Veterinary Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy for dogs? Absolutely!
If your dog is struggling with mobility issues, stiffness, or recovering from an injury, physiotherapy can make a life-changing difference. Many dog owners come to us feeling worried about their dog’s discomfort or frustrated with the lack of long-term solutions beyond pain relief or surgery. The good news? Physiotherapy is a highly effective way to reduce pain, restore movement, and strengthen muscles—helping your dog enjoy a more active, happy life.
At Butterwick Animal Rehab, we specialise in evidence-based physiotherapy tailored to your dog’s unique needs. Whether they have arthritis, post-surgical weakness, or a long-term conditions like hip dysplasia or IVDD, our expert team uses a combination of hands-on techniques, targeted exercises, laser therapy, and advanced rehabilitation methods to get results.
Many dog owners have told us they never realised physiotherapy could help so much—until they saw the transformation in their own dog. Could this be the solution you’ve been looking for? Let’s find out together.
- Treats the root cause of the problem, thereby offering a permanent solution to the pain, not a temporary Band-Aid.
- Is non-invasive. No surgery. No fear.
- Stops pain. You will no longer have to see your dog suffer.
- Reduces restlessness: less pain means better sleep, both for you and your dog.
- Increases the mobility of your dog, thereby giving both you and your furry-friend back the opportunity to do the activities you love.
- Increases your dog’s energy levels, igniting in him/her a spark that you will not have seen since puppyhood. Think “Eeyore to Tigger” in a few sessions!
- Increases fitness levels. Your dog will surprise you by how much further, how much faster, and how much more willing he/she is to run and play.
- Gives you the tools to help your dog on his/her healing journey, thereby ensuring that your pet is given a jump-start to health right from home.
- Gives you answers. One of our great joys is helping owners get the answers they need in order to put their minds at rest. When you have answers you can understand… you can make the right choices.
- Helps you read the signs. It’s not enough to know that your dog is in pain – physiotherapy helps you notice the small, but telling ways your dog is trying to communicate his/her discomfort to you and gives you the things to help them too.
Physiotherapy for Dogs
Truthfully, physiotherapy does so much more than just heal your dog’s injuries, immobility, or stiffness.
If your dog’s undergone surgery, been injured, or is just getting old and less mobile, physiotherapy is the absolute best choice for you to make.
