Animal Rehabilitation
A maintenance consultation is a follow-up assessment once your animal is placed on a rehabilitation plan. These appointments are shorter and are used to target on-going issues identified on initial assessment. However the do follow a similar(shorter) process to enusure nothing new has developed:
-
Static Assessment (standing animal still)
-
Dynamic Assessment (walk and trotting in a line)
-
Manual Assessment (assessing tissues and structures)
-
Treatment (massage, stretching, electrotherapies etc)
-
Treatment Plan
-
Demonstration of required exercises
After the session I will discuss how the animal has progressed and responded to treatment thus far and adjust the plan accordingly. If there is any deterioation I will refer you back to your referring vet and if things have improved we will discuss if there is any need for further appointments.
BE
READY
What to know before appointment.
As you have been registered prior to this appointment I will not require any forms for your appointment. However I may contact you prior to the appointment if I need an additional insurance form.
​
Please keep record of your animals progression throughout the plan, a diary is a brilliant way of documenting any improvements, difficulties, behaviour or regression. I will ask for an update at the beginning of each session to make sure the plan is suitable and if not I can tailor it.
