provides a low-impact and high-resistance environment to help your pet rebuild muscle mass, strength, stamina, and reduce impact and stress on sore joints. This is a very controlled exercise that is excellent for many conditions and especially useful postoperatively after orthopedic procedures and various neurological conditions.

is a non-invasive and drug-free therapy that has been clinically proven to stimulate/modulate certain cellular functions. Through the application of light at specific powers, frequencies, and wavelengths we can control photochemical processes to help reduce pain/inflammation and stimulate healing/regeneration of damaged tissues. Laser therapy is especially beneficial when treating osteoarthritis, post-operatively, tendon/ligament injuries, and intervertebral disk herniations.

consist of targeted motions and activities aiming to reduce musculoskeletal imbalances through strengthening and range of motion exercises. These exercises allow us to focus on specific muscle groups or encourage certain postures for maximum benefit. Because therapeutic exercises are so versatile, they can be used for so many different conditions and tailored to the pet’s individual needs.

utilizes manual and mechanical manipulation of soft tissues to help reduce myofascial tightness, trigger points, promote relaxation, and improve tissue extensibility. This modality is especially beneficial when helping to relieve myofascial discomfort from compensation.

includes hands on techniques and mobilizations to help treat musculoskeletal dysfunction and pain. This modality is comprised of a variety of passive movements that are applied to synovial joints (joints of the limbs and spine) at various speeds and amplitudes to help reduce pain, reduce stiffness, improve range of motion, break up adhesions, and reduce inflammation. This therapy can be especially beneficial in dogs with osteoarthritis, hip dysplasia, and spinal discomfort

Targeted Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (tPEMF™) therapy delivers a micro-current to damaged tissue that is precisely tuned to trigger an animal’s own natural anti-inflammatory process. The electromagnetic signal, which is one-one-thousandth the strength of a cell phone, stimulates cellular repair by upregulating the body’s own production of endogenous nitric oxide (NO).

The biological effect of that induced current is the functional therapeutic component of tPEMF technology. Enhancing nitric oxide, the body’s own anti-inflammatory molecule, has several biotherapeutic effects depending on the target tissue and the specific characteristics of the tPEMF waveform used.

PEMF is an excellent adjunctive therapy to laser therapy or oral pain medications and can be an option for home-based therapies.

uses low-level electrical currents to provide pain relief and improve muscular contractions. NMES or Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation stimulates the muscle to contract to help prevent disuse muscle atrophy in immobilized pets. It can also be used to help retrain the muscles to contract when neurological deficits are present (ex. Paralysis after and FCE or ANNPE).

or Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation is used to help treat pain and discomfort. This can be used to treat pain associated with orthopedic conditions or back pain.

uses a light and stretchy fabric tape applied to the skin or short fur to help reduce pain associated with muscular tightness, increase microcirculation, and improve fascial gliding. It is used with other therapies as an aspect of a multi-modal program.

or ice application is a simple modality used for local anesthesia by numbing an area. It also helps to reduce blood flow, edema, slow nerve conduction and cell metabolism. This can be performed with a straightforward ice pack or through ice up massage.

or heat application increases the temperature of the skin and underlying soft tissue to increase blood flow, speed cell metabolism, increase oxygenation of the tissues, promotes relaxation and increases the extensibility of the tissues.

can provide external support and help when needed to aid our furry companions with their mobility and comfort. We work with a variety of companies to provide custom aids for your pets.

Depending on the help required, we can discuss which option would benefit your pet best, take measurements, order, fit and show you how to use the assistive device.

Some common devices include:

Wheelchairs

Protective boots

No knuckling boots

Full body harnesses

Carpal supports

Tarsal supports

And many more…

for dogs that have a hard time navigating slippery flooring, have weakness, or reduced awareness of their limbs; having good traction can make a huge impact on their mobility. There are many different traction aids on the market. Some work better than others depending on the dog, their conformation, the surfaces they walk on, etc. We can assess and discuss the different options available and which may be the best option for your pet. We work with several different companies to find the best fit.

for dogs that are preparing for competition or general fitness, we can develop custom conditioning programs tailored to the dog’s abilities and what they are competing for through therapeutic exercises and hydrotherapy.

Bring the rehab home, with tailored Home Exercise and Therapy Programs! Whether we are complimenting an in-clinic rehab program or developing an entirely home-centered rehab program, we are here to assist.

We utilize PhysioTec to aid our clients in performing exercises/therapies at home with videos, pictures, and written instructions. Once set up with a profile you will be able to access your pet’s individualized home rehab program. If owners have questions about how to perform exercises, we are always happy to organize an in-person demonstration with you and your pet.

There is the potential to use this harness and lift your dog entirely! We want it well-padded so it doesn’t dig into any soft areas.

It can be quite difficult to have just a pelvic support harness that will stay in place. It is often paired with a chest harness and linked together to ensure it stays in the proper position.

Choose a harness that supports at the pelvis. It is much more comfortable for your dog when assisting them by applying the lift pressure at the pelvis instead of the over the soft abdomen.

For male dogs, choose a harness that can accommodate the male anatomy. This will make it much easier for you when taking him out for bathroom breaks and more comfortable for your dog too.

Choose a harness that will help YOU, to help your dog. Keep in mind for comfortable handles or straps to make it much more user friendly.
