The sporting and working dog The sporting or working dog is an elite athlete. Physiotherapy can help the dog to achieve working and sporting goals through prevention and treatment of injuries and pain. The injured dog Physiotherapy can help in the treatment and rehabilitation of dogs that have suffered from fractures, muscle and ligament injury. Working in liaison with the veterinarian the treatments the physiotherapist uses can reduce pain, enhance healing and restoring the dog’s movement following injury.
Congenital and orthopaedic conditions Congenital problems such as hip and elbow dysplasia, and cruciate disease are common. These conditions can cause pain and loss of function reducing the dogs quality of life. Physiotherapy can help to manage pain, and provide programs designed to help the dog improve and maintain function. Neurological problems Physiotherapy can help in the rehabilitation of animals with neurological problems such as spinal disc disease whether a conservative or surgical approach is decided on. Treatments employed by the physiotherapists can reduce pain and help to improve movement via gait re-education and exercise programmes. After surgery Following surgery due to orthopaedic or neurological diseases and fractures the physiotherapist can help in the rehabilitation process working closely with the veterinarian. Early intervention and treatment with physiotherapy can enhance recovery and help in the prevention of complications.
