Paws in Motion Canine Rehabilitation

Paws in Motion Canine Rehabilitation Assessment and rehabilitation of dogs in Muskoka after illness or injury, weight loss and conditioning programmes and injury prevention programmes.

I am a Registered Physiotherapist and have been working in private practice treating people with sports injuries, and musculoskeletal and neurological conditions. I am a member of the Animal Rehabilitation Division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association. Paws in Motion Canine Rehabilitation offers assessment and treatment of family pets and canine athletes following illness or injury. Rehabilit

ation can help with the following conditions:
- Soft tissue injuries, such as muscle and ligament strains and tears.
- Joint injuries, including dysplasia, arthritis, and developmental problems.
- Bone injuries, including after fractures or surgeries.
- Spinal injuries, including disc herniations and degenerative changes.
- Neurological problems, including balance disorders.
- Before and after surgical procedures, including fixation of fractures, CCL repair, and other bone or joint surgeries.
- Age related changes, including arthritis, weakness, and changes in balance. Rehabilitation can help in the following ways:
- Reduction of pain and inflammation.
- Improving joint range of motion.
- Improving muscle strength.
- Improving gait pattern.
- Improving balance reactions.
- Improving fitness and endurance.
- Helping to prepare your dog for return to activity. Why you should see a Registered Physiotherapist for your dog's rehabilitation:
- Canine rehabilitation is an unregulated profession, it can be done by anyone, even someone with no training at all.
- A Registered Physiotherapist has had years of training and extensive experience assessing and treating people. They have then gone on to do further, canine specific, training to ensure they are properly qualified to work with you and your dog.
- A Registered Physiotherapist will work with your veterinarian to ensure the best care is being provided for your dogs condition.

After seeing how well their golden retriever did with rehab following CCL surgery, her owners asked if we could continue doing conditioning sessions with her and if they could bring their other two dogs as well! All three had a fantastic session yesterday.

TIME TO ACT! THE ONTARIO VET ACT (aka the rules vets must follow) HAS BEEN UPDATED. MANY OF THE CHANGES ARE SUPER POSITIVE. HOWEVER, DESPITE THE FEEDBACK THEY WERE GIVEN, THEY'VE MADE/KEPT CHANGES THAT LIMIT WHAT TRAINED PHYSIOTHERAPISTS CAN DO.

CURRENTLY, IT IS ILLEGAL FOR ANYONE WHO IS NOT A VET TO PERFORM ACUPUNCTURE/DRY NEEDLING ON AN ANIMAL EVEN IF THEY ARE TRAINED.

A PHYSIOTHERAPIST CANNOT PROVIDE A REHAB DIAGNOSIS (i.e. we cannot say a dog has a muscle strain. We are asking for REHAB diagnosis and there needs to be a differentiation here, much like with human practice in which we can diagnose musculoskeletal problems but cannot diagnose medical conditions like cancer, heart disease, etc).

WE CANNOT USE THERAPEUTIC ULTRASOUND. (I don't use one but am trained to with my human physiotherapy background).

The Ministry for Agriculture is our last chance to see changes before the mater is finalized until the next Vet Act review (which is not likely to happen for decades...). If you want to help, please contact the ministry with your thoughts!
