Manual Therapy
Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used in veterinary physiotherapy to assess and treat physical restrictions in animals.
This specialised technique involves the skilled use of the therapist's hands to manipulate soft tissues, joints, and muscles, helping to improve mobility, reduce pain, and restore function.
Manual Therapy can:
-
Enhance Range of Motion: By addressing joint stiffness and muscular tightness, it helps improve flexibility and movement.
-
Relieve Pain: Reduces discomfort caused by muscle tension, injury, or chronic conditions like arthritis.
-
Improve Circulation: Promotes better blood flow, aiding in healing and overall tissue health.
-
Support Rehabilitation: Plays a crucial role in post-injury or post-surgical recovery by restoring normal movement patterns.
-
Boost Performance: For equine athletes, it helps maintain optimal condition by addressing imbalances and preventing injuries.
Every treatment is tailored to your animal’s specific needs, ensuring they receive the best care to move and feel their best.
