Tackling Arthritis with Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy has been proven to be extremely effective in the management of arthritis. For many years human physiotherapy has been a key pillar in the treatment of such conditions. Now the same options are open to your patients in the animal physiotherapy field.

Primary care veterinarians are the first point of call for ageing pets and can identify many conditions such as arthritis that may be treated easily before they cause serious problems.

Physiotherapy has much to offer ageing pets. Physiotherapy treatments are now available as a key contributing treatment option in arthritis management and to help significantly improve quality of life. Physiotherapy assessment and treatment may include the use of mobility aids, specific strength and home exercise programs as well as active physiotherapy at the time of consultation or hydrotherapy to improve muscle mass and mobility.

Full programs include a number of physiotherapy and underwater treadmill sessions with expert physiotherapists and are priced at a significant discount to individual sessions. Physiotherapists Michelle Monk and Lisa Watson work with you to run comprehensive programs designed to most effectively manage the arthritic condition.

Please call the Centre on 03 9532 5261 for more information about physiotherapy for arthritis sufferers and ask to speak to physiotherapists Michelle Monk or Lisa Watson.
