An animal physiotherapy service in Christchurch that works on orthopaedic, neurological and fitness needs in dogs, cats and other animals. It works with veterinary surgeons, and it says a pet does not have to be an athlete or a working dog to benefit.
Every animal starts with a thorough orthopaedic and neurological assessment, along with fitness and sport-specific testing, and then gets a treatment plan. Follow-up sessions run for one hour or 30 minutes, depending on the treatment. Treatments include manual therapy such as myofascial release, therapeutic massage and trigger point release, joint mobilisation, Class 4 and Class 3B veterinary laser therapy, underwater treadmill therapy and Game Ready hot and cold compression. Owners are often shown a home programme. The clinic stocks harnesses, braces, treats and supplements, and can order other products. Phone 03 420 2210 to talk to the team.
