In my approach to Physiotherapy Rehabilitation, I treat every pet as an individual, recognizing that each one has unique needs, personalities, and challenges. My goal is to create tailored, customized treatment plans for each patient, with a focus on alleviating pain, accelerating recovery, and enhancing overall quality of life.
I believe that all pets, regardless of age or condition, can benefit from rehabilitation. This is particularly important after injuries, for maintenance in breeds predisposed to specific congenital or hereditary conditions (such as patella luxation or spinal diseases), or for improving the quality of life in pets suffering from conditions like cancer, arthritis or obesity.
The Veterinary Rehabilitation and Hydrotherapy (VRH) team at Beecroft is committed to improving the quality of life for your beloved animal companions through enhanced mobility. We believe that movement and play are essential components of a fulfilling life.
Our rehabilitation services, including canine and feline rehabilitation, are tailored to a wide range of cases, from post-operative recovery and pain management to building strength and slowing the progression of degenerative conditions. We offer various therapies, including animal hydrotherapy, to help your pet achieve optimal mobility and well-being.
Osteoarthritis
This degenerative joint disease often causes pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Canine and feline rehabilitation can help manage pain, improve joint flexibility, and slow the progression of osteoarthritis, allowing your pet to stay active and comfortable.
Mobility Issues
Whether caused by injury, surgery, or age-related decline, mobility issues can impact your pet's well-being. Our rehabilitation programmes can help restore strength, flexibility, and coordination, improving your pet's ability to move freely and enjoy their daily activities.
Weakness or Muscle Atrophy
Muscle weakness or atrophy can result from various factors, including injury, surgery, or neurological conditions. Our targeted exercises and therapies can help rebuild muscle mass, improve strength, and enhance your pet's overall mobility.
Neurological and Orthopaedic Surgeries
Rehabilitation is crucial after neurological or orthopaedic surgeries to promote healing, reduce pain, and restore function. Our veterinarians will create a customised plan to aid your pet's recovery and help them regain their strength and mobility.
Conditions like IVDD (dog slip disc) can cause pain, weakness, and mobility problems. Veterinary rehabilitation can help manage pain, strengthen supporting muscles, and improve your pet's overall function and quality of life.

Expertise & Experience Team Our team of experienced veterinary specialists are highly trained in the latest procedures and technologies. We have a deep understanding of animal anatomy and physiology, and we are committed to providing the highest quality care for your pet.
Advanced Technology & Facilities Equipped with state-of-the-art rehabilitation equipment, including underwater treadmills, laser therapy, and electrical stimulation units, this allows us to provide the most effective and comprehensive rehabilitation programmes for your pet.
Comprehensive Range of Services Whether your pet needs post-operative care, pain management, or physical therapy, we have the expertise and resources to help them recover and thrive.
Signs your pet might benefit from veterinary rehabilitation include pain, stiffness, limping, weakness, difficulty walking, loss of balance, recent surgery or injury, and chronic conditions like arthritis.
We will start by conducting a thorough assessment of your pet’s condition, including a physical examination, medical history review, and diagnostic tests. This information will help us develop a personalised rehabilitation plan that is tailored to your pet’s specific needs and goals.
The rate of improvement will vary depending on the severity of your pet’s condition and the type of rehabilitation programme they are undergoing. However, you can typically expect to see some improvement within a few weeks.
Animal hydrotherapy, particularly the underwater treadmill, helps reduce pain and inflammation, improve strength and flexibility, increase range of motion, and enhance cardiovascular health in dogs and cats.
The best way to collaborate with a veterinary rehabilitation specialist is to communicate openly and honestly about your pet’s needs and goals. Be sure to ask questions and share any concerns you have. We will work closely with you to ensure that your pet receives the best possible care and support throughout their rehabilitation journey.
