How Do I Know If My Pet Needs Physical Therapy?
·Has your animal had a recent, past or chronic injury, accident or trauma which is apparently causing pain or poor movement?
· Has your animal had a recent surgery? (Orthopedic & Neurological surgeries in the human field are ALWAYS followed by physical therapy.)
· Is your animal not functioning or performing to the best of his/her
ability?
(whether unable to go over a jump or just get up and down the stairs!)
· Has your animal developed a behavioral problem for no apparent reason?
· Does your animal have a sore back when you pet or brush it?
· Has your pet developed weakness anywhere?
If you can answer yes to any of these questions, then your pet may benefit from a physical therapy assessment and treatments!
