Appointments

Initial appointments last for approximately 60 – 90 minutes and include a thorough and full assessment of your animal, followed by a treatment session and home exercise programme, if appropriate. Subsequent follow-up sessions will usually last 60 minutes.

Sessions will typically consist of the following aspects:

• • Taking a full history of the animal (initial assessment only)
  • Static and dynamic gait assessment
  • Palpation (hands-on analysis of the animal’s musculoskeletal system)
  • Assessing the animal’s joint range of motion
  • Personalised treatment programme (formed of massage, myofascial release, stretches, electrotherapies and thermotherapy as appropriate)
  • Personalised home exercise plan to optimise progress between physiotherapy sessions
  • Full report sent to your vet and multidisciplinary team (initial assessment only)
