PHYSIOTHERAPY

All dogs are natural athletes, and at Hurn Forest Canine Rehabilitation our focus is on improving and maintaining your animal’s quality of life. Physiotherapy can be used both preventatively and as part of chronic or post-operative rehabilitation, helping to manage many conditions conservatively before they worsen.

Veterinary physiotherapy can support orthopaedic and neurological conditions, pre- and post-operative recovery, arthritis management, and the conditioning of high-performance, sporting, and working dogs of all ages.

Treatment aims to reduce pain, inflammation, and stiffness; address muscle imbalance; restore joint range of motion; and improve posture, mobility, confidence, and overall function. Physiotherapy also plays an important role in injury prevention and the long-term maintenance of health and fitness.

Carlie believes that building confidence and independence through positive, force-free methods is central to an effective physiotherapy programme. Every patient receives a thorough initial assessment followed by a tailored treatment plan. Where mobility is limited, physiotherapy provides a safe, controlled environment to maintain and rebuild muscle mass over progressive sessions.
