What is Canine Rehabilitation?
Canine rehabilitation is similar to Physical Therapy for humans. Canine rehabilitation is the treatment of dogs for orthopedic, geriatric, athletic, neurological injuries and conditions. It is dogs recovering from injury or surgery, trying to prevent injury or surgery, and managing chronic conditions as it relates to the musculoskeletal and neurologic systems. Physical therapy is an essential component to recovery in the human medical field, and I take the same principles and apply them to the treatment of your pet!
As a physical therapist since 1992 (Cleveland State University Graduate), and many years of experience working in human PT before transitioning into canine rehab; I am placed in a unique position to help you as well. I will focus on teaching you how to care for your pet in a safe way, avoiding common injuries like back pain that arises when assisting a pet who has decreased mobility. I can also help develop an exercise home program for you, the pet owner, so you are strong and healthy to better assist your pet.

In this time, Renee helped identify and address many soft tissue and orthopedic issues on her assigned patients, specifically adding a component of manual therapy to their programs. The outcomes for rehabilitation of her patients with soft tissue injuries indicate the values of these services.”
