Is your Senior Pet slowing down? Veterinary Physiotherapy can ease arthritis, boost mobility, and keep them happy and active in their GOLDEN YEARS.
Grey muzzles | Wobbly stairs | Slower walks
If your once-bouncy companion is starting to feel their age, you’re not alone – and you’re not helpless. Getting older doesn’t have to mean giving up the things they love. Physio can make all the difference for Senior Pets – giving them more comfortable years, better mobility, and the ability to enjoy life, not just endure it.
Old doesn’t mean Broke
Slowing down isn’t just “getting old“.
It can be a sign of:
- 🚨 Arthritis or joint stiffness
- 🚨 Muscle loss (Sarcopenia)
- 🚨 Neurological changes
- 🚨 Chronic pain
- 🚨 Reduced balance or coordination
The GOOD news? We can help manage all of that – Gently; Naturally; and Effectively
How Physiotherapy Helps Senior Animals
Veterinary Physiotherapy focuses on comfort, function, and confidence.
That means:
- Pain Relief – through massage, laser, and gentle joint work
- Improved mobility – by keeping joints loose and muscles active
- Muscle maintenance – because muscle loss = more weakness = more pain (Cycle)
- Better balance – fewer slips, trips, or scary stair moments
- Mental stimulation – because movement boosts mood and brain health too!
What a Session looks like for a Senior Pet
Picture a SPA DAY with PURPOSE. A Senior Physio Session is Calm, Kind, and Tailored to their comfort level.
It might include:
- 🍃 Soft tissue massage
- 🍃 Gentle stretching
- 🍃 Passive range of motion exercises
- 🍃 Low -impact balance activities
- 🍃 Laser for deep joint relief
- 🍃 @ HOME tips to modify their space (ramps, rugs, etc.)
And of course, LOTS of praise and SNACKS 🥓. They’ve earned it.
