This modality is an integral part of a comprehensive rehabilitation plan. Exercise can improve circulation, joint mobility, range of motion, strength, balance, flexibility, endurance, proprioception, and weight bearing or proper use of the affected limbs. This can help prevent injuries by getting your dog to use their bodies better which can improve overall function. 

Targeted exercise plans specific to each individual pet’s condition and level of fitness are formulated. We focus on strengthening the muscles needed to maintain or improve function. We also work on balance, range of motion, and awareness of foot placement. Home exercise plans will be given to clients as well, including videos to demonstrate how to perform each exercise.
