What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy helps restore movement and function when someone or animal is affected by injury, illness or disability. 

 Physiotherapy can help with:

  rehabilitation
  re-educating muscles to prevent muscle wastage
  reducing pain
  enhancing healing and minimising scar tissue
  and improving function to restore movement and performance.

Whether the problem is subtle or large, physiotherapy can help to improve quality of life.

Veterinary physiotherapy is fast becoming an essential part of rehabilitation for all animals. It involves a comprehensive assessment and a myriad of treatment techniques to help manage and prevent a range of physical conditions. It strives to promote the healing process and help a speedy return to function following any surgery, injury or pre existing condition e.g. arthritis.
Expert assessment and treatment also involves easy to use down to earth advice with an individual home exercise programme to help your animal be more content and achieve your targets.
 Brid also recognises the importance of involving owners by teaching specific hands-on-techniques that can make a real difference in the healing process and the long-term management of a condition.
Early intervention and treatment with physiotherapy can enhance recovery and help in the prevention of complications.
Veterinary permission is required by law for all consultations / treatments.
