All types of animals, from professional racehorses and show jumpers to beloved domestic pets like cats and dogs are referred by veterinary surgeons for physiotherapy treatment. Even other animals such as cattle, goats and ducks have successfully undergone physiotherapy for various issues. If you’re unsure whether physiotherapy is suitable for your animal, simply reach out to us and we can assist you in arranging a veterinary referral.
At LGAP Animal Physiotherapy, we employ the latest physiotherapy techniques, including soft tissue therapy, manual therapy, electrotherapy, manipulation and exercise therapy, to address diverse complaints and ensure the well-being of your animal. Our team stays updated on advancements in the field by attending international lectures and collaborating with physiotherapists worldwide.
Our experienced ACPAT Cat. A Physiotherapists assess and treat a wide range of conditions, with musculoskeletal injuries being the most common in dogs and horses. Soft tissue injuries involving muscles, tendons, joint capsules, or ligaments, as well as conditions related to the spine and peripheral areas, can all benefit from physiotherapy when administered correctly and promptly.
Convenience is key in our approach to treatment. Most animals can be treated at your home or stable yard, with onsite facilities available for inpatient rehabilitation if required. We also offer the flexibility to visit your veterinary surgeon with their consent, ensuring seamless coordination of care. Communication with the referring veterinary surgeon is vital where ongoing treatment is being run concurrently with physiotherapy.
We recommend regular veterinary evaluation to identify the early signs and stages of lameness and disease. Often, to achieve the best results, a combination of mobilisation, manipulation and electrotherapy are recommended in conjunction with advice on exercise programmes.
Horses
Just like us, horses can sustain injuries from accidents, overexertion, or during training or competition. Physiotherapy can aid in the recovery process, helping to rebuild strength, flexibility and mobility.
Dogs
Various factors can lead to physical injury in dogs, including accidents, developmental joint issues and age-related conditions. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in addressing these issues.
Other animals
Animals can suffer from painful movement due to injury or arthritis which in turn causes decreased mobility and muscle atrophy. Physiotherapy can control and reverse this vicious cycle of pain.
