What can Physiotherapy treat?

Animal Physiotherapy treatments are a proven therapy in treating a wide range of conditions including :
- Muscular, orthopaedic, neurological conditions

- Acute and chronic pain and inflammation
- Groin, tendon and ligament strain
- Sore shins, splints and conformation issues

Flo is a 12 year old Collie cross who has been suffering from Arthritis for over 2 years. Until now, Flo has been maintained on medication and joint supplements, however, she has really slowed down in recent months, lasting only 10 minutes on walks and avoiding the younger dogs when they play.
Flo has undergone a combination course of physiotherapy and acupuncture and in 3 months the results have spoken for themselves. Flo is off all medication now and following her final physiotherapy treatment, Flo's owner wrote the following to me! Thank you Hannah, I have been 100% happy with Flo's treatment, she's a different dog! I haven't seen her run around so much in 5 years while on no medication! It's amazing! I expect after a few weeks of living back with 3 young collies running circles round her she may be in need of a treatment but I will continue to do the exercises with her and see how she goes. |
