What is Canine Physical Therapy?

Canine physical therapy utilizes specific, targeted exercises to increase strength, mobility, and comfort throughout your dog’s body, while simultaneously decreasing pain, reducing stiffness, and correcting compensation. Through careful assessment and a tailored approach, physical therapy can help your dog achieve optimal physical function and overall well-being.

Each physical therapy session is thoughtfully tailored to your dog’s individual needs, ensuring a comfortable and supportive experience.
