Canine Health & Rehabilitation offers in-home Myofunctional and Rehabilitation services in North West Tasmania using a positive reinforcement and fear-free approach. Seeing your dog in their own home environment ensures they feel more comfortable during treatment. This is particularly beneficial for timid or anxious dogs who become stressed in non-familiar settings, or around other dogs.
Canine Myofunctional Therapy
A holistic, therapeutic treatment that utilises massage, stretching, & rehabilitation exercises to treat pain and manage or prevent injuries. It also helps to keep your dog pain free and active as they age.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Following surgery humans see a Physiotherapist to help them recover faster, ensure they are doing their exercises correctly and help them return to an active life. Your dog is no different. They require the same care to optimise the surgical outcome, and ensure they return to living their best life.
Senior Dogs
As in humans, old age in dogs can be painful as the body slows down, and muscles & joints struggle to work at their full capacity. Many older dogs also suffer from painful conditions, such as osteoarthritis. Regular massage treatments, and some simple range of movement and strengthening exercises, helps them remain active and happy in their senior years.
‘I wish you could have seen Ruby tonight. She’d been for a pretty big walk & then floated up onto the Ute, wagging her tail madly. Even my friend noticed how much happier she is! If my dogs are happy, I’m happy. So we all appreciate you helping us out’.
