If you have ever received Physical Therapy treatments yourself, you may already have a good idea of how Physical Therapy can improve mobility, decrease pain, and improve overall quality of life.
Canine Rehabilitation is simply the application of human Physical Therapy principles and techniques on dogs, performed by a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner (CCRP) or Certified Canine Rehab Therapist (CCRT).
Canine Rehab is an emerging field that recognizes that dogs, just like people, can benefit from modalities, specific exercise programs, manual techniques, and other therapeutic interventions that improve fitness, restore function, and decrease pain.
