Initial consultation

90 minute session where we discuss your animal's background and case history. A full musculoskeletal assessment to include static, dynamic, palpation and range of motion testing is performed to highlight areas of focus. From this, a treatment plan is devised and performed using a mixture of manual and electrotherapies.

Follow up session

This appointment builds on the findings of the initial consultation whilst identifying and addressing any newly occurring issues. At the beginning of each session a reassessment will be carried out, ensuring treatment is tailored appropriately. These sessions form part of your animal's maintenance, sessions should be scheduled regularly to have maximum benefit and sustain the improvements made.

Rehabilitation plans

Rehabilitation plans are vital in the recovery of diagnosed conditions. As a physiotherapist, Imogen works closely with your veterinary surgeon to maximise and improve recovery. Rehabilitation plans encompass prescribed exercises specific to conditions that work on strengthening, suppling and reducing re injury risk.
