Why would my dog need physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy helps with the prevention and treatment of injuries and conditions affecting movement. Just like people, animals can show symptoms including pain, muscle wastage, stiffness, reluctance
to exercise, behavioural changes, lameness, poor coordination, weight problems or other more subtle signs. If your animal is not moving well then physiotherapy may help. The overall aim in physiotherapy is to improve, restore or maintain mobility.

Physiotherapy is a science based healthcare profession, characterised by clinical reasoning and evidence based practice. Physiotherapy is complementary to standard veterinary medicine, not an alternative.
Communication between your animal's vet and physiotherapist is important to ensure that your pet receives the best and safest possible treatment.
