Pet Physiotherapy Services

Kate Recchia is our resident physiotherapist who has been practicing since 2017. She has a degree in veterinary physiotherapy and is a member of the National Association of Veterinary Physiotherapists (NAVP).

Veterinary physiotherapy is a holistic form of treatment used to help animals with chronic conditions, pain management, or after an operation — much in the same way that physiotherapy is used in humans. Kate uses techniques such as massage, joint range of motion, and mobilization exercises, as well as providing an exercise plan tailored to the needs of each individual animal.

How Physiotherapy Can Help Your Pet

Physiotherapy can benefit pets in many ways, including:

  • Pain Management: Physiotherapy techniques such as massage and stretching can help alleviate pain in pets with musculoskeletal issues.
  • Improved Mobility: Physiotherapy exercises can help improve your pet’s range of motion and mobility, making it easier for them to move around comfortably.
  • Faster Recovery: Physiotherapy can help speed up the recovery process for pets recovering from surgery or injury.
  • Enhanced Quality of Life: By reducing pain and improving mobility, physiotherapy can significantly enhance your pet’s quality of life.
