Canine physical therapy

Physical therapy for canines, or canine rehabilitation, adapts human physical therapy techniques to increase function and mobility of joints and muscles in animals. Animal rehabilitation can reduce pain and enhance recovery from injury, surgery, degenerative diseases, age-related diseases, and obesity.〔Hellyer P, Rodan I, Brunt J, Downing R, Hagedorn J, Robertson S. 2007. AAHA/AAFP Pain Management guidelines for dogs and cats. J Am Anim Hosp Assoc. 43:235-248.〕
The goal of physical therapy for animals is to improve quality of life and decrease pain. Although most veterinary practices offering physical therapy are geared toward canines, techniques used in this discipline can also be applied to horses, cats, birds, rabbits, rodents and other small animals.〔Rivera PL. 2007. Canine Rehabilitation Therapies I and II. Proceedings of the 79th Annual Western Veterinary Conference; 2007 Feb 18-22; Las Vegas. 11p.〕
== History ==
The benefits of physical therapy for animals have been widely accepted in the veterinary community for many years. However, clinical practice of physical therapy for animals is a relatively new field in the U.S. In Europe, equine and canine physical therapy have been widely recommended and used for at least the last fifteen years. In the last three to five years, the veterinary community in the U.S. has seen a large growth in physical therapy practices for animals, making it a more available resource for practicing veterinarians. This growth in the availability of canine physical therapy is forcing a change in focus in many veterinary practices from curative and palliative care to preventive care. An example of this is the push for the use of animal physical therapy for weight reduction in obese animals. Weight reduction can reduce the risk of developing many degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis and DJD.〔Mlacnik E, Bockstahler B, Muller M, Tetrick M, Nap R, Zentek J. 2006. Effects of caloric restriction and a moderate or intense physiotherapy program for treatment of lameness in overweight dogs with osteoarthritis. J Am Vet Med Assoc. 229(11):1756-1760.〕〔Rivera PL. 2007. Canine Rehabilitation Therapies I and II. Proceedings of the 79th Annual Western Veterinary Conference; 2007 Feb 18-22; Las Vegas. 11p.〕
