FIRST VISIt
The full orthopaedic and neurological evaluation will be conducted by one of our trained, experienced rehabilitation practitioners, prior to any forms of therapy being prescribed. This helps us to better understand the physical health condition and ability of your pet. The hour-long full assessment also includes advice on the recommended supplements and home care best suited to your pet's current condition to prevent further injury and reduce inflammation (if any).
How does an orthopaedic and neurological evaluation benefit your pet?
The evaluation is conducted to understand and assess your pet’s stance, gait, strength and range of motion of all joints, in addition to a thorough structural assessment of their biomechanics. This allows us to identify the root cause of discomfort, pain, weakness, reluctance for proper limb usage, or any other dysfunctionality in activities — from daily lifestyle to agility performance.

We will be conducting checks of the following:
​
-

What to expect after the evaluation
Our therapist will formulate a customized rehabilitation plan according to your pet’s individual needs to maximise the likelihood of a positive outcome with explanation of required modalities and frequencies of the sessions. We will also take into consideration your pet’s existing medical issues if any, as well as phobias/fears or handling preferences. We will be happy to update your preferred veterinarian of their progression periodically. We do not diagnose.
