Report
Just like in human patients, animals can benefit tremendously from rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation therapy can greatly help with post surgical healing, injury prevention and strengthening athletic and companion animals. Exercising in water provides the advantages of buoyancy, stability, and hydrostatic pressure.

Treatments
Report
We have many exciting tools to help your furry family member feel the best that they can! Some are new and cutting edge, such as LASER Therapy and Magnetic Field Therapy, while others have been used to heal for thousands of years, like Acupuncture and Massage Therapy. A lot of the treatments we utilize for our patients are modified from the human physical therapy world but until recently no one thought to adapt them for animals.
