Canine Physiotherapy is most commonly used following injury/illness for rehabilitation purposes however this is simply due to lack of awareness of physiotherapy and the benefits prior to these catastrophic events.

Physiotherapy can be used to decrease the chances of injury thus whilst not guaranteed by implementing physiotherapy whilst your dog is young for MOT purposes you could reduce, delay or even prevent injury from occurring.

Dogs are VERY good at hiding their pain, however, a physiotherapist is trained to pick up the smallest of clues. By detecting pain early and treating the cause you then help to reduce secondary compensatory issues which could then prevent further significant injury. Thereby keeping your dog happier and healthier for longer.
