JLB Veterinary Physiotherapy
Canine
Veterinary physiotherapy plays a key role in helping your dog live a healthy, active, and pain-free life. Whether recovering from injury, managing a chronic condition, or maintaining performance, physiotherapy can make a lasting difference.
Regular sessions can help reduce recovery time after injury or surgery, while also lowering the risk of re-injury by strengthening weaker areas of the body.
Canine physiotherapy is tailored to each dog’s needs. Some dogs, especially post-surgery, may be anxious or sensitive, which is why gentle approaches such as laser therapy and fun, game-based exercise programs are often used to keep the experience positive and effective.
