Physical Rehabilitation
Who We Are
The Physical Rehabilitation service at Southeast Veterinary Specialists provides postoperative care for most orthopedic and neurologic conditions. Rehabilitation appointments are also recommended for many non-surgical conditions as well as strength and conditioning programs. Dr. Kenneth Ransom is certified in animal rehabilitation (CCRP) and can develop a schedule of treatment to achieve the desired goals.
Appointments
Appointments are scheduled on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday each week. Dr. Ransom can develop a unique rehabilitation schedule for each individual patient depending on their problem. Most rehab sessions require your pet to stay for part of the day. We recommend dropping off before 10:00am and picking up after 3:00pm.
Rehabilitation goals
Each patient treated by the Rehabilitation service is different, therefore each treatment regimen is tailored to the specific pet. The mainstay of most protocols involves water therapy, however other treatment modalities include range of motion exercises, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation of muscle groups. Extra care is taken to develop a protocol that will work for the individual pet.
