Feline Physiotherapy 🐈
Veterinary physiotherapy has many benefits for cats, not just dogs and horses.
Fibi is receiving rehabilitation for paralysis of the hind limbs. She was an absolute superstar in the Underwater treadmill!
Did you know that veterinary physiotherapy can aid in weight loss in dogs?
Lilly has veterinary physiotherapy for weight loss management.
On her first evaluation, she was stiff and uncomfortable in her movement. Her owners explained that she was not herself. Even her tail was flaccid.
Since coming for veterinary physiotherapy, she has had changes to her diet, one of them being put onto raw food. She is on a hydrotherapy program and a home exercise program. In just over a week, she has lost 4kg. She is much happier, the owners can see a difference in her demeanor at home, she wants to play with her ball again, and even her tail is wagging again.
Weight loss is important in dogs, as it can prevent diseases associated with obesity and reduce osteoarthritis in joints.
Allen underwent surgery on her right patella. After the surgery, she did not want to put her leg down. In 3 weeks since starting veterinary physiotherapy, she has started to walk on the leg again. The focus now is to strengthen the muscles of the right hind and continue with gait training to further improve the weight bearing and function of the leg.

Gretchen loves the Underwater Treadmill so much that we just had to share another video. She does this every time before we start. She wants the door opened, grabs her toy, and is then ready to start!

Klaradane presented with neurological signs of the left hind limb in October 2023, which was diagnosed by a vet. Since then, she has been undergoing physiotherapy. By improving her proprioception, strengthening the hind limb, and reducing compensation, her gait, and the use of the left hind have improved tremendously.
Another progress report for one of our patients 🌟
This pup, who is 10 months old, was in a motor vehicle accident.
He fractured the left side of his pelvis, femur, and tibia. He had to undergo surgery to remove his femoral head. He has been doing physiotherapy since November 2023. He has progressed immensely. The above video shows his progress from week 1 all the way to week 12.
Seeing progress like this warms our hearts and is a demonstration of why we do what we do 🤍
Introducing Quinto:
Quinto (12 years old) comes in for maintenance treatments once a month. The focus for these treatments is to perform the appropriate amount of meaningful repetitions to maintain joint health and mobility, reduce any muscle tightness or pain, maintain overall suppleness and mobility, and strengthen his muscles.
His treatments consist of underwater treadmill, manual therapy, joint mobilisations, joint distractions, and stretching.
The goal for geriatric patients is to maintain their current functional ability and to reduce any pain and increase physical capability.
Each dog is an individual, and our job is to ensure that their specific needs are met. Therefore, each treatment is tailored-made for the goals of that specific patient.
This Madam Lulu took to the UWT like a fish to water!!! Super clever girl. She is diagnosed with Hip Dysplasia and Megan Doyle will be using Hydrotherapy combined with Physio and excersizes to strengthen the muscles and stabalize her so that she can live a relatively normal life!!!!

BEMER - Bio Electric Magnetic Energy Regulation (PEMF THERAPY)
As Veterinary Physiotherapists we work on the different Musculoskeletal systems Via our hands as well as other modalities, all having an affect on blood flow ❤️, blood flow makes our world go round 😍
What are the Benefits of this therapeutic treatment?
- Improves BLOOD circulation
- Reduces lactic acid build up reduces CO2 and increase O2 in blood supply
- Reduces Muscle Pain and spasm
- Improves Recovery post exercise
- Release feel good hormones (Serotonin & endorphins)
So what is BEMER (PEMF) therapy
PEMF wavelengths work at a rhythm in order to communicate with the nerves of the body. This special wavelength encourages capillaries to widen and gently oscillate, encouraging local blood flow and allowing an increased amount of nutrients to reach areas of the body far from the core of the circulatory system.
