Rehabilitation & Pain Management
Just like humans, pets benefit greatly from physical rehabilitation therapy.
It’s particularly helpful after surgery as well as in pets that suffer from arthritis, neurological disorders and even obesity. Physical rehabilitation can:
- Help your pet regain range of motion
- Improve balance and coordination
- Increase mobility
- Lead to better surgical outcomes
- Reduce inflammation
- Relieve pain
- Restore function faster
