COMPREHENSIVE PHYSICAL THERAPY EVALUATION FOR CANINE REHABILITATION
At Head to Tail Pet Rehabilitation in Winnipeg, our veterinary rehabilitation team conducts comprehensive physical therapy evaluations to address musculoskeletal and nervous system issues affecting dogs' functionality. During the assessment, our practitioners gather medical information, obtain the dog's history, and carefully observe mobility, gait, range of motion, strength, and neurological deficits. They palpate for pain, tenderness, muscle atrophy, and swelling. Assessing the dog's history and the owner's observations helps determine the problem's duration, weakness extent, and pain perception. The hands-on assessment evaluates muscle quality, joint mobility, spinal flexibility, and reflexes. Our thorough evaluation allows us to create a customized therapy plan.

BENEFITS OF GERIATRIC PET REHAB
Our professional geriatric pet rehab services in Winnipeg help your older pets with better mobility and flexibility. Some benefits include:
-
Reduces pain and inflammation: As pets age, they often develop joint pain, arthritis, or other chronic conditions. Geriatric pet rehab includes treatments such as laser therapy, massage, and hydrotherapy, which help lower inflammation and ease pain.
-
Supports tissue healing and recovery: Ageing pets take longer to heal from injuries or surgeries. Rehabilitation encourages blood flow, supports muscle repair, and improves healing. We focus on gentle, safe methods to help older pets recover without stress on their bodies.
-
Increases range of motion and flexibility: Stiff joints and tight muscles can limit movement in senior pets. Geriatric pet rehab in Winnipeg helps improve range of motion through controlled exercises and stretching techniques. These sessions are designed to maintain or regain flexibility, which allows pets to move more freely.
-
Improves mobility and performance: Daily movements such as walking, standing, or climbing stairs can become difficult as pets age. Regular rehab can improve strength and coordination. Geriatric pet rehab aims to help pets remain active and maintain their ability to carry out everyday tasks more easily.
