Cats

 

Yes! We do rehabilitation for cats.

 
 

There’s no ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to therapy for pets and this includes cats too, every cat is unique so their treatment has to be as well. Developing a personalised rehabilitation program for a cat, while sometimes can be challenging, is absolutely possible. We work with them to find what they will tolerate and how to get the rehabilitation results they need. The misconception exists that cats will not tolerate therapeutic exercises (especially when water is involved), but we have found that it can be done and it can be enjoyable for them.

We offer a range of therapies to help your cat including massage, neuromuscular stimulation, stability & strengthening exercises, phototherapy, therapeutic ultrasound and pulsed electromagnetic field therapy. We can even offer aqua treadmill therapy, which we introduce hydrotherapy slowly to minimise stress and to prevent aversion to the water.
