What We Do
Tailored Therapy for Your Canine's Individual Needs
Modalities
Heat, hot stones (with massage), Ice, and PEMF therapy to reduce pain and inflammation and to make each session as comfortable as possible.
Manual therapy
includes joint mobilizations, soft tissue mobilization (STM), edema management, stretching (flexibility) and range of motion enhancement, trigger point release, therapeutic massage (petting with a purpose), myofascial techniques, and taping.
Gait training
Improving biomechanics and stability to reduce present lameness with cavaletti hurdles, obstacle courses, forward/lateral/backward walking, and more.
Therapeutic exercise and activities
Strength and functional mobility training, including jumping, push-ups, squats, and more. Each exercise and activity is specific to target the weakened or affected muscles that are impairing the dog’s typical daily routine.
Neuromuscular re-education
Improving neurodevelopmental sequencing and balance in all positions. This is to benefit all dogs, either neurological or orthopedic, to be stable with a change in body position. This can include jumping from one balance disc to another or even just standing with perturbations.
Medical Equipment Management
Wheelchair, orthotics, and prosthetics management and fitting to assist dogs that are unable to complete ambulation without assistance and support from a device.
Client education
Client education is extremely important regarding the canine rehabilitation process. Teaching owners how to complete specific therapeutic exercises or manual therapies with their pets can improve or maintain the current condition through strength training, functional training, or pain management. This can even continue after the rehabilitation process to further reduce the likelihood of any injury when returning to the previous level of function.
