Physiotherapy

EMMA KIRBY M. Anim Stud (Phty) B. App Sci. (Phty)

Physiotherapy treatment modalities and techniques are effective at modulating pain and inflammation, assisting healing, facilitating muscle activation and strength, assisting with joint mobility and soft-tissue problems. Physiotherapy assists in spinal problems, post-surgical rehabilitation such as cranial cruciate repairs and fractures, and cases where osteoarthritis / degenerative joint disease / hip dysplasia are painful and limiting function. Treatment can involve manual soft tissue therapies (including massage, myofascial, trigger point, positional releases), spinal and peripheral joint mobilization, strength and stability exercises and stretching, electrotherapy and owner/animal exercise programs.

Emma spends around an hour with each patient and uses a range of techniques.

Appointments are available Monday afternoons and all day Thursday.
