IS PHYSIOTHERAPY ONLY USED WHEN THERE IS AN INJURY INVOLVED?
No! Prevention is always better than cure! Physiotherapy can help strengthen and build muscle to help minimise the forces that get put through the joints of body during both movement and standing. Physiotherapy treatment can help reduce unnoticed pain and increase the flexibility of musculoskeletal tissue, helping to reduce any compensatory effects. By beginning physiotherapy early for your pet, it will help reduce the risk of developing an injury in the future.
