Pain Relief & Improved Mobility For Pets
Our veterinary team at Crestview Animal Hospital works with injured pets to help restore pain-free mobility using exercise programs developed to meet your pet's unique, individual needs.
Passive Range of Motion (PROM) and stretching activities are offered to help promote and maintain muscle, tendon, and ligament flexibility for your pet.
What Is Therapeutic Exercise?
Therapeutic exercises improve the movement of synovial fluid, reducing enzymes that break down cartilage, thus promoting healthier joints in cats and dogs.
Our team at Crestview Animal Hospital uses a variety of therapeutic exercises to reintroduce healthy movement including treadmills, balance boards, surface variation, changing inclines/hills, stair climbing and more.
Our vets will work with your pets to increase their mobility and reduce the pain associated with inflamed joints and degeneration while closely monitoring their abilities.
