A snippet of a great week! It’s so rewarding to see how practice makes progress! So proud of all of our rehab patients and their pawrents! The hard work shows! 🤩🐾💪🏼
This is Benny 💕 Benny came to us non weight bearing on his right pelvic limb 3 weeks after his femoral head ostectomy (FHO) surgery.
This can be a common presentation following this procedure especially in our smaller breeds.
Time is of the essence to get the leg to touch the ground followed by being consistently used.
We had our work cut out for us as Benny’s anxiety would often get the best of him. No problem Benny, we’ve got you!
With a lot of encouragement, love, beef liver and rehab Benny is currently thriving 💕
Way to go Benny! 💐
Therapeutic exercise plays an important role in maintaining a healthy, happy and mobile life for your pet especially during our cold and icy winters.
Specific and targeted exercise programs are a crucial part of the rehabilitation process and aid in recovery from injuries, surgical procedures and musculoskeletal conditions. Muscle strengthening, balance and coordination are essential for stability, improved spatial awareness and proprioception, all while supporting your pet’s daily activities and preventing future injury. Therapeutic exercise may also focus on promoting flexibility and improved range of motion, which are vital for joint health and preventing stiffness. Movement has the ability to alleviate pain and discomfort through improved mobility, reduced inflammation and promoting release of endorphins and other natural pain-relieving elements. For many of our pets suffering from neurologic diseases or injuries, therapeutic exercise is a huge factor in re-training daily movements such as walking, sitting, laying down and turning.
Whether your pet is recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or pursuing preventative care, therapeutic exercise will optimize their physical condition and enrich quality of life. Each patient will receive a customized home exercise plan to work on at home, as well as in clinic.
We are equipped with specialized canine exercise equipment that is also available to purchase.
