| Owner Advice and Education |
Advice is always given during and post treatment. This may include:
- Positioning of the recumbent animal post-surgery to avoid pressure sores, passive
movements and stretches to avoid stiffness and swelling.
- Written and demonstrated exercise programmes post-surgery / injury, with follow up progression of exercises as appropriate.
- Graduated exercise programmes to ensure the animal returns to as near its normal level
of function as the injury or surgery allows.
- Advice to owners regarding management of arthritic dogs including daily exercises and stretches to promote successful recovery.
- Rehabilitation to help prevent the recurrence of the injury.
- Advise on lunging, schooling exercises, etc.
- We also offer one day workshops to owners on a wide variety of skills including massage, stretches and rehabilitation / fittening programmes.

You can phone us directly to discuss your animal’s problem and we will then contact your vet to gain approval to see the animal. This is a standard legal requirement of our profession and our strong working relationship with the vets ensures this is a matter of routine. Alternatively your vet will refer your animal for physiotherapy and we will arrange to see the animal. We assess and treat at your yard, at your home or on vet’s premises – whatever is the most appropriate.
So call us today on 0845 300 9032 (local rate call) or 07801 270053 for more information, to book an appointment or simply to discuss a problem you think your animal may have.
