Physical Therapy for Dogs in Westchester County, NY

Why Choose Physical Therapy for Your Dog?

Physical therapy offers a non-invasive and effective approach to managing pain, improving mobility, and enhancing your dog's overall quality of life. It can be beneficial for dogs of all ages and breeds, addressing a variety of conditions.

Many dogs experience pain or mobility issues due to age, injury, or surgery. Physical therapy can be a powerful tool in addressing these concerns and improving overall well-being.  For senior dogs, physical therapy can help maintain muscle mass, improve joint flexibility, and enhance their overall quality of life. It can also help dogs recover from injuries such as sprains, strains, and fractures.

For dogs undergoing surgery, physical therapy plays a crucial role in post-operative recovery. It can help manage pain, reduce inflammation, and restore mobility, allowing a quicker return to normal activities.  By choosing physical therapy, you're investing in your dog's long-term health and happiness.

• Post-surgical recovery:  Physical therapy can help your dog recover faster and more comfortably from orthopedic surgeries such as ACL repair, TPLO, or joint replacements.
• Arthritis management:  Reduce pain and inflammation associated with arthritis, improving mobility and comfort.
• Injury rehabilitation:  Help your dog regain strength and function after sprains, strains, and other injuries.
• Neurological conditions:  Improve balance, coordination, and muscle control in dogs with neurological conditions.
• Age-related mobility issues:  Maintain strength, flexibility, and mobility in senior dogs.
