The collaboration between physical therapists and veterinarians fosters a holistic understanding of canine performance and injuries. Physical therapists contribute their knowledge of exercise prescription, manual therapy, therapeutic modalities, and gait analysis to develop tailored rehabilitation plans for each pet's specific needs.
Physical therapists play a crucial role in designing prehabilitation programs, which aim to prevent injuries and enhance the dogs' physical capabilities before engaging in sports or working activities. By addressing strength, flexibility, and proprioceptive deficits, prehabilitation programs help reduce the risk of injuries in canine athletes.
Following an injury, physical therapists work closely with veterinarians to develop individualized rehabilitation protocols. These programs focus on regaining muscular strength, endurance, coordination, balance, and flexibility in injured dogs. Canine athletes receive the necessary support to recover fully and return to their peak performance levels.
AHT packages include consultations, physical assessments, Physiotherapy sessions, post evaluations, and progress reports. PT sessions may include other manual therapies and techniques to speed up the recovery process naturally and improve the quality of life of pets who have had surgery, suffer from chronic pain (hip dysplasia, bulging discs, etc.), have been injured, for weight management, general maintenance, taking preventative measures, and is also extremely beneficial for active or working animals.
