Does she have issues getting in or out of the car on her own? Is she recovering from surgery? She may benefit from pet physical therapy.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>About animal rehabilitation\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Animal rehabilitation has been increasingly recognized across the U.S. in the past few decades as a highly effective practice for animals. Rehabilitation\u00a0 gained attention due to its many benefits for humans, which are now increasingly applicable for safe use with our pets too.<\/p>\n<p>Animals can experience pain, disability, and disease just like their human counterparts, so why not provide them with the best care so they can return to an independent, pain-free life? Rehab modalities are scientifically researched approaches that have been highly effective in helping animals to regain functional movement and reduce their pain.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why would my pet benefit from animal rehabilitation?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Movement concerns such as going up and down the stairs safely, getting in and out of a vehicle independently, joining you on your morning walk or jog, reduced ability to comfortably posture to go potty, and limping or holding up a leg while trying to walk can all be addressed by pet physical therapy.<\/p>\n<p>These changes that you are noticing in your pet&#8217;s behavior could be a result of various problems including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/vetmedbiosci.colostate.edu\/vth\/services\/orthopedic-medicine\/arthritis-management-and-prevention\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Osteoarthritis<\/span><\/a> (OA)<\/li>\n<li>Post-operative surgeries<\/li>\n<li>A traumatic event (falling\/twisting\/broken legs)<\/li>\n<li>A disease process<\/li>\n<li>A genetic predisposition (mom and dad\u2019s genes)<\/li>\n<li>A neurologic condition (ruptured discs or paralysis, strokes)<\/li>\n<li>Overweight<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These issues detail a few scenarios where animals experience a decline in their coordinated movement and struggle with intermittent or chronic pain.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Is my pet hiding her pain?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Animals, unlike humans, hide injuries or pain because instinctively they need to. If they show signs of weakness in the wild, they become prey and are ostracized by their pack and sent off to fend for themselves or die. Although we have domesticated several species of animals, they never lose that instinct to attempt to hide pain or injuries for fear of being left behind.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What kind of therapy do animal rehabilitation experts use?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There are several therapies and exercise plans that can be implemented in your pet&#8217;s routine, depending on their needs. An assessment should be done by your veterinarian (or a veterinary specialist) in order to get a diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p>Once a diagnosis has been made, several therapies can begin. Treatment often includes flexibility and strengthening exercises meant for you to do at home, or in-home with a rehab specialist present, as well as at a facility. This helps with consistency and goal-setting. Wobble boards, therapy balls, and good quality exercises increase strength, balance, and coordination. Cold laser therapy increases circulation, decreases inflammation and pain, and promotes the healing of tissues at the cellular level. Myofascial release and trigger point work helps remove those tight areas and can help with compensation injuries that have occurred due to changes in the way your pet moves.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/hire\/animal-massage\">Animal massage therapy<\/a><\/span> relaxes your pet, promotes better circulation, and helps their overall movement and stretching. Medications, herbal supplements, and a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/hire\/pet-nutritionists\">healthy pet diet<\/a><\/span> can also help in getting your pet moving and experiencing less pain. You can also book a certified pet physical therapist on <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/\">PetWorks<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Your pet does not need to live with pain or limited mobility. Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly pet physical therapy rehabilitation is effective and can help your animal live a more comfortable, happy life &#8211; walking and running by your side again instead of on the couch!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>About the Author<\/h5>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2014\" src=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-01-15-at-1.54.44-PM-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"143\" height=\"143\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-01-15-at-1.54.44-PM-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-01-15-at-1.54.44-PM-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 143px) 100vw, 143px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From a very young age, Renee DeSimone (CVT, CCRA) has always had a passion for animals.\u00a0 In 1998 she turned that passion into a profession.
