- Rehabilitation following orthopaedic surgery
- Neurological conditions, such as degenerative myelopathy, intervertebral disc disease and lumbosacral disease
- Rehabilitation following injury
- Optimising performance and wellbeing
- Obesity and weight management
What does treatment involve?
A treatment plan will be formulated based on the assessment findings. Treatment modalities may include:
- Massage
- Soft tissue mobilisations including myofascial release & stretching
- Manual therapy
- Exercise prescription
- Advice to owners
- Electrotherapy treatment, including neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES)
- Collaborative working with the vet
Where is assessment and treatment completed?
Naomi is a mobile veterinary Physiotherapist, so she will visit your dog at home, allowing them to be assessed and treated in the comfort of their own home.
