Ollie Has PT for Shaky Hindlimbs
Is your senior companion slowing down? Physical therapy could be the key to keeping their tails wagging and their spirits high!
Here’s Why:
Enhanced Mobility: Physical therapy exercises and techniques help maintain muscle strength, joint flexibility, and balance, allowing senior dogs to move with ease and grace.
Pain Relief: Gentle therapeutic exercises, massage, and modalities like hydrotherapy alleviate discomfort from arthritis, hip dysplasia, and other age-related conditions, improving your furry friend’s quality of life.
Cognitive Stimulation: Mental enrichment activities incorporated into physical therapy sessions keep senior dogs’ minds sharp and engaged, promoting cognitive function and emotional well-being.
Preventative Care: Regular physical therapy sessions can identify and address emerging issues before they become major concerns, helping senior dogs stay ahead of the curve in their health and vitality.

Little Daga Falls Asleep During her Acupuncture Session
Daga receives acupuncture and physical therapy to relieve her pain from her advanced arthritis. As you can see, she slowly falls asleep once the electroacupuncture unit is turned on and connected to her acupuncture needles. This strong holistic stimulation releases endorphins and other neurotransmitters to fight the inflammation and pain.
