Rehabilitation
Customized exercise programs and therapeutic techniques to restore strength and mobility.
About Rehabilitation
Veterinary rehabilitation is similar to physical therapy in humans. The goals of veterinary rehabilitation include aiding in recovery, reducing and managing pain, promoting pet's health and fitness, and improving the overall quality of your pet's life. Pets that have acute musculoskeletal injuries, muscle strains, chronic orthopedic conditions, and neurological conditions will benefit from the inclusion of veterinary rehabilitation into their treatment regimen.
Best For
