Physical therapy and rehabilitation are a new specialty on the forefront of cutting edge advances in veterinary medicine. Treatment involves a patient specific regimen of modalities and exercises such as agility and gait re-education, balance and proprioception training, use of heat and cold, use of therapeutic laser, and use of prosthetics/orthotics or assistive devices such as carts. Animal rehabilitation transforms the way dogs and cats recover from surgery, injury, and other debilitating diseases.

re·ha·bil·i·ta·tion  (rē-‘hə-bil’-ə-tā’-shən)

n. Restoration to good health or useful life, as through therapy and education.


Post-surgical patients improve 50% faster than patients without rehabilitation.

One in five dogs has osteoarthritis, and 90% of cats over the age of 12 suffer silently with the same disease. All can benefit from rehabilitation.
