REHABILITATION CAN ENHANCE PATIENTS’ QUALITY OF LIFE

Rehabilitation can be prescribed for a variety of conditions a pet may experience, from osteoarthritis to neurologic conditions, weight management, and post-surgical care. The benefits include increased joint mobility, improved muscle strength, reduced pain and faster healing. The goal overall is an enhanced quality of life for the animal.
