What's in the immediate future, one word, Physical Therapy! If you are not familiar with this term, it was created to distinguish itself from physical therapy. HandicappedPets.com was honored to be a part of the 6th Symposium of the International Association of Veterinary Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy (IAVRPT) that took place at Auburn University from August 4-7. We offer grooming and boarding also. We do some exotics and we also perform canine physical rehabilitation ( physical therapy). Now the touch of the person can ease the pain that a pet feels and improve their quality of life. Woops; that's two words but in veterinary medicine we have to use just one word. Animal rehabilitation adapts many human physical therapy techniques to increase function and mobility for dogs, cats and horses. €One particularly unique Garzotto is a board-certified surgeon and certified canine rehabilitation therapist, and has been a faculty member at the University of Pennsylvania for nearly a decade, Magazu said. €The Rollins Center will employ a comprehensive system of modalities, including hydrotherapy, therapeutic laser and ultrasound, digital gait analysis, neuromuscular electric stimulation, massage, and a host of physical exercise programs,” he said. The word Rehabilitation or Rehab for short. Physical therapy, rehab available for pets The same way that any of us – couch potatoes, weekend warriors or athletes – would be referred to a physical therapist, the same option is now available to our pet companions. In my last year of veterinary school, the university had just started a canine rehabilitation program. Physical therapy is not new in human medicine and physical rehabilitation is now available to pets with some amazing results.
