Asked Questions

dog asking a question
1. Could you explain the difference between rehabilitation and physiotherapy?

Rehabilitation is a broad term that includes various treatments and therapies aimed at helping pets recover from injuries, surgeries, or illnesses. Physiotherapy is a key component of rehabilitation, focusing specifically on physical methods like exercise, massage, and other techniques to improve mobility and function.

2. Does Nimble Paws offer physiotherapy exclusively for dogs and cats?

Yes, we specialise in providing physiotherapy for dogs and cats. Our tailored approach ensures that your furry friends receive the best care suited to their specific needs.

3. Do I need a referral from my vet to access physiotherapy care for my pet?

While a referral from your vet isn't strictly necessary, it can be very helpful. It provides us with valuable medical history and insights into your pet’s condition, allowing us to create a more effective treatment plan. If you’re unsure, just drop an enquiry and we can guide you through the process!

4. Are there any age, size, or temperament restrictions for pets receiving physiotherapy?

No, we welcome pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Each treatment plan is customised to meet the unique needs of your pet, ensuring they receive the best possible care.

5. Will my pet feel any pain during the physiotherapy session?

Our goal is to make the sessions as comfortable as possible for your pet. While some treatments might cause mild discomfort, they should not be painful. We always monitor your pet closely and adjust the therapy to ensure their comfort.

6. Can physiotherapy benefit healthy cats and dogs?

Absolutely! Physiotherapy can help maintain flexibility, strength, and overall well-being in healthy pets. It’s a great way to keep your furry friends active and prevent potential issues down the road.

7. How many physiotherapy sessions are usually needed to see improvement?

The number of sessions needed varies depending on your pet’s condition. Some pets may show improvement after just a few sessions, while others might require ongoing treatment. We’ll work closely with you to track progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
