My pet just had orthopedic surgery. How can physical rehabilitation help?
Pets benefit from post-operative physical rehabilitation in the same way that humans do. By beginning a rehabilitation program shortly after surgery, your pet will return to normal activity more quickly, be less likely to develop compensatory problems elsewhere in the body, and will lose less muscle tone, cardiovascular fitness, and mental happiness than they might without following a rehabilitation program. They can regain their optimal quality of life more quickly, reduce their risk of re-injury, and reduce the risk/severity of longer-term problems associated with their initial injury. Physical rehabilitation will help your best four-legged friend to become fitter and move faster and farther more quickly!
