Physical Therapy can be used for different reasons. It can provide faster recovery after surgeries, accidents or illness and plays a big role in the prevention of injuries and illnesses. The goal of Physical Therapy is an improvement of quality of life through pain relief, muscle strengthening, as well as restoration of joint mobility.
Therapeutic massage is more than a gentle stroke. It works deeper into muscles, inner organs and stimulates blood flow of the massaged tissue. Muscle relaxation and the distribution of endorphins in the body provide pain relief. Different techniques provide detonisation (relaxation) and tonisation (strengthening) of the muscles.
This includes: manual therapy, stretching, passive range of motion exercises, scar tissue treatment, myofacial trigger point therapy, etc.
Balance, body awareness and muscle strengthening exercises are performed with the help of different equipment such as wiggle boards, cavaletti and peanut balls.
Low Level Laser Therapie (LLLT) stimulates cell proliferation in the body and has a wide spectrum of uses. Common applications include wound healing, scar suppression, tissue regeneration, inflammation reduction and pain relief. This treatment has been around for years and animals tolerate it well.
