What does the Rehabilitation Session Entail?
The first session begins with an assessment of the animal’s current function, including range of motion, strength, a neurological screening, assessment of their functional mobility, and a gait analysis. After the assessment is made, the Rehabilitation Practitioner will advise the owner on what types of treatments would be appropriate, and how often the animal should attend Rehabilitation sessions. The Practitioner will also teach the owner to do any home exercises that may be included as part of the animal’s treatment protocol. If time allows, a treatment will be provided at this initial session.
