In-Home Rehabilitation

Our in-home canine rehabilitation services bring our expertise and compassionate care directly to you, ensuring your dog receives personalized treatment in a familiar and stress-free environment.

Our Approach

We understand that injury, surgery, chronic pain, or age-related changes can impact your dog’s quality of life. Our experienced team collaborates with you to create a customized rehabilitation plan, focusing on your dog’s unique needs and your goals for their recovery and wellness.

Our In-Home Rehabilitation Services

Manual Therapy

Manual therapy is at the heart of our hands-on approach. Using specialized techniques such as joint mobilizations, passive range of motion, stretching, myofascial release, and soft tissue mobilization, we help:

• Improve joint mobility and flexibility

• Enhance tissue healing and circulation

• Relieve pain and discomfort

• Optimize muscle function and proprioception

Some manual therapy techniques can be taught to you, empowering you to continue your dog’s care between visits1.

Therapeutic Exercise

Just like in human physical therapy, therapeutic exercise is essential for canine rehabilitation. We design tailored exercise plans to:

• Build strength and stability

• Improve balance and coordination

• Support recovery from surgery or injury

• Address specific mobility challenges

We’ll guide you through each exercise, ensuring your dog’s safety and progress.

Canine Fitness and Conditioning

For dogs needing a boost in overall wellness or athletic performance, our fitness programs go beyond everyday walks. We incorporate cross-training activities to:

• Enhance cardiovascular health

• Build core strength

• Prevent injuries

• Support weight management

Senior Wellness

Older dogs often face multiple challenges such as arthritis, joint pain, muscle weakness, and neurological conditions. Our senior wellness services focus on:

• Maintaining mobility and independence

• Managing pain and chronic conditions

• Improving quality of life with gentle, enriching activities

• Weight control and nutritional guidance

• Home modifications and assistive device recommendations

We address both physical and cognitive changes, helping your senior dog continue to enjoy daily activities4.
