reduces stiffness. Post-therapy cryotherapy decreases discomfort and muscle soreness.
- Assisi Loop: The Assisi Loop utilizes low-level pulses of electromagnetic energy to reduce inflammation and pain, expediting the recovery process. When used in conjunction with other treatments, it proves especially effective in promoting overall wellness.
- Acupuncture: Acupuncture, involving the use of thin, sterile needles, stimulates blood flow and the nervous system, maintaining your pet’s bodily balance and general wellness. It’s a holistic approach that increases circulation, relieves pain, releases endorphins, and regulates hormones.
- Laser Therapy: Low-level laser therapy directs cold laser light to injured areas, stimulating blood flow and encouraging cell activity for faster healing. Results may vary, but many pets experience relief after just one session.
