😎 Miss Maple was looking very cool during her laser therapy treatments with Vicky and Michele this week. Laser therapy is a valuable tool that helps in reducing pain and inflammation in the body.

Maple is just starting her postop physical therapy program, so we will check in with her again in the weeks to come. 💞

Tanka and Michele were having a good time in the underwater treadmill during his therapy session. Cheese is crucial to Tanka’s fitness, he says. Good boy, Tanka! 💙🐾

Congratulations to a recent graduate of CORE’S postoperative rehabilitation program, Quake! Miss Quake has been working very hard on returning to competitive sports after a TPLO knee surgery. Along with Quake’s owner and trainer, Ally of Onward Bound Incredible Dog Training and Grooming, they have been doing an excellent job at her exercises and regaining strength, muscle mass, and range of motion. Great job, Quake! 🐾🩷

Miss Bella came in recently for some massage and laser therapy with our newest rehab therapist, Michele. We love being able to help animals in this way when they might not be feeling their best, or even as a maintenance to help them stay in top shape.

Both of these therapies can be soothing to uncomfortable areas, they can promote an increase in circulation, and can help reduce inflammation.

Bella was enjoying her session so much she started falling asleep!

Brave little Pippin was recently referred to CORE. He has been coming to see Dr. Kristin for acupuncture and our CORE rehab team for some physical therapy to help improve his rear limb function. He’s always such a good boy for everyone! 💙

Bentley was loving his massage from Vicky. He fell asleep and was a very good boy! 🩵🐾

We’ve got a new therapist joining us! We couldn’t be more excited! 😊 Book a spot with Michele on Wednesdays! She is taking appointments for new clients and existing clients. ♥️🎉

🎉 Special Announcement! 🎉

We are so excited to be announcing a new IVS-CORE team member today! Please welcome Michele!

Michele will be joining our CORE Veterinary Rehab department as a Certified Canine Rehab Therapist. She will be open for rehab appointments on Wednesdays starting in October. Which means that CORE is now open 5 days a week! 💫

🐾🌸Read a little more about Michele:🌸🐾

At a young age I knew I wanted to work in the healthcare field, helping others, and then a high school sports injury led me into the career of physical therapy. I earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Franklin Pierce University in 2016. As a physical therapist, I have specialized in manual therapy, dry needling, instrument-assisted soft tissue massage, pelvic floor therapy, and canine rehabilitation.

I have always had a love for animals and was inspired to pursue canine rehabilitation after helping my Bloodhound mix, Mabel, recover from patella luxation surgery in 2020. In 2023 I became a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist (CCRT) through the Canine Rehabilitation Institute. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to bring my skills and physical therapy experience to Core Rehabilitation.

During my free time, I enjoy being outdoors (hiking, kayaking, and snowboarding), curling up with a good book, and spending time with my husband and newborn baby boy. I am also a dog mom to two sweet hound dogs, Mabel and Penny.
