Physiotherapy

Pet physiotherapy, also known as physical therapy or veterinary rehabilitation, is a supportive treatment designed to help pets recover strength, mobility, and confidence in movement following surgery, injury, or illness.

Physiotherapy focuses on improving movement, flexibility, balance, and overall well-being, helping pets return to everyday activities as comfortably and safely as possible.

Dog physiotherapy and cat physiotherapy may be recommended after surgery, injury, or if your pet has reduced mobility, stiffness, or chronic conditions. Pet physiotherapy can also play an important role in the long‑term management of conditions such as arthritis, helping to maintain comfort and mobility over time.

Physiotherapy for pets can include techniques such as massage, targeted exercise, and stretching. Each rehabilitation plan is tailored to your pet’s individual needs to help reduce pain, improve strength, and support recovery.

In many cases, your veterinary team may recommend at-home exercises as part of your pet’s physiotherapy plan. These exercises are designed to complement in-clinic sessions and support ongoing rehabilitation. Clear guidance will be provided to ensure exercises are carried out safely and effectively, helping maximise the benefits of your pet’s rehabilitation plan.
