Arthritis

Is your older dog slowing up? Becoming more grumpy? Generally enjoying life less? Many people consider canine arthritis unavoidable part of an aging dog's life but it doesn't have to be! Physiotherapy can offer multiple treatments and management strategies which have been proven to significantly improve these dog's quality of life. Increasing strength and endurance with a specific exercise program will help support joints and modulate forces going through them to protect from further damage. Laser therapy reduces joint pain and swelling while soft tissue techniques alleviate discomfort from muscular compensations. Golden oldies are one of my favourite patient groups to treat as the transformation in these dogs can be amazing and they are incredibly rewarding to work with. Treatment options are evolving all the time and gone are the days when tablets and rest are the only things we can suggest. Get in touch today to find out how we can help.
