Why Pet Rehabilitation?

Human medicine discovered long ago that people recover faster from injuries and surgery and have a better quality of life when physical therapy is included in their treatment. Our pets can benefit from this same approach. Conventional wisdom that kept pets inactive through cage confinement or instructions for minimal activity are now being replaced by more beneficial approaches adapted from human physical therapy. 

By using a team approach involving the primary family veterinarian, surgeon, physical rehabilitation veterinarian and pet owner, we can achieve far more than just a successful surgical outcome, we can achieve maximum medical recovery and early return to normal function.   At Asheville Pet Rehab, we address the unique needs of each pet and owner and customize treatment plans in the comfort of your home.
