Dr. Hiser is certified in rehabilitation therapy for companion animals and is practicing physical therapy techniques on post-operative orthopedic surgery patients as well as senior animals with range of motion problems. Animal rehabilitation therapy, like physical therapy in people, is designed to help restore a patient’s prior abilities, ease discomfort, and maximize functional outcome following a procedure. Our hospital utilizes a variety of modalities and equipment to aid in pet therapy. Similar to physical therapy, a treadmill and rehabilitation pool are used for many patients.
