Physical Therapy for Pets and Their People
Physical therapy is proven to relieve discomfort, speed healing, and reduce complications in people with a multitude of physical disorders, injuries, and impairments. Physical therapy can also be beneficial prior to surgery, as an alternative to surgery or medications (in come cases), or to enhance strength, stability, flexibility, power, speed, and other qualities necessary for sport, work, play, and life.

This convenient solution minimizes stress and anxiety and ensures that your and your pet's needs and concerns are addressed through our pet and pet parent-focused approach.
