How we treat pain
There is no ‘silver bullet’ for pain relief.

All animals are unique, treatment plans are tailored for each individual pet.

Recent advances in the understanding of pain are used to provide safe and effective pain relief for your pet.

We work closely with you and your referring veterinary practice to look at all aspects of your pet’s health – a ‘holistic’ approach, or looking at ‘the big picture’.

Tailored Treatments:

- ASSESSMENT
Your pet will experience pain in a unique way. We look at the effect pain has on their mobility and quality of life.

- PAIN MECHANISMS
Once pain mechanisms are identified they also become targets for treatment.

- ACUPUNCTURE
Pain may alter your pet’s posture and gait. This causes muscle pain and abnormal loading of joints and ligaments. Acupuncture is often a useful treatment in pain management.

- HOME ENVIRONMENT
We will discuss some small changes you can make at home, to help your pet.

- DIAGNOSIS
Consulting with specialists in orthopaedics, neurology and cardiology. An accurate diagnosis helps when planning treatment,

- PAIN MEDICINES
A range of safe and effective medicines is available, to target pain mechanisms. Treatment plans are specific for each individual pet.

- PHYSIOTHERAPY
We work closely with excellent veterinary physiotherapists.

Once your pet’s pain is under control, physiotherapy is essential part of rehabilitation

- ASSESSING PROGRESS
Regular assessment is needed to check your pet’s progress.

Older pets also need regular checks for other problems which could complicate their treatment.

If you would like to know more about my services or think your pet could benefit please DM me or contact your vet for referral.

A great post from Canine Conditioning Academy showing canine growth plate closure timeframes.

A great post from Canine Conditioning Academy showing canine growth plate closure timeframes.

Growth plate closure is such an important consideration when we are working our young dogs. This is a guide only, in my personal experience some growth plates can remain active until the dog is 2yrs old. Torque or twisting can cause damage to the growth plates. Find the distal radial epiphysis (wrist) this can remain active until 17 months or more ! Think about the concussive force this joint receives when the dog takes off and lands. Take care out there 😉

🚧 🚨 Road Works 🚨🚧 I’m sure many of you are already aware, but just as a heads up… There are road works right outside our centre just now. This is causing some delays with traffic 🕰️ so please allow a little extra time to get to us. You can still turn into the parking at the centre as our physio Kim has kindly shown with this video. But… there is always alternative parking at the Bannockburn council library if it all gets a bit much. Safe driving 🚗

🌳🐴Hacking 🐴🌳 We love hacking horses JF - Vet Physio and recommend in exercise programmes a lot. It has so many benefits… 💪 Builds a base line fitness 📏 Straight lines are the best way to start fitness work, especially where joint problems have cropped up ⭕️ No circles - too many of us get bogged down going round & round in circles 🏞️ Varying terrains - great for soft tissue adaptability and proprioception But most of all… isn’t it great to get out in the outdoors, get some fresh air and take in the view. We would love to see any of your favourite hacking spots with photos below. 📸

🐣Happy Easter🐣 We would like to wish all our lovely clients and their animals a Happy Easter this weekend. But we would also just like to remind everyone to be mindful of your canine friends once the Easter Bunny has done his rounds. Chocolate can be dangerous for dogs and can make them very ill 🤒. Please remember to keep any chocolate goodies out of reach of your dogs to ensure they can enjoy Easter just as much as you. #jfvetphysio #caninephysiotherapy #caninephysio #k9physioscotland #caninephysioandfitness #dogrehabilitation #caninephysioscotland #ramp #irvap

🐶National Puppy Day🐶 At JF - Vet Physio we can offer puppy check appointments. We will look at how your puppy is moving and developing to help identify any issues early on. It also gives you the opportunity to get the best advice on how to keep your puppy and their maturing skeletal system healthy as they grow including age appropriate exercise. It’s also a great opportunity to build their trust & acceptance in a practice environment. Positive initial experiences are worth their weight in gold for young dogs. If you have a puppy, or are expecting their imminent arrival, please discuss a physio visit to JF - Vet Physio with your vet. #jfvetphysio #irvap #ramp #caninephysioscotland #dogrehabilitation #caninephysioandfitness #caninephysiotherapy #k9physioscotland #caninephysio #puppyphysiotherapy #puppyphysio #puppyphysio👣❤🐾

✨Ruby✨ Ruby was referred to JF - Vet Physio in October following a diagnosis of acute Polyradiculoneuritis. This is a sudden onset condition which causes inflammation of the peripheral nerves (nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord), resulting in paralysis of the limbs. When Ruby came in for her first appointment she had to be carried in as she had no movement in her back legs and only very limited movement in her front legs. We have been hard at work putting in place a comprehensive physiotherapy programme involving the use of various electrotherapies and a progressive exercise plan. Ruby's rehabilitation has been a long process, but between our sessions, home treatment and her owner being so diligent with her exercises - providing Ruby with 4 hours of physiotherapy a day 💪 - we are really getting somewhere. The first image in the video shows Ruby when she was unable to move her legs and the more recent videos of her up walking and doing some of her exercises. She still has a long way to go, but I think we can all agree she has done tremendously well👏. #jfvetphysio #caninephysio #caninephysiotherapy #vetphysio #vetphysiouk #vetphysiotherapy #glendrickroostsanctuary #glendrickroost

💥 Pain Management 💥 At JF - Vet Physio we believe in adopting a collaborative, team work approach for your pets treatment plan to make sure we deliver the gold standard care they need and deserve. This video shows Cooper who attends our Physiotherapy centre in Bannockburn regularly with one of our wonderful physio’s Susan. Cooper had a recent, very painful elbow arthritis flare up as you can see from the beginning of the video. Thanks to the team work of ourselves at JF - Vet Physio and Fergus Coutts Veterinary Pain Management we have been able to work together to help give Cooper some much needed relief allowing him a short, but more comfortable walk on Friday. #jfvetphysio #ferguscouttspainmanagement #teamwork #rampregister #goldstandardcare #canineelbowdysplasia #canineelbowarthritis #caninearthritis #caninearthritismanagement
