Canine Physiotherapy
course of my treatment
It is important to me that I help your animal holistically. Because diseases in the musculoskeletal system are often linked to organic or systematic problems and vice versa. That's why I make sure in my work to perceive your animal as a whole and not just focus on the illness you called me for.
FIRST TREATMENT
When I first get to know you and your animal, I take a lot of time to examine your dog closely and feel for blockages. Experience has shown that this appointment lasts between 60-90 minutes.
At the appointment I carry out a complete initial assessment including a detailed anamnesis interview, a gait analysis and the joint assessment. This is followed by the development of a therapy plan tailored to your animal and, of course, the treatment.

FOLLOW-UP TREATMENT
The subsequent appointments focus on the treatment. Therefore, depending on the findings and the form of therapy, these appointments take between 30-60 minutes . The progress of the therapy is checked and, if necessary, the therapy plan is adjusted.
Follow-up treatment is always agreed individually and unfortunately cannot be booked online.
TREATMENT INFORMATION
In order to make the appointment as pleasant as possible for you and your dog, please note the following Information: Your dog should not have moved too much before the treatment. A short walk around the block would be ideal. Ideally, your dog should not eat anything for 2-3 hours before the treatment. Please bring treats and a dog towel with you to the treatment.
My forms of therapy
I use the following services in the therapy of your animal.
physical therapy
Physiotherapy involves manual measures in which blockages are released in order to restore the body's mobility and functionality. Targeted stimuli are set to support the body in healing itself. These include u.a.
classic massages and manual therapy
fascial treatment
Stress point massage nach Jack Meagher
underwater treadmill
The therapy in the underwater treadmill has numerous positive effects. On the one hand, the buoyancy of the water is very gentle on the joints, on the other hand, the temperature and massage effect of the water stimulate the metabolism. It is used, among other things for prevention and pain relief in diseases of the musculoskeletal system and for muscle building. The cardiovascular system can also be stimulated and stabilized with the help of water therapy.
laser therapy
During treatment with laser light, bundled rays of light penetrate through the skin into the underlying tissue, fascia and muscle layers and activate cell regeneration there. It is mainly used for muscle and tissue injuries and can have a pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory, decongestant and tissue-healing effect.
leech therapy
The treatment by leeches goes back to a thousands of years old tradition. Valuable anti-inflammatory substances such as eglin and hirudin are released into the body through the release of saliva when the leeches are applied.
Leeches can be used for acute inflammation and chronic symptoms (arthrosis).
physical therapies
I increase the effect of the manual therapy treatment with various physical therapies, such as:
Electrotherapy (low frequency)
Magnetic field therapy
thermotherapy
Supportive Therapies
Following my holistic concept I also offer the following forms of therapy: _cc781905-94cf5cf5bad
Phytotherapy (herbal medicine)
Mycotherapy (treatment with medicinal mushrooms)
Potentiated remedies (homeopathy)
