I have made the decision to move all appointments for the remainder of the day, due to the hot weather, with your pets welfare in mind 🥵

Physiotherapy increases blood flow, and in turn, your pets body temperature, which should be avoided with temperatures being so high over the next few days.

Please keep this in mind over the weekend, where temperatures are to reach 30 degrees 🔥 Please get in touch with your primary vet practice if you become concerned about your pet.

I have been in touch with all clients to reschedule, but please get in touch if I have missed you 🐴🐶 Enjoy the weather and stay safe !

🌞 HOT WEATHER REMINDERS 🥵
With warm weather here, it’s important to keep our furry friends safe and comfortable! Here are some quick tips from The Avenues
Vets:

🐕 Walk early or late – avoid the midday sun.
💧 Fresh water always – add ice cubes for extra coolness.
🏖️ Provide shade and cool spots to rest.
🚗 Never leave pets in cars – even briefly.
🔥 Pavement too hot for your hand? It’s too hot for paws!
⚠️ Watch for heatstroke: heavy panting, drooling, or weakness. Call us if you’re worried!

Let’s help our pets beat the heat! 🐶🐱💦

‼️NEW SERVICE‼️

We are delighted to introduce a new service to what we offer here at Thomson Rehabilitation.

Choosing your next horse is a substantial decision, one in which needs a lot of thought. Having a horse checked over by professionals, prior to purchasing is always advised, allowing for any problems to be highlighted in advance.

As veterinary physiotherapists, we have a unique outlook on the musculoskeletal structure and biomechanics of a horse, looking at musculoskeletal symmetries, joint angles, soft tissue quality and how a horse moves in hand and under saddle, which creates an in-depth picture as to what is going on.

Having a physiotherapy assessment for any potential new horses, can reduce the likelihood of any pre-existing conditions or pain going under the radar.

We will take the time to watch each horse move through a thorough in hand and ridden assessment, before moving onto a full, hands on, physiotherapy assessment. Following this, a full report will be provided to each client.

Disclaimer: At Thomson Rehabilitation, we always advise all clients have any horse vetted before purchasing, and this service is not to replace a vetting. It is to add another outlook and a different professional opinion in a specialised field.

We look forward to helping as many people as we can, find their perfect horse or pony. Please get in touch to discuss anything further or to book in for us to attend a viewing 😃
