FAQ

Go Mobile Pet Rehab offers a range of specialized services to improve the well-being of your pet. Services include physical rehabilitation using techniques like manual therapy, laser therapy, and therapeutic exercises. I also offer electrical stimulation for pain relief and muscle support. Additionally, I collaborate with veterinarians, provide tailored home exercise plans, suggest mobility assistance devices, and offer virtual consultations for environmental modifications.

Once you’ve expressed interest in home rehabilitation services, I will contact your veterinarian for a referral. Once received, I will contact you directly to set up an appointment that is convenient for you. I will come directly to your home bringing everything I need to assist your pet.

• Has your pet recently had orthopedic or spinal surgery?
• Is your pet nervous in the car, making vet appointments or external rehabilitation facility appointments stressful?
• Is your pet mobility compromised or suffer from osteoarthritis, making it difficult to get in and out of the car?

If any of these sound familiar, Go Mobile Pet Rehab may be for you.

• The initial appointment is 90 minutes long. I take the time to get to know your pet and watch all movements while we discuss their history. Then I will do a full assessment of range of motion and functional mobility evaluations. We will then talk about a plan moving forward that will include therapeutic exercises and manual therapy as part of a tailored home exercise program.

I will always send your veterinarian the reports of my visits in order for them to be aware of everything discussed.

Honestly, there are many factors that will determine the frequency of my visits.

Initially, I may recommend more frequent sessions to achieve optimal results. As your pet progresses, we can gradually reduce the frequency.

Together, we will ensure that your pet receives the appropriate level of care and support throughout their rehabilitation journey.
