Generally

Most of the time the dog owners are sent to me by a vet. If an owner comes to me directly, I want the vet to be informed. In case of necessary veterinary assesment, I will contact the treating veterinarian with the consent of the owner.
The health insurance companies usually cover the cost of animal physiotherapy treatments.
The bill for treathment has to be paid immediate. You can pay cash or use Twint.
The costs are Fr. 32.50 for each started 15 minutes.
Beside my practice in Birmensdorf You can come to Steinhausen / Vets4Pets (friday) or Regensdorf / Bessy’s (tuesday) Info; www.rehapet.ch

Massage

All kinds of therapeutic massages to bring the tissues to optimal condition.

Passive applications

Hot and cold packs (heating and cooling down the tissues).

Also electrotherapy/magnetic field therapy and laser are treatment techniques.

These appications can be used for preparation or treating after other kind of treatment to prepate the tissues or to recover them afterwards. Hot and cold packs can be used as treatment at daily life.

Home exercises

Very important for the succes in the animal-physiotherapy. The patient may come twice a month for treatment. That is not enough for exercising. If the owner does not do the homeexercises or doing them not correct could slow down the healing proces.

Geriatric

For older dogs the animal physio can increase the quality of life. By using manual therapy, massage and exercises the tissues can relax and the dog can use his features for compensation on a proper way.

Load management

As expert for movement the animal physio can help You to explain the limits for the dog after an operation or injury. Also increasing the load to normal can be instructed by the physio.

Sportrehabilitation

As formely top-agility-sportsman I know which performance a dog has to do in sport. Also I can help to do a training for young dogs or for dogs after an injury, so the dog can do top-performance again.
