What is canine rehabilitation?
It is based on similar principals to physio in humans, using modalities to improve functioning, decrease pain and increase fitness. It uses a combination of hands on treatment, including joint mobilisations and soft tissue therapy, and often includes a home exercise program.
Rehab can be beneficial to many dogs, especially those that have had orthopedic surgery, canine athletes and older patients/patients with chronic pain due to underlying disease.
