PHYSIOTHERAPY TREATMENTS

MANUAL THERAPIES

Manual therapy manipulates the soft tissues and joints

Massage

There are a number of massage techniques that can be used on a wide range of cases

Benefits of massage therapy:

Reduced tone of muscles
Increased strength of connective tissues
Increased flexibility
Mobilisation of scar tissue after injury/surgery
Increased blood flow
Increased lymphatic drainage
Increased mental well-being

Stretching

Stretching lengthens the soft tissues and muscles. Dynamic stretches require the animal's movement to stretch the targeted muscle groups, whilst static stretches require someone to hold a stretch for the animal.

Benefits of stretching:

Increased flexibility
Reduced pain and stiffness
Prevention of injuries

Joint Mobilisations & Manipulations

The mobility of a joint depends on how freely it can move through a range and is crucial for effective movement. If a joint becomes too mobile or stiff, the stability and mobility balance of the joint are affected. If not corrected, hypermobile and stiff joints can lead to poor muscle activation, ligamentous strains and reduction in the animal's optimal movement.

Benefits of joint mobilisations & manipulations:

Improved joint function
Pain relief
Enhanced mobility
Stimulation of the nervous system

Electrotherapies

Electrotherapy treatments involve applying energy into the tissues to influence the mechanisms of the body

Laser

Laser is a non-invasive, painless application of infrared light into the tissues, modulating the tissue function. There are a wide range of conditions that can benefit from laser therapy such as osteoarthritis, tendon and ligament damage and, hip and elbow dysplasia.

Benefits of Laser:
