What is physiotherapy for pets?
Pet physiotherapy is a field in veterinary medicine that manages pain, improves movement, and accelerates healing. The process focuses on the pet's physical body, enhancing their quality of life. It essentially supports the body's natural process, without the need for unnecessary drugs or surgery.
Techniques involve massage, therapeutic exercises, and laser therapy. Physiotherapy is generally done for pets with chronic conditions, injuries, or post-operative recovery.
At the clinic, our team is trained in species-specific approaches to support the safest and most effective outcomes.
