Home Exercise Program

Rehabilitation is an essential part of your dog’s healing and you are a critical component to your dog’s rehabilitation! You will receive a home exercise program on your first visit for your loved one.  When working on decreasing pain, strengthening, and improving mobility, there are many things that I can teach you to do yourself at home.  In my arsenal, I have over 250 handouts (weight-bearing, ROM, traction, neurological, forelimb & rear limb strengthening, balance/proprioception, core strengthening, stretches, flexibility soft tissue handouts…) depending on your dogs need.  I will also train you in good body mechanics so you will not get injured during exercising your loved one.  These exercises will be performed in between sessions and re-evaluations to increase healing and decrease further injuries returning your dog back to doing the activities/sports he/she loves to do pain-free.  I have information on equipment that you can purchase to continue your pet’s exercises at home such as balance equipment and peanut balls, portable neuromuscular electrical stimulation units, Assisi Loops, and more.
