What to Expect at Your Dog’s Appointment!
Our appointments are designed to give a thorough understanding of your dog’s health, lifestyle, and movement so that we can create a treatment plan tailored specifically to their needs.
We will begin by discussing your dog’s medical history, current concerns, daily activities, exercise routine, and any goals you may have for their rehabilitation or performance. This is also an opportunity to discuss how your dog’s environment and routine may be influencing their condition. Advice and education will be provided on practical adaptations you can make at home to improve your dog’s comfort, mobility, and overall wellbeing.
A comprehensive physical assessment will then be carried out. This will include:
• Observation of your dog’s posture and movement patterns
• Gait assessment
• Range of motion assessment of relevant joints
• Palpation of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues
• Any appropriate orthopaedic or neurological special tests
Following the assessment, treatment will be tailored to your dog’s individual needs and may include:
• Low Level Laser Therapy (Class 3B laser)
• Joint mobilisation techniques
• Soft tissue therapy
• Myofascial release
• Other physiotherapy techniques as clinically appropriate
At the end of the session, a personalised home exercise programme will be created to support your dog’s progress between appointments. Exercises will be demonstrated, practised together, and adapted to suit both you and your dog to ensure they are achievable and easy to incorporate into your daily routine.
The aim of appointments is to reduce pain and discomfort, improve mobility and function, and provide you with the knowledge and tools needed to help your dog achieve the best possible outcome and update those practices each session on a tailored program based off your individual dogs recovery rather than “broad expectations” sheets or advice.
Every dog is individual after all!
