Garden Route Veterinary Physiotherapy

Garden Route Veterinary Physiotherapy Following soft tissue injuries, fractures, trauma or surgery, physiotherapy is common place to improve the rehabilitation process and restore function.

Veterinary Therapy involves the assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal and/or neurological conditions in animals. It combines movement analysis in order to identify potential problems. Physiotherapy is a complimentary therapy that aims to maintain and restore normal functioning. The most common areas of treatment are:
- Optimize the healing process and accelerate return to function, independence or performance in the competition horse or dog.
- Post-operative rehabilitation for animals with orthopedic or neurological conditions.
- Enhancement of quality of life in patients with degenerative conditions such as arthritis. Physiotherapy is delivered by:
- Equipment such as LASER therapy and electrostimulation.
- Manual techniques such as mobilisations, soft tissue techniques and stretching.
- Rehabilitation and exercise plans. I am happy to work with any Veterinarian to ensure the health and well-being of your animal. The following are some of the conditions that can be helped through the use of physiotherapy:
- Pre- / Post-op Surgical Conditions
- Hip / Elbow Dysplasia
- Spinal Conditions
- Neurological Conditions
- Arthritis / Degenerative Conditions
- Deteriorating Mobility
- Soft Tissue Injuries
- Weight Management
- Wound Repair

The 4 stages of OA progression, and how to treat each phase...

Canine Arthritis is a common condition affecting more than one out of every four dogs (Anderson et al, 2018). The progression of arthritis and the pain experience in individual dogs can be complex and challenging to manage, although many treatment and management options are available. Arthritis will progress through four stages, and the treatment and management of dogs will vary depending on the veterinary team and owner involved in their care.

Canine osteoarthritis can be divided into four stages. Treatment interventions for each stage can include owner education, rehabilitation, NSAIDs, environmental modifications, weight management, dietary changes, and exercise. Secondary treatment options that are less well established can be included as part of a multi-modal treatment approach to control pain and dysfunction in the individual patient.

A team of veterinary professionals specialising in the treatment of canine osteoarthritis (OA) came together to discuss and create guidelines that may be used by professionals in the treatment of canine OA, to create a science-based and effective treatment strategy for individual patients with this condition. In this weeks blog we discuss their findings.
