Case studies:
Maddie
Maddie is a 13 year old Cockapoo.
She damaged her cranial cruciate ligament on both hindlimbs and had a Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy (TPLO) on both hindlimbs.
Maddie got a combination of massage, K laser and prescribed exercises to help her with her rehabilitation.
Maddie now comes to me on a maintenance program to slow progression of osteoarthritis.
Toby
Toby is a 4 year old Wire Fox Terrier
Toby was born with a luxating patella and needed surgery to help prevent it luxating.
Toby started getting physiotherapy because he was still skipping after his surgery due to muscle loss on his hindlimbs.
Toby was treated with a combination of massage, K laser and prescribed exercises.
Toby loves doing his exercises as you can see:
