Neuro Rehabilitation
Physiotherapy can help maximise the recovery of movement and function in patients with neurological conditions such as intervertebral disc disease, non- compressive disc extrusions, polyradiculoneuropathy and degenerative myelopathy among others. Post- operative and conservatively managed patients can benefit from physiotherapy input.
As these patients can be left with long lasting or sometimes progressive movement dysfunctions, physiotherapy can be valuable to help the pet owner manage their dog or cat at home.
Management plans usually include owner education and advice, progressive exercise plans aimed at improving muscle tone, strength, flexibility proprioception and function, advice on assistive aids and manual therapies.
