Comprehensive therapy programs tailored to your pet's specific recovery needs and wellness goals.
Underwater treadmill therapy to reduce weight-bearing and improve mobility.
Hydrotherapy is ideal for pets recovering from surgery, arthritis, neurological conditions, or joint injuries. The buoyancy of water reduces stress on joints while allowing controlled movement, helping to build strength, improve balance, enhance circulation, and restore mobility safely and effectively.
Cold laser treatments to reduce inflammation and speed up natural tissue healing.
Laser Therapy uses low-level light energy to stimulate cell regeneration, improve blood circulation, and relieve pain without discomfort. It is highly effective for managing arthritis, muscle injuries, post-surgical recovery, wound healing, and chronic inflammatory conditions in pets.
Specialized massage and joint mobilization techniques to improve comfort.
Manual Therapy helps relieve muscle tension, improve joint flexibility, and enhance circulation in pets experiencing stiffness, pain, or limited mobility. It is commonly used for post-injury recovery, arthritis management, and rehabilitation following surgery to restore natural movement and comfort.
