Initially a detailed history will be taken, discussing many aspects of your animals social and medial history. Following this a static observation and gait assessment will be performed to assess how your animal moves and stands. A hands on assessment of your animals muscle tone and joint range of motion will follow to get a complete understanding of how their musculoskeletal system functions.
Any areas of muscloskeletal dysfunction will be treated using a variety of therapeutic techniques and equipment, these include:
- Soft tissue massage
- Myofascial release
- Passive range of motion
- Active range of motion
- Stretches
- NMES
- TENS
- Pulsed Magnetic Field Therapy
- Therapeutic Ultrasound

A home exercise program will also be put in place to continue to supple, stretch and strengthen your animals muscluloskeletal system. If required, further sessions will be discussed and a treatment plan instigated.
