What is involved in cat physical therapy and rehabilitation? - Two Hands Four Paws
There are many things involved in cat physical therapy and rehabilitation. We have to consider the cat's mindset as they are a bit different than dogs. We primarily address mobility issues, which may not always be easily recognized in cats. The methods we use for helping them with mobility and comfort include laser treatment, acupuncture, underwater treadmill, and sometimes manual therapies like massage. What we do greatly depends on what the cats will allow us to do, but usually, we can significantly improve their comfort with physical rehab.
