Canine rehabilitation therapy is an integrative form of medicine that is used in many facets of our pet's lives including senior wellness. Dr. Jane Hiser of Quioccasin Veterinary Hospital is the only veterinarian in the greater Richmond area certified as a canine rehabilitation therapist. She creates personal programs consisting of heat and cold therapy, manual therapy and massage, and a variety of therapeutic exercises using treadmills, balance equipment, and aquatic therapy to improve the quality of life and enhance the psychological disposition of senior pets. The use of canine rehabilitation therapy has yielded significant advantages over traditional protocols by restoring a patient’s prior abilities, easing discomfort, and maximizing the functional outcome of conditions resulting from disease, injury, and decreased mobility.
