Physiotherapy.

Hands-on rehabilitation for chronic pain, mobility issues, and post-surgical recovery.

Physiotherapy at Lanes Vets

Small animal veterinary physiotherapy.

At Lanes Vets, we believe every pet deserves to live a comfortable, active, and pain-free life. Whether your pet is recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition like arthritis, or needing support after injury, we are proud to have an in-house veterinary physiotherapy referral service.

What is veterinary physiotherapy?

Veterinary physiotherapy is a specialised discipline focused on restoring and maintaining mobility, reducing pain, and improving overall physical function in animals.

It is far more than just massages and stretches. It is a multimodal programme designed for complete rehabilitation. By targeting muscles, joints, nerves, and soft tissues, physiotherapy supports your pet’s natural healing processes and improves their overall quality of life.

Why choose physiotherapy for your pet?

Science-based techniques

At Lanes Vets, our rehabilitation team utilises evidence-based therapies designed specifically around animal biomechanics and tissue healing. Our treatments may include:

  • Targeted exercise therapy: customised movement plans to build core strength, balance, and joint stability.
  • Manual therapies: specialised massage, joint mobilisation, and stretching to relieve tension and improve range of motion.
  • Electrotherapies: modalities such as laser therapy, electrostimulation, or heat / cold treatments to accelerate tissue repair and manage pain.

Multimodal management

No single treatment works in isolation. Physiotherapy works seamlessly alongside your pet’s existing veterinary care, pain medication, and alongside other professionals to support recovery as holistically and streamlined as possible.

Qualified, specialist practitioners

Our physiotherapy service is delivered by fully certified practitioners with specialist higher education in Veterinary Physiotherapy who are also Registered Veterinary Nurses with the RCVS, meaning your pets are in safe hands. We stay at the forefront of animal rehabilitation to ensure your pet receives expert care tailored to their unique anatomy and situation. Our physiotherapist is registered under the Institute of Registered Veterinary Animal Practitioners (IRVAP).
