Manual Therapy with a canine patient

01

Manual Therapy

Hands-on care to ease stiffness and restore comfortable movement.

Joint mobilizations, soft tissue mobilization, edema management, stretching and range-of-motion work, trigger point release, therapeutic massage (petting with a purpose), myofascial techniques, and taping.

Gait Training with a canine patient

02

Gait Training

Better walking mechanics, stability, and confidence on every surface.

Improving biomechanics and stability to reduce lameness, using cavaletti hurdles, obstacle courses, and forward, lateral, and backward walking.

Therapeutic Exercise with a canine patient

03

Therapeutic Exercise

Targeted strength and mobility work for everyday life and activity.

Strength and functional mobility training — jumping, push-ups, squats, and more. Each exercise targets the specific weakened or affected muscles that are getting in the way of your dog's normal routine.

Neuromuscular Re-Education with a canine patient

04

Neuromuscular Re-Education

Body awareness, balance, and postural control in every position.

Improving neurodevelopmental sequencing and balance in all positions, for both neurological and orthopedic patients — from standing with gentle perturbations to moving between balance discs.

Therapeutic Modalities with a canine patient

05

Therapeutic Modalities

Heat, hot stones, ice, and PEMF to support comfort during sessions.

Heat, hot stones (with massage), ice, and PEMF therapy, used to help manage pain and inflammation and make each session as comfortable as possible.

Mobility & Assistive Equipment with a canine patient

06

Mobility & Assistive Equipment

Guidance with wheelchairs, orthotics, and prosthetics.

Wheelchair, orthotic, and prosthetic management and fitting support for dogs who need help from a device to walk safely and comfortably.

Owner Education & Home Programs with a canine patient

07

Owner Education & Home Programs

Practical home exercises so progress continues between visits.

Teaching owners how to safely perform specific exercises and manual techniques at home to build strength, support function, and help manage discomfort — and to reduce the chance of re-injury after returning to activity.

Where care happens

Services are currently offered through mobile, in-home visits. Our Erie rehabilitation facility is coming soon and will become the preferred place for treatment. Physical therapy works alongside your veterinarian's care — veterinarians can refer here.
