Summary: Physical rehabilitation or physiotherapy has been the mainstay of injury management in humans for decades. Historically, as vets we have been reluctant to urge early mobility after surgery with the perhaps misguided thought that the animal will use the limb when it is good and ready. Along with the greater awareness of pain control taken from our medical colleagues, physical rehabilitation is being seen as a very useful, if not essential part of injury management. I discuss physical rehabilitation with Danielle Robbins, a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist. For more information, check out Danielle's website at http://www.americandogrehab.com/
