Canine Home Exercise & Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation doesn't stop when your appointment ends.
The exercises your dog completes between physiotherapy appointments are an important part of their overall rehabilitation.
At North Western Vet Physio, every home exercise programme is tailored to your dog's individual needs, abilities and rehabilitation goals.
Rather than giving you a generic list of exercises, we select specific exercises that target the areas identified during your dog's assessment.
What might a home exercise programme include?
Depending on your dog's condition and stage of rehabilitation, exercises may include:
-
Sit-to-stands
-
Controlled walking exercises
-
Pole work
-
Balance exercises
-
Proprioception exercises
-
Baited stretches
-
Weight-shifting exercises
-
Strengthening exercises
-
Mobility exercises
-
Gradual return-to-exercise programmes
Exercises will be demonstrated during your appointment so that you feel confident completing them at home.
Following your appointment, you will receive a link to your exercise plan containing videos and detailing the frequency of exercises.
Designed around your routine.
We understand that rehabilitation needs to fit into everyday life.
Your dog's programme will be designed to be realistic and achievable within your home environment and daily routine. Where specialist equipment is required, we can advise you on suitable options.
