Helping Pets Move, Heal & Thrive
Physiotherapy for Pets
Restoring Mobility, Relieving Pain, Improving Quality of Life
At VetCall, we’re proud to offer physiotherapy services with our experienced practitioner, Philip Lo. Veterinary physiotherapy supports pets living with muscular, skeletal, and neurological conditions or recovering from injury. It can help reduce pain, improve movement and flexibility, strengthen joints and muscles, and enhance overall well-being.
Treatment plans may include massage, stretching, exercise therapy, weight management, and other specialised techniques. Each program is tailored to your pet’s unique needs, with a focus on improving mobility and quality of life.
After an initial assessment, we create a clear, personalised plan that almost always includes at-home exercises. To make things easier, we provide exercise sheets, images, or videos to guide you. Our team can also recommend supportive therapies such as diet changes, supplements, braces, harnesses, or weight control, ensuring your pet has the best chance at a happy, active life.
