How is the need for physical therapy in cats diagnosed? - Two Hands Four Paws
The need for physical therapy in cats is diagnosed through working with your general vet. We may need to get x-rays or perform advanced diagnostics. When we do our physical rehabilitation assessment, we measure limbs, assess muscle mass, check the range of motion of the joints, and observe their walk. We use our experience and training to determine what needs to be addressed first. It's always good to have as much information as possible. Therefore, I recommend seeing your veterinarian first, doing whatever diagnostics need to be done there, and then coming to see us where we're highly trained in this particular area.
