✨How can physiotherapy help working and sporting dogs?✨

1. Enhanced Performance

Physiotherapy helps to improve muscle strength, flexibility, and joint mobility, which can significantly enhance a dog’s physical performance. For active dogs or those involved in sports like agility, working, or obedience, physiotherapy can help them reach their peak potential by optimizing movement patterns, reducing muscular imbalances and treating any physical limitations that they may have.

2. General Wellbeing

Regular physiotherapy promotes overall wellness by relieving muscle tension, improving circulation, and providing pain relief for conditions such as arthritis. It also aids in relaxation, making it suitable for all dogs, including seniors or those with chronic conditions, to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle.

3. Injury Prevention and Recovery

By addressing areas of tightness, weakness, or imbalance, physiotherapy reduces the risk of injury during training or daily activities. For dogs recovering from surgery or injury, tailored physiotherapy programs facilitate faster and more effective healing, allowing them to get back to their activities safely.

What is Cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy, also known as cold therapy, can be applied to specific areas of the body using various methods such as cold water hosing or ice packs. These techniques lower the skin's temperature by a depth of 2 to 4 cm, effectively reducing the initial inflammation of soft tissues following surgery or injury.

By cooling the skin, cold therapy reduces the activity of nociceptors, which are the pain receptors within the skin, to help alleviate pain. Additionally, cold therapy helps reduce oedema, which is the accumulation of fluid that causes swelling in affected tissues. It achieves this by constricting blood vessels in the treated area, which reduces the delivery of inflammatory mediators to the area and therefore reduces inflammation.

Controlling excessive inflammation is crucial, as it can hinder the healing process and slow the rate of recovery.
