Dog physiotherapy
Dog physiotherapy or dog gymnastics is a form of external application of remedies with the aim of alleviating complaints and functional and activity restrictions (pain reduction) or healing them.
Animals and dogs in particular can suffer from problems very similar to humans, which can lead to musculoskeletal disorders, pain - and even aggression as a result.
Essentially, canine physiotherapy relies on the manual skills of the therapist. As in human physiotherapy, canine physiotherapy can be supplemented with natural, physical stimuli such as heat, cold, pressure, radiation, sound, magnetism and electricity. Devices such as trampolines, spinning tops and rocking boards can also be used in a targeted manner to loosen tense muscles, improve joint mobility and learn new movement patterns.
Main areas of activity of canine physiotherapy
Pain relief, the release of protective posture and tense muscles using targeted dog physiotherapy, movement therapy and massage form the core areas of dog physiotherapy. The therapy is supported by appropriate apparatus and aids.
In addition to the core areas, the physiotherapist for dogs usually also treats malpositions, canine arthrosis, canine rheumatism and the like.
