Veterinary Physiotherapy

We are lucky to work alongside a qualified veterinary physiotherapist, Katie. She is the owner of Peak Performance Veterinary Physiotherapy and provides a mobile service as well as treating pets from our clinic.

Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation

Katie is a master’s level qualified physiotherapist registered with both RAMP and NAVP. This basically means that your pets are in very safe hands with her.

Veterinary Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is an essential part of rehabilitation following injury or surgery. As we incorporate physiotherapy into all orthopaedic patients’ recoveries, we are lucky to regularly see the benefits physiotherapy can bring

Physiotherapy aims to:

Reduce pain and discomfort
Relieve tension
Improve/maintain muscle mass and tone
Reduce musculature asymmetry
Improve or maintain joint range of motion and stride length
Promote circulation – increasing blood flow and lymphatic drainage to accelerate the healing process
Improve performance
Increase strength
Reduce the risk of injury
Improve/maintain well-being and quality of life

More information about Katie and the benefits of physiotherapy can be found here.

If you think your pet could benefit from veterinary physiotherapy, then please do get in touch with us to discuss. We can then arrange the referral to Katie if physiotherapy is an appropriate treatment option for your pet.
