The PT + Vet partnership
We follow a model that is common in human healthcare with the physician being the primary care professional and recommending therapy as appropriate. Animal physical therapists are doctors of PT who are specialized in treating animals and have undergone extensive training to combine understanding of animals with knowledge of rehabilitation. We are team members specialized in applying movement science(including biomechanics and an understanding on how to safely progress exercise programs), therapeutic modalities, and manual therapies with our passion for animals. We work as a team to help patients improve mobility and quality of life as they age or return from injury/surgery.
Communication is KEY and maintaining a close relationship with referring Vets is a priority! We will keep you updated with their progress and, most importantly, to make sure that they are following-up with you should any medical issues arise!
