Canine

Many conditions affecting dogs can benefit from physiotherapy. All dogs can require physiotherapy from your average pet, cross breed, show dog, racing greyhound, agility and flyball dogs, and working dogs.

Dogs competing in Agility and fly ball competitions, or working dogs, may benefit from regular treatment to help maintain fitness, improve performance, maximise potential and reduce the risk of injury. The older dog may require physiotherapy to aid with joint range of movement & maintenance of mobility.

Common conditions that may be assisted by physiotherapy include:-

  • Osteoarthritis
  • Neurological conditions
  • Hip and elbow dysplasia
  • Osteochondrosis Dissecans
  • Age related – reduced function, stiffness or weakness
  • Muscle imbalances
  • Fractures
  • Wounds, muscle/tendon/ligament injuries
  • Weight management
  • Pre & post orthopaedic surgery for:
    • Fracture Repair
    • Cruciate Ligament Degeneration
    • Medial Patella Luxation
    • Spinal Surgery
    • Femoral Head Removal / Hip Replacements

Treatments can be performed in the comfort of your own home as a relaxed dog will be more receptive to treatment in their usual surroundings.

All treatments are performed with referral or permission of the treating veterinary Surgeon in accordance with the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966.
