Who are
the Rehab Patients
When we think about the typical rehab patient,
we often think about dogs with traumatic injuries
or post-op patients. However, all dogs can benefit
from core and stability training, especially sport dogs
performing agility, flyball etc.
and working dogs like hunting dogs, rescue dogs etc.
where a strong core and good balance will help them
perform even better and help avoid injuries.
For older dogs and obese dogs, training and joint protectors
can help improve life quality.
Increase in demand for
rehabilitation
Physiotherapy, individual training programs, chiropractic and
other treatment modalities have become much more recognised
in human medicine over the past decades and the dog owners
are becoming more aware of the possibilities of doing something
extra for their dogs to improve rehabilitation after an injury
and their overall wellness. As a result of this we have seen
an increase in demand from dog owners asking that the veterinarian
offers rehabilitation plans and advice in addition to the more traditional treatments.
