What We Do

Canine Rehabilitation Therapy (CRT) applies the principles of physical therapy to dogs, using hands-on evaluations to assess joint function, muscle condition, and movement patterns. After identifying the root of your dog’s pain or dysfunction, we create a personalized treatment plan—often teaching you how to support your dog’s healing at home. Just like people benefit from physical therapy after injury or surgery, our four-legged companions can now enjoy the same recovery advantages through CRT.

 

 


 

The Benefits of CRT

  • Maintaining and improving mobility in the aging dog
  • Faster and safer recovery from injury or surgery
  • Improved mobility and ease of movement
  • Increased joint flexibility and joint health
  • Preseason fitness for working dogs

We Specialize in Treating

  • Surgical patients - CRT supports a smoother, faster recovery after surgery by reducing pain, improving mobility, and rebuilding strength.
  • Chronic lameness: Whether it’s arthritis, injury, or an old limp that never quite healed, rehab can help your dog move more comfortably and get back to enjoying life.
  • Geriatric dogs: Senior dogs greatly benefit from CRT by relieving muscle tension around arthritic joints, reducing pain, and preserving mobility—even when underlying tissue damage can't be reversed.
  • Working dogs: Pre-season fitness training enhances performance, prevents injury, and keeps working dogs in peak condition for the demands of their job.
