The needs of each dog are unique and treatment plans will be customized accordingly.

Please get your dog checked by a veterinarian and bring along any available diagnosis results for the initial consultation. In this session, which lasts about 60 minutes, ample time is taken to assess your dog and accordingly a customized therapy plan will be created.

Follow-up sessions will take about 30 to 60 minutes depending on your dog’s therapy plan.  It is important to note that one cannot expect the animal to be cured after one session.

The number and frequency of sessions needed, will depend on the initial problem and the progress of the dog. Plans are flexible and will constantly be adapted to the needs and progress of the individual dog.

Physiotherapy needs to be stress-free for your dog to promote healing. Therefore, I encourage owners to attend. This way I can also show you any possible exercises to be done at home as to speed up recovery in between treatments.

Physiotherapy does not replace a diagnostic and treatment by your veterinarian !

DON’T GIVE UP ON YOUR GERIATRIC DOG!

Do you see him slow down on walks, having difficulties getting up or maybe reluctant to play or use stairs? Yes dogs get to live to an older age, and are subject to age-related conditions.

Osteoarthritis is one of the most common musculoskeletal diseases in aging dogs and can be a frustrating condition for you and for your pet. However a lot of dogs with osteoarthritis will benefit from physical therapy, as it can reduce the speed of the deterioration and keep them moving to a right old age.

Therefore, don’t give up, but get up with your dog and contact me to see how physiotherapy can help your aging dog.

Physiotherapy is complementary to, and does not replace, a veterinary diagnosis and treatment.
