Basic Pet Physiotherapy
We are passionate about optimal patient comfort and recovery, after surgery or just throughout every day life.
Physiotherapy is an excellent way to help patients who have undergone major surgery, suffered trauma, and those who suffer from musculoskeletal ailments (like Intervertebral disc disease – IVDD, hip/elbow dysplasia and arthritis).

KimVet is equipped with basic physiotherapy equipment and our professional staff are well versed in the very best, updated physiotherapy techniques.
We create individualized programs for each patient and schedule regular follow-up sessions to ensure that these programs are up to date with the correct exercises and that they fit the tolerance level of the patient.
It is important to reach an equilibrium between what the patient can do safely, without risk of injury, and the push they need to progress further in their physiotherapy journey.
It is important that each patient is examined prior to commencement of physiotherapy. All professional staff members and owners need to be abreast of changes in condition to ensure a positive outcome and to avoid overexertion and unnecessary stress to the patient.
If physiotherapy is started too soon, it can have detrimental effects on the recovery journey, especially for very sensitive cases, like IVDD patients.
If started too late, muscle atrophy and weakness can prove to be too severe.

We are in close contact with trained animal physiotherapists should our patients require more advanced treatment or referral.
The physiotherapy journey for most pets is a long, but worthwhile, commitment.
We encourage our clients to make use of veterinary physiotherapy should it be recommended. It plays an exceptionally important role in our pets making the best recovery.
