PHYSIOTHERAPY FOR OTHER SPECIES

All species, from livestock to companions can benefit from veterinary physiotherapy as a form of rehabilitation, management or fitness. 

Feline Physiotherapy

Whilst many cats may not tolerate manual therapies in the same way that dogs do, there are a multitude of ways in which physiotherapy can be applied to felines, such as LED therapy and play-led exercises. 

​

Cats are independent, stoical creatures and are very good at hiding pain and discomfort - check out my blog for a post on how to spot the subtle signs of pain in cats.
